R.M Stevenson

R. Mark Stevenson received the first class degree in pure and applied physics from the University of Nottingham, Nottingham, U.K., in 1997. He joined the group led by M. S. Skolnick at the University of Sheffield, Sheffield, U.K. Experimental work on the optical properties of photonic crystal waveguides resulted in several publications regarding interesting aspects of photonic band structure, including photonic modes with zero group velocity. He was also involved in experiments on semiconductor microcavities from the design and characterization stage, up to angular resolved photoluminescence experiments that revealed polariton redistribution by stimulated scattering under CW excitation. Following his Ph.D., he took up his current position in 2000 at Toshiba Research Europe Limited, Cambridge, U.K., where he has published several papers on single photon sources for quantum information technology.
