VCSELs for Cesium-Based Miniaturized Atomic Clocks

Dr. Ahmed Al-Samaneh is currently an R&D engineer at Avago Technologies, Germany, where he is leading projects with the aim of realizing new high-volume, cost-efficient and high-speed fiber-optic products. He obtained his PhD. in electrical engineering from Ulm University, Germany in 2014. Dr. Al-Samaneh is the author and coauthor of several papers in international journals and conferences. His PhD. research interests focused on design, fabrication, and characterization of application-specific vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). He received the Best Student Paper Award in 2010 at the conference on Semiconductor Lasers and Laser Dynamics IV, as part of SPIE Photonics Europe, in Brussels, Belgium, for his work on VCSELs for Cs-based miniaturized atomic clocks. He received the M.Sc. degree in communications technology from Ulm University, Germany, in 2008, and the B.Sc. degree in electrical and computer engineering from Hashemite University, Jordan, in 2004.
