OSA selects UNLOC researcher to chair technical group
16 January, 2017
The Optical Society (OSA) Technical Group on Optics in Digital Systems has appointed UNLOC Senior Research Fellow Tianhua Xu as their new Chair.
As Chair, Dr Xu will curate activities and initiatives and lead the group to engage colleagues from industry and academia.
This group focuses on utilization of optical and optoelectronic devices and systems for digital data storage, processing, interconnection and networking. The group focuses both on the physical representation of information and on coding and communication protocols for effective utilization of photonic systems. Emerging areas within this group include optical interconnections and optical clock distribution for high performance computing, nanomaterials and microresonators for spatio-spectral data storage and coding schemes for all-optical communications.
The Optics in Digital Systems Technical Group falls within the Information Acquisition, Processing and Display Division of the OSA technical communities.
OSA technical communities bring together members around the globe to help foster lasting, valuable connections.
The Optics in Digital Systems group will next meet at the IS&T International Symposium on Electronic Imaging in California on 29 January 2017.
