Photonics for National Defense
IEEE North Jersey Section AP/MTT Jt. Chapter, Photonics, WIE Co-Sponsors the TALK: "Photonics for National Defense" at the RCA Technical Symposium 2024
Photonics is the key technology that is enabling the current 4th industrial revolution. It plays a vital role in our everyday life and everywhere around us. Photonics is revolutionizing defense technologies to protect national assets. It allows warfighters to remain informed about their situational awareness, aiming, firing, range measurements, and safety during operations through optical sensors, reliable and secure communication, and electronic warfare (EW). Photonics provides highly accurate and reliable ways to detect and neutralize threats. This talk will give a broad overview of some photonics applications specific to defense to create an awareness of the importance of photonics.

Dr. Naresh Chand
Photonics for National Defense
Biography:
Dr. Naresh Chand represents the IEEE Photonics Society, APS-MTT, and RAS in multiple leadership capacities. In 2019, he retired from the US R&D Center of Huawei Technologies in NJ, where he has been working on developing low-cost advanced technologies for Ultra-Broadband Optical Access Networks since 2011. Before this, he worked for BAE Systems (2003-11), Agere Systems and AT&T/Lucent Bell Laboratories (1986-2003), and Dept of Electronics, Government of India (1974-79). His areas of research include optical communication systems, fiber-to-the-home, RF over fiber, non-hermetic 1300-1500 nm InP lasers, reliable high power 980 nm InGaAs/GaAs pump lasers, VCSELs, HBTs, HEMTs, QWIPs, GaAs/Si and AlGaAs/GaAs MBE. He has several firsts and world records to his credit. He has authored > 180 research papers and 15 patents (issued). He did his M.Sc. (Tech) Electronics in 1974 from BITS, Pilani, with a Gold Medal. On a British Commonwealth Scholarship, he did his M. Eng. (1980) and Ph.D. (1983) in EE from the University of Sheffield, UK. He also did 2 years of post-doctoral research at the University of Illinois, Urbana, IL. From 1974 to 1979, In the Dept. of Electronics, Govt. of India, he was involved with the development of the Electronic Component industry in India.
Dr. Naresh Chand is a Life Fellow of IEEE.
