Fiber Lasers

Dr. Liang Dong is currently an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Clemson University. Prof. Dong has nearly 30 years of experience in research and development in photonics and optical fibers. He has published close to 300 journal and conference papers and holds over 20 granted patents. He currently serves as an associate editor for IEEE Quantum Electronics and Optica and program chair for OSA topical meeting on Specialty Optical Fibers. Bryce Samson joined TeraDiode in January 2015 as a director of Business Development, bringing more than 20 years’ experience in the field of fiber lasers. He holds a Ph.D. in semiconductor physics from Essex University, UK, has published over 100 refereed scientific and conference papers, and has more than 15 patents in the field. He was chairman of the OSA Specialty Optical Fiber Conference, serves on the technical committee for OSA meetings such as CLEO and ASSL, and was elected a member of the Connecticut Academy of Science in 2013.
