In his doctoral dissertation, Oussama Korichi developed new optical interfaces that efficiently connect different light-carrying platforms, including free-space optics, optical fibers, and integrated waveguides. He also introduced a novel laser-written glass chip, only a few millimeters in size, that can precisely control and transform complex light patterns. Together, these advances point the way toward smaller and more powerful technologies for telecommunications, quantum computing, and advanced imaging.
The doctoral dissertation of MSc (Tech) Oussama Korichi in the field of Structured light titled Multi-Plane Light Conversion for scalar and vectorial spatial mode transformations will be publicly examined at the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Tampere University on 4 September 2026.
The Opponent will be Associate Professor Rodrigo Gutiérrez-Cuevas from the Paris-Saclay University in France. The Custos will be Professor Robert Fickler from the faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences.
