Optical and Wireless Technologies: Proceedings of OWT 2018 (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering, 546)

This volume presents selected papers from the 2nd International Conference on Optical and Wireless Technologies, conducted from 10th to 11th February, 2018. It focuses on extending the limits of currently used systems encompassing optical and wireless domains, and explores novel research on wireless and optical techniques and systems, describing practical implementation activities, results and issues. The book will serve as a valuable reference resource for academics and researchers across the globe.

Prof. Vijay Janyani obtained his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) from Malaviya Regional Engineering College, Jaipur (now MNIT, Jaipur) and his PhD from the George Green Institute for Electromagnetics Research in Nottingham (U.K.). He has received various awards and honours, such as the University of Nottingham’s Derrick Kirk Prize, the Commonwealth Scholarship UK, and the All India Council for Technical Education Career Award. He has completed various national and international government-funded research projects, and was a member of the visiting faculty at the AIT Bangkok and UoTEM Tunisia. His current research interests include optical communication, optoelectronics and photonics, numerical modelling, nonlinear optics, radio frequency (RF) and microwaves, optical networks, and solar energy.
