Dimitris is involved in everything optical in the BEC group.

Scientific interests

  1. Nonlinear interactions of ultra-short laser pulses with transparent media
  2. Exotic optical waves and light bullets
  3. Wavefront sensing and manipulation
  4. Laser microfabrication (in bulk structuring of dielectrics, micro-mechanics,
    diffractive surface structures).
  5. Dynamic holography, photorefractive materials
