Charles K. Kao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Charles Kuen Kao, Ph.D (高錕; pinyin: Gāo Kūn; born November 4, 1933) is a pioneer in the use of fiber optics in telecommunications. He was born in Shanghai in 1933, graduated in Electrical Engineering from the University of London in 1957, and then worked as an engineer for Standard Telephones and Cables (STC) and their research centre Standard Telecommunications Laboratories in Harlow, England (now Nortel Networks). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Charles_K._Kao   (212 words)

Asiaweek.com Asian of the Century Charles K. Kao 12/10/99 But Kao argued that signal degradation was due to impurities in fibers, not the glass itself. But it was Shanghai-born Kao, 66, now known as "the father of fiber optics," who demonstrated how the impossible could happen. All intersect at a laboratory in London where in 1963, a 30-year-old Kao began experiments that culminated in the proof of a visionary concept - that strands of glass fibers thinner than human hair and cheaper to produce than fishing line can transmit near-limitless amounts of digitized data on pulses of laser light. www.asiaweek.com /asiaweek/features/aoc/aoc.kao.html   (953 words)

Dr. Charles Kuen Kao Kao is one of the most significant contributors to the field of fiber optic communications. Kao later went on to help design some devices for use in optical military and civil communications. His 1966 paper on the theory and practice of the use of optical fiber for communications applications was groundbreaking in its field. www.marconifoundation.org /pages/fellows/Fellows_details/kao.htm   (116 words)

Honorary doctorate for father of fibre optics: News from University Of Greenwich Prof Kao's theoretical and practical research in the 1960s produced 29 patented discoveries and contributed significantly to the development and subsequent commercialisation of optical-fibre communication components and systems that made the telecommunications revolution possible. Prof Kao has received awards from institutions around the world and was awarded a CBE in 1993 in recognition of his work. Prof Kao began experimenting in London in 1963, culminating in the proof that strands of glass fibres can transmit near limitless amounts of digitised data on pulses of laser light. www.electronicstalk.com /news/usi/usi101.html   (450 words)

NAEW-4NHMQR?OpenDocument WASHINGTON - The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) announced that three engineers - Charles K. Kao, Robert D. Maurer, and John B. MacChesney - are the recipients of the 1999 Charles Stark Draper Prize for their work in developing fiber optic technology, a watershed event in the global telecommunications and information technology revolution. Kao, who was working at ITT's Standard Telecommunications Laboratories in the 1960s, theorized about how to use light for communication instead of bulky copper wire and was the first to publicly propose the possibility of a practical application for fiber optic telecommunication. The Charles Stark Draper Prize, endowed by Draper Laboratory, Cambridge, Mass., was established in 1988 to recognize individuals whose outstanding engineering achievements have contributed to the well-being and freedom of humanity. www.nae.edu /NAE/naehome.nsf/SubpagePrintView/NAEW-4NHMQR?OpenDocument   (873 words)

Firewall.cx - The World's First Free Cisco Lab ! In 1966 Charles Kao and George Hockham proposed the transmission of information over glass fibre and realised that to make it a practical proposition, much lower losses in the cables were essential. This was the driving force behind the developments to improve the optical losses in fibre manufacturing and today optical losses are significantly lower than the original target set by Charles Kao and George Hockham. In the 1950's more research and development into the transmission of visible images through optical fibres led to some success in the medical world where it was being used in remote illumination and viewing instruments. www.firewall.cx /cabling_fibre.php   (907 words)

Lasers and Fiber Optics History Part 4 - Optical Fiber - Greatest Engineering Achievements of the Twentieth Century Fortunately for the future of fiber optics, a young Shanghai-born electrical engineer named Charles Kao was convinced that glass could do much better. Working at Standard Telecommunications Laboratories in England, Kao collected and analyzed samples from glassmakers and concluded that the energy loss was mainly due to impurities such as water and minerals, not the basic glass ingredient of silica itself. The challenges of manufacturing such stuff were formidable, but in 1970 a team at Corning Glass Works succeeded in creating a fiber hundreds of yards long that performed just as Kao and Hockham had foreseen. www.greatachievements.org /?id=3713   (572 words)

Introduction Optical fibre was first proposed as a transmission medium by Charles Kao and George Hockham, at Nortel's Harlow laboratories in 1966. Despite much scepticism, Kao and his colleagues persisted in their efforts, and in 1977 the world's first fibre-based trunk transmission system was installed between Hitchin and Stevenage in the UK, a distance of 9km.
