<font class="ContentPasted1" style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41);"><b class="ContentPasted1">Abstract:</b> Sensing modalities and instrumentation for target detection and ranging applications have received tremendous attention over the past decade. This has been
driven in no small part by the insatiable demand for cheaper, more compact and significantly improved Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), which is essential for autonomous navigation. The detection of objects in the presence of significant background noise
is a problem of fundamental interest in sensing. In this talk, I aim to demonstrate theoretically and experimentally how one can exploit non-classical light generated in monolithic semiconductor light sources in conjunction with non-local effects to enhance
the performance of optical target detection and model LiDAR system.</font></div>

and Computer Engineering of the University of Toronto with a mixed experience in academic as well as industrial settings. He received both his MSc (1995) and PhD (1999) degrees from the University of Glasgow, Scotland, in the field of photonics. Between 2000
and 2004 he joined Agilent Technologies, where he was involved in developing different photonic devices ranging from high-reliability submarine-class lasers, to un-cooled single mode lasers, to integrated photonic circuits. Prof. Helmy’s research interests
include quantum/non-linear integrated photonic devices/circuits and nano-photonic devices/circuits using hybrid metallic architectures. The application domains, where his group contributes, include optical signal processing, communications and sensing.</span><br>
