Dean Guyer

As a student of Dr. Stephen R. Leone, Dr. Guyer received his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Colorado in 1983. From 1983 to 1986, he held a post doctoral position with Dr. C. Bradley Moore at the University of California, Berkeley where he developed a single-frequency laser and molecular beam system for studying molecular dynamics. From 1986 to 1993, Dr. Guyer was employed by STI Optronics, Inc in Bellevue, WA. Through a series of internal development projects at STI, Dr. Guyer pioneered the use of high output coupling optical parametric (OPO) cavities to attain high conversion efficiency (US Patent 5,079,445), developed KNbO3 as a mid-infrared OPO source (US Patent 5,065,046) and demonstrated the first broadly tunable, single-frequency OPO (US Patent 5,235,456). He subsequently utilized this experience to develop and commercially introduce STI's MIRAGE 3000 product, which was purchased by Continuum, Inc. in early 1994.
