Fibers!

• Larry has worked in fiber optics for decades…• But he started long, long ago in acoustic fibers…

“Acoustic Cladded Fiber Delay Lines,” G.D. Boyd, L.A. Coldren, and R.N. Thurston

A Long and Illustrious Career…

Amplifiers

•Optical amplifiers part of a key patent on Tunable lasers

•But, Larry started on amplifiers long, long ago…• Not at 200 THz, but at 200 MHz…
