William Loh

Dr. William Loh is Technical Staff within the Quantum Information and Integrated Nanosystems group, where he currently leads programs on the use of the stimulated Brillouin scattering optical nonlinearity for the generation of the narrowest linewidth lasers. His other research interests include theoretical studies of noise, pristine microwave signal synthesis from photons, ultralow-loss microresonators, microwave photonics, photonically integrated circuits, and fundamental studies of optical cavity nonlinearities.

Prior to joining the Laboratory, Loh was a NRC postdoctoral scholar at the National Institute of Standards and Technology where he researched the use of ultralow-loss microresonators to create the narrowest linewidth lasers in the world within a compact (~6 mm) geometry.

Loh has published a total of 45 papers with 25 as first author. He was awarded the Siebel Foundation Scholarship and IEEE Photonics Society Fellowship for his graduate work and was awarded the top rank of the NRC Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to continue his postdoctoral studies at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. He has served on the Optical Micro/Nano Resonators and Devices organizational committee for the IEEE Photonics Conference.

Loh received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan Ann Arbor.
