IVAN P KAMINOW Ivan Kaminow retired from Bell Labs in 1996 after a 42-year career. He did seminal studies on electrooptic modulators and materials, Raman scattering in ferroelectrics, integrated optics, semiconductor lasers, birefringent optical fibers, and WDM lightwave networks. Later, as Head of the Photonic Networks and Components Department, he led research on WDM components (including erbium-doped fiber amplifiers and arrayed waveguide grating routers), and on WDM local and wide area networks. Earlier (1952-1954), he did research on microwave antenna arrays at Hughes Aircraft Company.

After retiring from Bell Labs, he served as 1996 IEEE Congressional Fellow in the House Science Committee and Library of Congress. He also established Kaminow Lightwave Technology to provide consulting services to technology companies and to law firms. In 1999, he served as Senior Science Advisor to the Optical Society of America. Currently, he is Adjunct Professor at University of California, Berkeley.

He received degrees from Union College (BSEE), UCLA (MSE) and Harvard (AM, Ph.D). He has been Visiting Professor at Princeton, Berkeley, Columbia, University of Tokyo, and Kwangju University (Korea).

He has written or co-edited 5 books, the most recent being “Optical Fiber Telecommunications IV A&B (2002).�

Kaminow is a Life Fellow of IEEE, and Fellow of APS and OSA. He is the recipient of the Bell Labs Distinguished MTS Award, IEEE Quantum Electronics Award, OSA Townes Award, IEEE/LEOS/OSA Tyndall Award and IEEE Third Millennium Medal. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, Diplomate of the American Board of Laser Surgery, and Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine.
