My name is Mohammad Reza Farhadinia (Persian: محمدرضا فرهادی‌نیا, click here for pronunciation), and I am from Iran. I recently graduated from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) in the College of Engineering at the University of Tehran with a master’s degree. I studied Electrical Engineering, specializing in Field and Wave (Communications). My supervisors are Professors Mahmoud Shahabadi and Jalil Rashed-Mohassel, and I am a member of the Photonics Research Lab. My master’s thesis, Modal Analysis of Optical Integrated Waveguides in LiNbO3 Technology was successfully defended.

Previously, I interned at the Laboratory for Optics and Biosciences (LOB) at the École Polytechnique within the Institut Polytechnique de Paris. I worked on nonlinear optics projects, specifically involving Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) Modeling of Coherent Nonlinear Microscopy. Additionally, I gained experience in various programming languages, including C++, Python, and MATLAB, under the guidance of Dr. Nicolas Olivier (NOLab).

I hold a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree with 142 credits in Electrical Engineering (Communications). I also have a Diploma in Education (Dip.Ed.) with 30 credits from Shahid Rajaee Teacher Training University (SRTTU), which I completed in 2021. My undergraduate thesis focused on Plane-Wave Reflection from a Grounded Slab of Complex Media. During this research, I extracted formulas and performed simulations for complex materials, including bi-anisotropic materials, under the guidance of Prof. S. Mohammad Hashemi.

My research interests are:

Optics & Photonics -> Nonlinear Optics, Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), Optical Fibers, Lasers, Optical Frequency Combs & Microresonators
Quantum & RF Photonics -> Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs), Superconducting Quantum Circuits, Microwave Quantum Optics
Large-Scale Photonics -> Optical Interconnection Networks & Optical Neural NetworksOptics

Modeling Coherent Nonlinear Microscopy of Axially Layered Anisotropic Materials Using FDTD

Abs arXiv Bib PDF

Providing quantitative interpretation of coherent nonlinear microscopy images, such as third-harmonic generation (THG), is generally hampered by the complex phase-matching conditions, especially in the presence of sample linear heterogeneity. We recently presented a numerical pipeline using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method to take this heterogeneity into account. However, due to software restrictions, we only considered nonlinear materials with diagonal nonlinear susceptibilities. We now expand the recently developed FDTD approach to model nonlinear microscopy for anisotropic materials that obey Kleinman Symmetry, organized in layers along the optical axis, and validate our simulations on well-described geometries.
