Biography

Peter Tidemand-Lichtenberg is an Associate Professor specializing in Optical Sensor Technology at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). He has conducted significant research concerning novel light sources and detection systems designed for specific applications, emphasizing non-linear frequency mixing and the use of efficient solid-state semiconductor laser systems. His work extends to the spectral coverage of visible light and the mid-infrared range (2 – 12 µm), allowing for advanced gas sensing applications and monitoring combustion systems for environmental control. Recently, his research focus has been on hyperspectral imaging within the mid-IR spectrum. Tidemand-Lichtenberg has participated in various funded projects, including initiatives in non-invasive imaging, tunable light sources, and high-power coherent light generation. Furthermore, he has held management roles within several graduate schools and organized scientific meetings addressing quantum nonlinear optics and biomedical optics. Tidemand-Lichtenberg holds a Ph.D. in Physics from DTU and has contributed to research and development roles at various laser technology firms. He actively collaborates with PhD students on projects regarding upconversion imaging spectroscopy and has delivered presentations on the principles and applications of frequency upconversion. His expertise also aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in education and technology.
