Professional Bio

Michael Ware joined the BYU Department of Physics and Astronomy in 2004. His research specialty is optics, including both high-intensity laser physics and quantum optics.  He received his PhD from BYU in 2001 and then worked at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the Quantum Optics metrology group where he helped develop standards for calibrating single-photon detectors for use in quantum cryptography systems. He is the father of six children.

Research Interests:

  • Optical pulse propagation: energy exchange and superluminal/subluminal behaviors
  • Single-photon source and detector characterization
  • High intensity laser interactions: harmonics and single electron radiation
