Daniel Maser

Professor Maser’s research focuses on low-cost construction and stabilization of fiber-based optical frequency combs and their usage to precisely measure near-infrared molecular rovibrational transitions. Prior to joining Connecticut College, Prof. Maser was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Williams College, where he worked Prof. Protik Majumder to perform high-precision measurements of atomic transitions in indium and lead. His doctoral dissertation involved modeling and developing broadband mid-infrared laser sources based on fiber lasers used for telecommunications, and using them to measure trace gas concentrations in the atmosphere. Additional details about his research lab can be found at his personal homepage.

Prof. Maser teaches courses ranging from introductory-level General Physics (PHY 107 and PHY 108) and Light and Color (PHY 114) to upper-level courses such as Experimental Physics (PHY 208), Electronics for Scientists (PHY 213), Electromagnetic Theory (PHY 324), and Quantum Mechanics (PHY 404).

Prof. Maser is a member of Optica (formerly the Optical Society of America) and the American Physical Society.
