The Photonics and Fiber Optics Lab was established primarily through the effort of Dr. Corneliu Rablau through a generous equipment donation secured from JDS Uniphase of San Jose, CA and through equipment and accesories purchased using his professional development money provided by Kettering University, as well as other funds. The funds for the renovation of the space that houses the lab were provided by the Kettering University Office of Sponsored Research. The support provided by this office is greatly appreciated. Physics Department lab managers Robert Cunningham and Gary Thieme have also provided a lot of help, their heavy lifting (literally and figuratively) is acknowledged and appreciated. Last but not least, the support provided by Dr. Bahram Roughani, the Head of the Physics Department and a strong advocate for the Photonics Lab is acknowledged and greatly appreciated.
