Aegis Semiconductor Executive to Speak on Tunable Thin Films at OFC 2003.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers OFC 2003 WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 20, 2003 Aegis Semiconductor, an emerging leader in dynamic optical components and subsystems, today announced that Dr. Lawrence Domash, Vice President of Research and Development, will address attendees on tunable thin film technology at the Optical Fiber Communications (OFC) Conference being held next week, March 24 - 27, 2003 at the Georgia World Congress Center The Georgia World Congress Center or GWCC is the major convention center in Atlanta. It is the fourth-largest convention center in the United States at 1.4 million ft2 (130,000 m2) and hosts more than a million visitors each year. in Atlanta, Georgia. Aegis will also be exhibiting at the show in Booth # 2856. Dr. Domash will speak on Thursday, March 27, 2003 at 11:45am (EST EST electroshock therapy. EST abbr. electroshock therapy ) in a session entitled, "Thin Film Filters and Optical Material Characterization." The session will take place in Room B313B-B314 in the Congress Center. Dr. Domash will describe, for the first time at OFC, a novel family of tunable thin film filters with no moving parts. Recent data will be presented for two principal applications, very compact wavelength tunable filters, and fixed wavelength, switchable add/drop filters. Dr. Domash is responsible for long-range development of the Aegis technology platform. He brings to Aegis more than 20 years of experience in laser physics, optical fibers and waveguides, high resolution interferometry, photopolymer A photopolymer is a polymer which is cured by exposure to light, often in the ultraviolet spectrum. These polymers are useful in dentistry for fillings and in rapid prototyping in the stereolithography and PolyJet processes. holography and fiber optic switching. Domash is a member of the Optical Society of America The Optical Society of America (OSA) is a scientific society dedicated to advancing the study of light—optics and photonics—in theory and application, by means of worldwide research, scientific publishing, conferences and exhibitions, partnership with industry, and the , SPIE SPIE International Society for Optical Engineering SPIE Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers SPIE Source Path Isolation Engine SPIE Special Purpose Insertion Extraction SPIE Software Process Improvement Experimentation SPIE Standard Protocols in Effect , and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. LEOS. Domash holds a Ph.D. in Physics from Princeton University and a B.S. in Physics from University of Chicago.
