Amnon Yariv, Martin and Eileen Summerfield Professor of Applied Physics and Professor of Electrical Engineering, has received one of the highest honors bestowed by the United States government on scientists, and engineers. He is a recipient of the National Medal of Science. Professor Yariv's research group has pioneered the field of optoelectronics. Many innovations such as distributed Feedback (DFB) Semiconductor Lasers, Integrated Optoelectronic Circuits, Optical Phase Conjugation, External Cavity Tunable Semiconductor Lasers, Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors (QWIP's), and all-fiber add/drop filters have found their beginnings in his research group. Currently, his group’s research aims at developing the new technologies that will be mandated by the seemingly endless appetite for optical bandwidth. Specifically, they are working at extending, to the field of laser optics, some key ideas that form the foundation of the microwaves and the radio frequencies fields.

Jehoshua Bruck, Gordon and Betty Moore Professor of Computation and Neural Systems and Electrical Engineering, and colleagues' paper entitled Rank Modulation for Flash Memories has received the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Best Paper Award in Signal Processing and Coding for Data Storage. Rank modulation is a novel data representation scheme which the group has developed for multilevel flash memory cells. The idea is that a set of cells stores information in the permutation induced by the relative charge levels of the individual cells. As opposed to iterative (and slow) programming in current technology, rank modulation allows fast programming that is based on push-to-the-top operations, namely, raising the charge level of a single cell to be the highest one.
