R&D VCSEL Design Team
Al Yuen heads up one of the VCSEL design teams at Lumentum. He has been involved in many aspects of the III-V compound semiconductor field from start-up (Alvesta), medium sized companies (Coherent, Emcore), to large corporations (HP OCD, HP Labs). Al was part of the teams that created the first active optical cable (AOC) and the flex-circuit-based parallel optical module for data center optical interconnection. He graduated from UC Berkeley in EECS and received his PhD from UC Santa Barbara.
