Prabhav Gaur — Software Engineer
I’m an Electrical Engineer with a deep specialization in photonics, currently designing and testing cutting-edge silicon photonics-based laser systems at Axalume. My work bridges the gap between device physics and scalable photonic integration, focusing on high-performance, manufacturable laser solutions for next-generation optical communication and computing. With a strong foundation from UC San Diego, I’ve developed a hands-on approach to system-level design, wafer-level testing, and performance optimization of integrated photonic circuits. I thrive at the intersection of innovation and precision, leveraging my skills in laser characterization, thermal tuning, high-speed modulation, and PIC testing to push the boundaries of what’s possible in optical hardware.
