报告人简介：
Professor Lin is semi-retired after 40+ years of research and teaching in the field of laser photonics technologies and broadband optical fiber communications systems. He now resides in Holmdel, New Jersey, USA, where he was with AT&T Bell Labs and Bellcore for many years. He received his BSEE from National Taiwan University in 1967, and Ph. D. from University of California, Berkeley in 1973. From 2003 to 2007 he was with Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) as Chair Professor of Photonics and Director of Center for Advanced Research in Photonics, and as a Professor of both the Electronic Engineering and Information Engineering departments. From April 2008 to April 2010 he was a Nanyang (Visiting Chair) Professor at the School of EEE and also served as Director of Photonics Research Center, at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. In 2011, from August to October, he was a Visiting Professor at KTH (Royal Institute of Technology), at Kista, Stockholm, Sweden. In 2012, from April to July 2012, he was a Visiting Professor at Technical University of Berlin, Germany.
Professor Lin has over the years published extensively in laser photonics and optical fiber communications and DWDM systems for broadband optical access and FTTH. He has edited 2 books. He has been an Associate Editor for IEEE/OSA JLT, and PTL. He also served as Topical Advisor for OSA journals. Prof. Lin has also served on various Technical Program Committees for international conferences such as OFC, ECOC, and OECC. Prof. Lin is a Life Fellow of IEEE’s Photonics Society and Fellow of the Optical Society of America. He is also a Fellow of the Photonics Society of Chinese Americans (USA) and served as its President in 1994.
报告摘要：
Over the last 50+ years since the invention of lasers, worldwide R and D activities in laser photonics and optoelectronics devices as well as various lightwave systems technologies have successfully developed very-high-capacity optical fiber communications networks for global broadband information infrastructures. Today broadband optical and wireless access and FTTH are becoming a reality in many regions of the world. This has started the great broadband transformation of the modern societies. Broadband high-speed access to Global Internet has now changed the world beyond expectations. Photonics R and D in various areas have also triggered many critical changes in the fields outside the information and communications technologies (ICT) and have significant impacts on the modern science and technology in areas well beyond the modern information societies. This talk will present a high-level view and a historical perspective on the R and D efforts in both Photonics and Microelectronics over the last 50 years leading to this broadband transformation. Potential impact of new emerging Photonics R and D efforts worldwide in the 21st century will also be discussed.
