A. G. Dentai

Andrew Dentai (Fellow, IEEE) received the B.Sc. degree from the University of Veszprem, Hungary, in 1966, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in ceramic science in 1972 and 1974, respectively. After joining Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ, USA, in 1968, he attended Rutgers University. In 1974, he re-joined Bell Labs, where he worked on epitaxial crystal growth, first employing LPE, later switching to MOVPE. He worked on material development for long wavelength LEDs, SAGM APDs, LED pumped Nd: YAG fiber lasers, tunable Y-branch lasers, long wavelength photodiodes, high speed photodiodes, InP-based SHBT and DHBT transistors, and OEIC receivers based on HBTs among other devices. He was named a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff of Bell Labs in 1987. In 2001, he retired from Bell Labs and joined the Technical Staff of Infinera’s Epi operations, where he is currently working on materials for large scale Photonic Integrated Circuits. He has more than 300 publications and talks, and more than 30 patents spanning 31 years at Bell Labs and 17 years at Infinera. He was elected as a Fellow of the Optical Society of America in 2013.
