Well, that dream has been realized, thanks to Photonics.com -- the world's leading site on the subject, from Laurin Publishing, USA.
Announcing:Pradeep's Thoughts -- Photonics in Asia! (www.photonics.com) How many of you are aware that some of the best work done in photonics in Asia is carried out in India? Are you aware that one of the best institutes in the country is located down south -- in Cochin -- known as the International School of Photonics at Cochin University of Science and Technology.
It is in this very institute that the Photonics Society of India (PSI) was founded in 2000, which also administers the society. The PSI is a professional organization of people, institutions and companies working with photonics in India.
The PSI has some very distinguished gentlemen at the helm. Professor P. Radhakrishnan, International School of Photonics, is its president. He is assisted by Dr. Reji Philip, vice president, and associate professor, Optics Group, Raman Research Institute, Bangalore. Professor V. P. N. Nampoori, International School of Photonics, is general secretary.
In fact, it was a pleasure to recently visit the famous Raman Research Institute (RRI) in Bangalore, where I had the good fortune of interacting with some of the best and renowned researchers that India has on this subject.
The various kinds of equipment the RRI has at the labs is mind boggling! Makes you wonder -- these folks are really bright and highly talented to be doing such exemplary work.
Enough said! May I take this opportunity to thank Laurin Publishing for helping me realize another dream. I hope you all enjoy my Photonics Blog! Thanks for your support, as always, dear friends.
