Welcome!
My name is Srikanth, and I am an Assistant Professor with the School of Computer and Electrical Engineering at IIT Mandi, India.
I work in the area of fibre lasers, specializing in real-time laser characterization techniques. I am keenly interested in applying such techniques in real-world applications, where multi-gigahertz bandwidth, megahertz-rate acquisition diagnostics can lead to interesting insights.
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT
Spatio-temporal dynamics of Fibre Lasers
Ride alongside coherent and dissipative features in fibre lasers to see how they evolve in real time, in experiment.

Analysis of Laser Radiation using the Nonlinear Fourier Transform
We demonstrate how the Nonlinear Fourier transform (NFT) based on the Zakharov-Shabat spectral problem can be applied as a signal processing tool for representation and analysis of coherent structures embedded into dispersive radiation in lasers.
