Professor Lars Thylén

Lars Thylén received the M. Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering and the Ph. D. degree in Applied Physics in 1972 and 1982, respectively, both from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm. In 1982 he joined Ericsson, heading a group doing research in the area of integrated photonics in lithium niobate and semiconductors and its applications to optical communications and switching. Since 1992, he is a professor at the department of Microelectronics and Information Technology, KTH, heading the Laboratory of Photonics and Microwave Engineering. . From 1999 to 2002 he was program director of the Swedish Photonics Research program, supported by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research, and comprising KTH and Chalmers University photonics research. Since 2003 he is director of the Strategic Research Center in Photonics at KTH, funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research. Prof Thylen was active in the inception and planning of the Kista Photonics Research Center, implementing a coordinated photonics research effort in the Stockholm area.

He is a co-founder of Optillion AB, a startup in the area of 10 Gb/s+ Ethernet transceivers, and a co-founder and board member of PhoXtal Communications AB, a photonic crystal company.

Prof Thylén has authored or co-authored more than 100 journal papers and conference contributions as well as a book chapter and has been granted 20 patents. He is general cochair and technical program committee chair of the upcoming ECOC 2004 in Stockholm.
