Ivan P. Kaminow retired from Bell Labs in 1996 after a 42-year career. He
conducted seminal studies on electrooptic modulators and materials, Raman scatter-
ing in ferroelectrics, integrated optics, semiconductor lasers (DBR, ridge-waveguide
InGaAsP, and multi-frequency), birefringent optical fibers, and WDM networks.
Later, he led research on WDM components (EDFAs, AWGs, and fiber Fabry-Perot
Filters), and on WDM local and wide area networks. He is a member of the National
Academy of Engineering ...
