Akira Shirakawa mainly investigates Optics, Laser, Optoelectronics, Ceramic and Slope efficiency. Akira Shirakawa has included themes like Diode and Thermal conductivity in his Laser study. His work deals with themes such as Optical parametric amplifier and Continuous wave, which intersect with Optoelectronics.

His research integrates issues of High power lasers, Laser beam quality, Laser beams, Sesquioxide and Nanocrystalline material in his study of Ceramic. His study in Slope efficiency is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Laser diode, Photonic crystal and Amplified spontaneous emission. Akira Shirakawa interconnects Fiber and Fiber laser in the investigation of issues within Amplified spontaneous emission.

His most cited work include:

  • Sub-5-fs visible pulse generation by pulse-front-matched noncollinear optical parametric amplification (278 citations)
  • Coherent addition of fiber lasers by use of a fiber coupler. (221 citations)
  • Pulse-front-matched optical parametric amplification for sub-10-fs pulse generation tunable in the visible and near infrared (215 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Optics, Laser, Optoelectronics, Fiber laser and Ceramic are his primary areas of study. All of his Optics and Photonic-crystal fiber, Polarization-maintaining optical fiber, Laser power scaling, Dispersion-shifted fiber and Ytterbium investigations are sub-components of the entire Optics study. His Laser study incorporates themes from Diode and Doping.
