The18th DOJO Lecture
VENUE: DOJO, Tokyo International Exchange Center
DATE: November 15, 2015
LECTURE TITLE: “Laser and Photonics World – In the International Year of Light-”
We had with us a special guest, a professor emeritus Kenichi IGA, a former President of Tokyo Tech. Regarded as the "father of surface emitting semiconductor lasers" (VCSELs), Kenichi Iga's work has significantly impacted high-speed communications. On the lecture, he talked the students on a range of subjects including physics and application of light and sound in the view of “WAVE.” Before ending the lecture, the professor played his contrabass like a pro, and the performance astonished all the students.
