COMPANY | About UsDANIEL J. KANE, Ph.D. Dr. Kane developed the FROG Scan product line and is the co-inventor of Frequency-Resolved Optical Gating (FROG), the most used technique for measuring ultrafast laser pulses. He has invented several techniques in spectroscopy, optical coherence tomography, and ultrafast laser pulse measurement and holds 11 patents. He is the sole inventor of real-time measurement of ultrafast laser pulses using FROG and has a patent on this technology (US# 7,130,052). He holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a B.S. in Physics from Montana State University. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Los Alamos National Laboratories (Group CLS-4), and spent 17 years at Southwest Sciences. Dr. Kane is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America and the recipient of SPIE’s Harold E. Edgerton award in 2011. In his spare time, Dan skis, hikes, runs, and mountain bikes. DAVID S. BOMSE, Ph.D. Dr. Bomse joined Mesa Photonics as President in 2009. He is also in charge of developing products based on optical spectroscopy for use in gas sensing and mid-infrared laser characterization. David has over twenty years experience developing trace gas detection technology based on diode lasers. Many of his innovations are based on adapting new components that were engineered for telecommunications for optical spectroscopy. This approach has proven to be an efficient and inexpensive route to gas sensing technology. David holds a Ph.D. from Caltech, as well as a Masters from the University of Cambridge (England), and a Sc.B. degree with honors from Brown University; all are in chemistry. He was a J. Robert Oppenheimer Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory, worked for six years in Exxon’s Corporate Research Laboratory and spent 21 years with Southwest Sciences before moving to Mesa Photonics. David is married, has two daughters, two dogs, and is an avid golfer. SUZANNE GARNEY Suzanne has had a varied administrative career, working in the diplomatic, banking, medical, scientific, non-profit, and recreational fields. She holds a BA in history from George Mason University, and countless class hours in library & information sciences, media design, and accounting. In her spare time, Suzanne volunteers, runs, swims, hikes, cross-country skis, reads, and travels. |
