Sergey I. Kablukov was born in Krasnoyarsk region, Russia, in 1972. He received the M.Sc. degree in physics from the Novosibirsk State University, Novosibirsk, Russia, in 1994, the Ph.D. (1997) and D.Sc. (2014) degrees in physics and mathematics from the Institute of Automation and Electrometry SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia. Since 2018, he has been the head of Optical Sensing Systems Laboratory at the Institute. His main scientific achievements deal with research and development of broadly tunable CW fiber lasers operating in IR and visible ranges (with intra-cavity frequency doubling), as well as other nonlinear conversion and tuning techniques, such as parametric conversion, self-sweeping of fiber laser optical frequency, and various applications of developed devices. Recent developments also include different configurations of random fiber Raman lasers. He is the professor of Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).
