About the Author -

|
|
||
|
|
Stuart A. Kingsley is a fiber optic consultant and Director of the
|
||
|
|
world's first Amateur Optical SETI Observatory. He received a B.Sc.
|
||
|
|
Honors and Ph.D. in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from The
|
||
|
|
City University, London (1972) and University College London (1984),
|
||
|
|
respectively (England). He worked at Battelle Columbus Division as
|
||
|
|
Principal Research Scientist and then as Senior Research Scientist from
|
||
|
|
1981 to 1987. He has been involved in producing a variety of fiber-
|
||
|
|
optic sensors, including fiber-optic rotation sensors. He invented
|
||
|
|
the fiber-optic line-stretcher and fiber-optic line-squeezer phase
|
||
|
|
modulators that are now important components in fiber-optic sensor
|
||
|
|
systems. He shared a 1984 Rank Prize in Optoelectronics for pioneering
|
||
|
|
work on fiber-optic sensing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Stuart's other professional interests include the possible health
|
||
|
|
effects of electromagnetic pollution and adverse effects from fluor-
|
||
|
|
escent lighting/VDT flicker. He is the author of 38 papers in fiber-
|
||
|
|
optics, mainly related to coherent systems and distributed fiber-optic
|
||
|
|
sensing, and several patents mainly in the area of coherent fiber-optic
|
||
|
|
systems. He is a member of the IEE, a British Chartered Engineer, a
|
||
|
|
senior member of IEEE and a member of Eta Kappa Nu Association. He
|
||
|
|
is also a member of The Planetary Society, the Columbus Astronomical
|
||
|
|
Society, and a former member of the Astronomical Society of Haringey
|
||
|
|
(ASH) in London.

* The last conference paper will give preliminary details of the design of
|
||
|
|
the world's first Amateur Optical SETI Observatory, presently under
|
||
|
|
construction in the author's backyard.
