In this Information Age

computers and mobile phones are important carriers of data transmission and many scientists work hard to speed up that process. Professor Peter Delfyett of the University of Central Florida has done just that. A member of the US National Academy of Engineering

he developed the world's fastest and most powerful mode-locked semiconductor laser. I have known Professor Delfyett since 2011

when he took part in the CIOMP-OSA International Summer Session. His sincere and friendly attitude

humorous and optimistic nature and excellent academic style left a deep impression. Driven by curiosity

human beings are constantly exploring the unknown

and asking questions. Einstein once suggested

defining what the problem is can be more important than solving it. And this is what Professor Delfyett has been advocating: pursue the ultimate academic goal

ask questions

believe in yourself and never give up. In addition

he has been striving to integrate industry and scientific research

so that scientific research results can truly benefit mankind. And now

please follow Light People to the latest cutting-edge progress in optics.
