Debora M. Kane is an Honorary Professor at the Department of Electronic Materials Engineering at the Australian National University since 2022[1][2]. Her research interests are in non-linear optics and laser physics. She is a Fellow of The Optical Society and has edited four books on nanotechnology, nanomaterials and semiconductor lasers.

Early life and education

[edit]

Kane obtained a bachelor's degree from the University of Otago in 1979.[3] In 1983, she received her PhD from the University of St Andrews. Her thesis used optical spectroscopy techniques to study atomic transitions in various materials for applications in laser physics.[4]

Research and career

[edit]

Kane began her postdoctoral career as a research fellow at the University of Southampton in 1984, working on developing techniques to improve the operation of dye lasers.[5][6][7] In 1986, she moved to Massey University, where she became a lecturer in physics.[8]

Kane was a faculty member at the Department of Physics at Macquarie University between 1989 and 2021, serving as Head of Department from 2003 to 2006, and later held a personal chair in Physics until the end of her tenure.[9] Her current research spans various aspects of laser physics, particularly non-linear optics and dynamics in semiconductor lasers,[10][11] how laser technologies can be used for applications in surface science studies and nanomaterial processing,[12] and the development of new visible and ultraviolet light sources.[13]

Awards and honours

[edit]

Selected publications

[edit]

Kane has co-authored over 200 academic publications and nine book chapters on laser physics.[17] She has also edited four books: Nanomaterials: Science and Applications (2016),[18] Nanotechnology in Australia: Showcase of Early Career Research (2011),[19] Laser Cleaning II (2007),[20] and Unlocking Dynamic Diversity: Optical Feedback Effects on Semiconductor Lasers (2005).[21]
