Biography
A. M. Weiner (S'84–M'84–SM'91–F'95) was born in Boston, MA, in 1958. He received the Sc.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, in 1984.,From 1979 through 1984, he was a Fannie and John Hertz Foundation Graduate Fellow at MIT. His doctoral thesis dealt with femtosecond pulse compression (including generation of the shortest optical pulses reported up to that time) and measurement of femtosecond dephasing in condensed matter. In 1984, he joined Bellcore, where he conducted research on ultrafast optics, including shaping of ultrashort pulses, nonlinear optics and switching in fibers, and spectral holography. In 1989, he became Manager of the Ultrafast Optics and Optical Signal Proce... Author's Published Works
