Authors

Giancarlo C. Righini Nello Carrara Institute of Applied Physics (IFAC), National Research Council of Italy (CNR). Dr. Righini is a former director of the Enrico Fermi Center and of the National Department on Materials and Devices, CNR. He was also research director at IFAC and vice-president of the International Commission for Optics and International Union of Pure and Applied Physics. In 1991 he was one of the founders of the Italian Society of Optics and Photonics (SIOF), and later one of its Presidents. His research interests concern fiber and integrated optics, glass materials, and microresonators, with reference to both linear and nonlinear phenomena. He has published more than 500 research papers (ORCID: 0000-0002-6081-6971) and co-edited various books. He is a fellow of Optica (formerly OSA), SPIE, SIF (Italian Physical Society), EOS (European Optical Society) and SIOF. Luigi Sirleto Institute of Applied Sciences and Intelligent Systems, National Research Council of Italy (CNR), Italy. Since 2001, he has been a researcher at CNR in Naples. As visiting scientist, from 2001 to 2004 he spent several months at University of Twente (NL) and at UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles). In 2006, he founded the Nonlinear and Ultrafast Optics Lab at IMM CNR and since then he has led the research activities of the same. He was member of the Board of Italian Society of Optics and Photonics (SIOF) from 2009 to 2014. In 2018, he received his qualification as full professor of Experimental Matter Physics. He has served as a reviewer of many international journals and as committee member of a number of national and international conferences. He has been co-chair of Workshop Progress in Nonlinear Photonics and Applications (PNPA 2020). He has been co-editor of the book 'Nonlinear Photonics Devices' (MDPI, 2021). Since 2021, he has been a section editor of Optik and an associate editor of Journal of Nonlinear Optical Physics & Materials . He is co-author of over 200 papers, mostly on nonlinear/ultrafast optics spectroscopy and photonics devices.
