The Center for Microwave Photonics was established twenty-five years ago (originally called the Center for Microwave-lightwave Engineering). It is a premier research and education enterprise for the advancement of microwaves and photonics technologies, which are among the fastest growing disciplines in engineering. Current projects focus on the chip level integration of photonic and monolithic microwave integrated circuits, on high dynamic range coherent fiber-optic links, on optical domain signal processing of microwave signals, on fiber-radio and on the application of microwave photonics to biology and medicine. The center has produced over three hundred publications, received numerous research and teaching awards and graduated forty doctoral students (seven of them are Fellows of the IEEE). The Centers enjoys close collaboration with Universities in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
