Martin Delaigue received the engineering degree in optics from Ecole Supérieure d’Optique, Orsay and the Master of Science degree in optics and photonics from Université Paris Sud, Orsay, France, in 2003 and the Ph.D. degree in 2006 from Université Bordeaux 1, Talence, France. His Ph.D. work was focused on the development on novel architectures to increase the average power of femtosecond laser sources using Ti:Sapphire and Yb-doped crystals as active medium. In 2007, he joined the Research and Development Department, Amplitude Systèmes and developed the new generation of crystal-based amplifiers. His current research interests include high power femtosecond laser sources based on crystalline architectures for industrial applications.
