Kyle Rogers (Fed)

Kyle Rogers received the B.S. degree in mechanical engineering in 2016, and the M.S. degree also in mechanical engineering in 2023 from the University of Colorado, Boulder. He began his research at the National Institute for Standards and Technology in 2015, where he has focused his efforts on Radiation Pressure and other radiometry techniques. He has been heavily involved in the research and development of the bulk Radiation Pressure Power Meter (RPPM), which has allowed for focused efforts in LabVIEW development, sensor design, and fabrication. He currently is working on future generations of the sensor, which has allowed for expanded work with high power applications.

Kyle is also the Calibration Leader for multiple calibration services at NIST Boulder. These services include fiber optic power meters, both absolute measurements, linearity measurements, and spectral responsivity measurements, as well as high-power calibrations in the kilowatt regime. This work has allowed Kyle to expand his expertise in both fiber optics and high-power laser metrology, where he hopes to continue development of measurement techniques and modern measurement systems for the future of NIST.
