received his MSc in physics from Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India, in 1975 ; his PhD from Calcutta University, Kolkata, India, in 1979; and his DPhil from the University of Oxford, Oxford, UK, in 1983. He was also postdoctoral research fellow of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 at the Clarendon Laboratory, University of Oxford, from 1983 to 1985. He was a fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford. He was atutor and lab instructor at Clarendon Laboratory. He was also a visiting fel-low with the Linkoping University, Linkoping, Sweden; Max Planck Instituteat Stuttgart, Germany. He joined Jadavpur University, Kolkata, in 1987 as areader in electronics and telecommunication engineering. Subsequently, he became a professor and the head of the Department of Physics, and dean of Faculty of Science Bengal Engineering Science University (BESU) during 1996–1999. Later he once again joined Jadavpur University ETCE Department as a professor. He has served as a visiting professor in many universities such as the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan and Hong Kong University, Hong Kong. Since 1999, he has been a professor with the Department of Electronics.

Optical Switching: Device Technology and Applications in Networks pdf by Chandan Kumar Sarkar

Optical Switching: Device Technology and Applications in Networks delivers an accessible exploration of the evolution of optical networks with clear explanations of the current state-of-the-art in the field and modern challenges in the development of Internet-of-Things devices. A variety of optical switches—including MEMS-based, magneto, photonic, and SOA-based—are discussed, as is the application of optical switches in networks.
The book is written in a tutorial style, easily understood by both undergraduate and graduate students. It describes the fundamentals and recent developments in optical switch networks and examines the architectural and design challenges faced by those who design and construct emerging optical switch networks, as well as how to overcome those challenges. The book offers ways to assess and analyze systems and applications, comparing a variety of approaches available to the reader. It also provides:
A thorough introduction to switch characterization, including optical, electro optical, thermo optical, magneto optical, and acoustic-optic switches
Comprehensive explorations of MEMS-based, SOA-based, liquid crystal, photonic crystal, and optical electrical optical (OEO) switches
Practical discussions of quantum optical switches, as well as nonlinear optical switches
In-depth examinations of the application of optical switches in networks, including switch fabric control and optical switching for high-performance computing
Perfect for researchers and professionals in the fields of telecommunications, Internet of Things, and optoelectronics, Optical Switching: Device Technology and Applications in Networks will also earn a place in the libraries of advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying optical networks, optical communications, and sensor applications.
