Leslie Rusch
Leslie Ann Rusch (born 1958) is an American and Canadian electrical engineer whose research interests include optical communication, edge computing, spread spectrum techniques, flexible antenna arrays, and wireless brain implants. She is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the Université Laval in Quebec City, where she holds a tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Communications Systems Enabling the Cloud and the NSERC/Huawei Industrial Research Chair in Fibre Optic Communications Systems. Education Rusch is a graduate of Schaumburg High School in Illinois. She majored in electrical engineering at the California Institute of Technology, graduating in 1980. After working for the US Department of Defense from 1980 to 1990, she returned to graduate study at Princeton University, where she earned a master's degree in 1992 and completed her PhD in 1994. Her dissertation, ''Interference Suppression in Spread Spectrum Code Division Multiple Access'', was supervised by Vince ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Optical Communication
Optical communication, also known as optical telecommunication, is communication at a distance using light to carry information. It can be performed visually or by using electronic devices. The earliest basic forms of optical communication date back several millennia, while the earliest electrical device created to do so was the photophone, invented in 1880. An optical communication system uses a transmitter, which encodes a message into an optical signal, a channel, which carries the signal to its destination, and a receiver, which reproduces the message from the received optical signal. When electronic equipment is not employed the 'receiver' is a person visually observing and interpreting a signal, which may be either simple (such as the presence of a beacon fire) or complex (such as lights using color codes or flashed in a Morse code sequence). Modern communication relies on optical networking systems using optical fiber, optical amplifiers, lasers, switches, rout ...
