ABSTRACT | As traditional electronic systems are beginning to hit a wall in terms of interconnect speed and performance, it is believed that optics presents a blue sky with immense potential for technology innovations and widespread adoption in the areas of communication, security, energy, sensing, computing, etc in the not-too-distant future. Optical fiber systems have found a plethora of promising and potential applications in significant fields due to their low loss and wide bandwidth. Following these, we are developing fiber optic sensors that may survive in harsh environments such as high radiation field and high temperature and provide useful information regarding temperature, pressure, and strain.
SPEAKER BIO | Sohel Rana is a graduate student at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boise State University. He received his B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET), Bangladesh in 2014. His research topic was on low loss terahertz (THz) wave guidance. He then attended at Bangladesh University and served as a lecturer in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department in 2015.
At Boise State, Rana is working on fiber optic sensors under the supervision of Dr. Harish Subbaraman and Dr. Nirmala Kandadai. He is the recipient of the prestigious Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Graduate Fellowship and is currently conducting research at INL. His research interest includes fiber optic sensors, terahertz waveguiding, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors, etc. He is an active member of IEEE, OSA (Optical Society of America), and ANS (American Nuclear Society).
