Fiber-optic communication systems form the backbone of the worldwide telecommunication networks, providing for more than 99% of the global data traffic. The upcoming deployment of 5/6G networks, online services like 4k/8k HDTV, and the development of the Internet of Things concept, connecting billions of active …
The success of a high-tech startup will depend very strongly on the strength of its team. This is a self-evident truth. It is true for all companies, of any size, but it is particularly true for smaller organizations that are in the early stages of …
In this edition, I would, first of all, like to welcome Amol Delmade, who is taking over the “Photonics Worldwide – This is my Lab” column from now onwards. I would like to thank all the researchers who have contributed to this column so far. …
Quantum wells have become an indispensable part of modern laser design. The incorporation of quantum wells in a semiconductor laser’s active region has afforded the laser designer the ability to precisely tune the energies of radiative transitions thus yielding access to lasing wavelengths not naturally …
The IEEE Photonics Society Summer Topicals Meeting Series 2022 (IEE SUM 2022) which was held on the 11th to 13th of July 2022 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico was one for the books! I was extremely honored to have received the IEEE Women in Photonics …
Time flies and we are almost into the Fall of 2022. It is the time to return to school for many students and professors, with the return of in-person classes for most.
Two Society conferences are approaching. The first is IEEE Research and Applications of Photonics …
On May 16, 2022, the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Faculty of Information and Communication Technology (FICT), ISBAT University, Kampala, organized a hands-on experiment workshop on Optical Fiber Technology to Celebrate International Day of Light (IDL-22). Arranged in association with Liquid Intelligent Technologies from …
The IEEE Photonics Society Chapter hosted Try Engineering and STEM Outreach Programs at VISAT Engineering College, Ernakulam, Kerala, India, on July 23, 2022.
