Dr. Matthew Dabney

Dr. Matthew Dabney

Dr. Matthew Dabney is a Principal Laser Engineer at Edmund Optics. He has over 30 years of experience researching how lasers interact with materials. He also fabricated and qualified most of the optics on the Hubble Telescope. Matthew joined Edmund Optics in 2019 and has established a laser lab to research the laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) of various materials. He has published over 30 scientific papers on topics such as pulsed laser deposition of novel transparent conducting oxides, laser nucleation and growth of silicon, the safe use of Class 4 lasers in industrial settings, and how to develop a robust LIDT testbed. Matthew holds master's and PhD degrees in materials science from Colorado School of Mines.
