Professor Chinlon Lin
After receiving his Ph.D. from the Univ. of California, Berkeley, he joined AT&T Bell Labs¨ Laser Sciences Research Department, Communication Sciences Research Division, Holmdel, NJ, in 1974. At Bell Labs, his research included studies of nonlinear optics in fibers, self-phase-modulation, tunable infrared fiber Raman lasers, fiber Raman amplifiers and four-wave-mixing for optical frequency conversion, as well as high-speed semiconductor laser dynamic modulation studies and high-bit-rate fiber transmission system technologies. He originated and demonstrated the first idea of both dispersion-shifted fibers and dispersion-compensating fibers that formed the bases of today¨s long-haul high-speed fiber transmission systems. In 1984 he was on leave from Bell Labs as a Visiting Guest Professor at the Tech. Univ. of Denmark¨s Center for Broadband Communications (now COM Center). He joined Bellcore in 1986 where he was Director of Broadband Lightwave Systems Research. He led a group working on FTTH, FTTC, HFC systems, DWDM tunable filters and EDFAs for high-capacity digital and analog video systems, an experimental Bellcore Research Network, lightwave systems for multi-channel hybrid AM/QAM-digital video distribution for HFC networks, and Hybrid DWDM systems for FTTH/FTTC/HFC networks. He joined Tyco Submarine Sys. R & D Labs (formerly AT&T Submarine Systems) in September 1997, to work on DWDM global long-haul undersea fiber networks. In May 2000 he founded Jedai Broadband Networks, a startup to work on Fiber-to-the Business high-speed access solutions for cable TV industry.
He has over 140 papers and conference presentations, several invited book chapters and 9 patents. He was an Assoc. Editor for IEEE Journal of Lightwave Technology and IEEE Photonics Technology Letters and was on the technical program committees for OFC, Optical Amplifier Topical Meeting, Topical Meeting on Optical Networking and NFOEC. He has been a Guest Professor of National Chiao Tung University (Hsinchu, Taiwan) and Tsinghwa University (Beijing). He also served as an Advisor to ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute), Hsinchu, Taiwan and CHT-TL (Telecom Labs of Chung-Hwa Telecom), Taiwan. He is a Fellow of both IEEE and OSA.

Professor Paras N. Prasad
Dr. Paras N. Prasad is a Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, Physics, Medicineand Electrical Engineering, the highest rank in the New York State universitysystem. He holds the Samuel P. Capen Chair at the University at Buffalo and is the Executive Director of UB¨s multidisciplinary Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics. Dr. Prasad conducts pioneering research in the development and application of two-photon technology for biophotonics and 3-D microfabrication as well as in the development and application of nanotechnology for opticallytrackable therapies designed for specific targeted sites in the human body. With 10 patents to his credit, he also is the author of "Biophotonics" (John Wiley & Sons, 2003) and "Nanophotonics" (John Wiley & Sons, 2004), the first two monographs to comprehensively address these fields. He has published over 500 scientific papers, co-edited six books, and co-authored a monograph (with D.J. Williams), "Introduction to Nonlinear Optical Effects in Molecules and Polymers."

Professor Sune Svanberg
Sune Svanberg is head of the Atomic Physics Division, Lund University, and director of the Lund Laser Centre, Sweden. He got his PhD in optical resonance spectroscopy in 1972 from Goteborg University, Sweden, where he stayed on till 1980, when he moved to Lund University. He spent research periods at the Technical University Berlin, Columbia University, Stanford University and MIT. His research field is basic and applied laser spectroscopy, presently with the emphasis on environmental and medical applications. He has well over 500 scientific papers, several patents and helped in the formation of several spin-off companies. He is a member of several academies including the Royal Academy of Sciences, Stockholm, where he for 10 years served on the Nobel Committee for Physics. He has many prizes and award including the Quantum Electronics Award of the EPS, the Azko-Nobel Science Award, the Willis E. Lamb Medal and the Celsius Medal. He is honorary doctor or professor at several universities including Jilin University, Harbin Institute of Technology and Zhejiang University. He is also Einstein Professor with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He served on the Board of Directors of the Optical Society of America, and is presently on the Board of the Swedish Research Council.

Doctor Tingye Li 
Tingye Li retired from AT&T in 1998 after a 41-year research career at Bell Labs and AT&T Labs, working in the fields of microwaves, millimeter waves, lasers, and lightwave communications. He is presently a consultant in lightwave technologies and systems. His early work on laser resonator modes is fundamental to the theory and practice of lasers. Since the late 1960s, he and his groups have been engaged in pioneering research on lightwave technologies and systems, and in the 1990s, led the seminal work on WDM transmission systems and networks, which revolutionized lightwave communications.
Li holds a PhD degree from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. He is a fellow of OSA, IEEE, IEC, and AAAS, and is a member of NAE, CAE and Academia Sinica. He received the 1975 IEEE W. R. G. Baker Prize, the 1979 IEEE David Sarnoff Award, the 1995 OSA/IEEE John Tyndall Award, the 1997 OSA Frederic Ives Medal/Jarus Quinn Endowment, the 1997 AT&T Science and Technology Medal, and the 2004 IEEE Photonics Award. He has been named an honorary professor at many universities in China, and was President of OSA in 1995.
