ABSTRACT

Abstract

The lecture presents an introductory survey on microwave and optical research at Budapest University. Then some details of the research results will be shown mainly in the interdisciplinary field where both microwave and optical processes are involved. Optical-microwave mixing, optical control of microwave devices, optical signal processing of microwave analog and digital signals, noise suppression and linearization techniques in the optical and microwave domain, high frequency and high speed modulation and demodulation of optical beams, etc. are the topics to be presented in the lecture.

Biography

Tibor Berceli was born in Budapest, Hungary. He received the Dipl. Ing. degree in electrical engineering at the Technical University of Budapest in 1951. He received the Ph.D. degree in 1955, and the Doctor of Technical Science degree in 1965 from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Dr. Berceli joined the TKI, Research Institute for Telecommunications, Budapest in 1951. Since 1970 Dr. Berceli is Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Budapest. He is the author or co-author of about 160 papers and 6 books published in English. He presented 95 papers at international conferences. He received 26 patents for his inventions. He was visiting professor at Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, USA in 1964, University College London, England in 1986, Drexel University, USA in 1988-89, Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg, Germany in 1991, Osaka University, Japan in 1992, University of Grenoble, France in 1994 and Helsinki University of Technology in 2001. Professor Berceli is Fellow of IEEE. He was Chairman of the Organizing Committee for URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Wave Theory in 1986, Conference Chairman of 20th European Microwave Conference in 1990, and Conference Co-Chairman of the 10th Microcoll in 1999.

Prof. Berceli made significant contributions in the field of microwave photonics and nonlinear microwave circuits. His activity was concentrated on the nonlinear interaction processes.
