Charles Roxlo, PhD

Charles B. Roxlo is a technical consultant in electrical engineering and photonics who earned his doctorate at MIT for research on optically pumped semiconductor lasers. Roxlo received his Hertz Fellowship in 1980 and completed his doctorate in electrical engineering at MIT, where his dissertation examined the physics of optically pumped semiconductor lasers — a class of devices that use photons rather than electrical current to excite gain material. He subsequently built a career in industry and now works as a self-employed technical consultant.
