During his research, Emil Zanchetta Ulsig has focused on developing innovative ways to create new wavelengths of light using nonlinear photonics. By engineering special materials and laser-driven processes, Emil has made it possible to generate light usable for applications in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and secure communication.

His work includes designing photonic circuits that can convert laser light from one wavelength to another efficiently. These developments pave the way for practical uses in areas like quantum communication and sensing.

The PhD study was completed at Electrical and Computer Engineering, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University.
