Martin Rochette

Martin Rochette is a full professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at McGill University. He received the B.A.Sc. degree in physics engineering from Laval University in 1995. Then with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Laval University, he made an industrial M.Eng. degree with Exfo in 1995-1997 and a collaborative PhD degree with the National Optics Institute in 1997-2001. From 2001 to 2003, he has been an industrial researcher with the optical fiber communication industry. From 2003 to 2006, he was a postdoctoral researcher, successively with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Laval University and the Physics Department at the University of Sydney in Australia. He joined McGill University as an assistant professor in 2006 and promoted full professor in 2018.

His main research interests include fiber lasers, optical fiber components and devices, nonlinear fiber optics and mid-infrared photonics. He has co-authored more than 300 peer-reviewed papers in leading journals and conferences. Since 2006, he has served on the program committee of several international conferences, among which the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO), the IEEE Photonics Society’s Annual Meeting (IPC) and the Optical Fiber Communication conference (OFC).

For JLT he is handling submissions on the following topics:

• Fiber lasers

• Non-linear fiber optics

• Soliton dynamics

• Supercontinuum sources

• Mid-infrared fiber optics

• High-power fiber lasers
