• Was honored with IETE CEOT award for outstanding contributions in the field of Optoelectronics

i.b. Proven capability to lead teams to bring out commercial products from research concepts to international level

• While at SFO Technologies Pvt. Ltd., (NeST Group) Suresh used his expertise in Photonics and established design and volume manufacturing facilities for both optical passives as well as active products. Suresh joined this private company in 1999, SFO

Technologies was doing contract manufacturing of simple fiber optic couplers and patch cords. Remaining within budget constraints.

• Suresh convinced the management on the future of Photonics and established full fledged optical active and passive facilities. A strong design group was formed. Took a not so popular company to the top and well known Photonics company in India and globally. The facilities established were Class 10,000 clean room, die bonding, wire bonding, precision alignment, laser welding, testing, etc. There are around 600 employees presently employed in Photonics division, with an annual turnover in Photonics products to the tune of 40 Million USD. The customers are all global. The success and demonstrated results by Suresh made the company management to shoulder Suresh with the responsibility of Chief Technology Officer of the Group. The manpower strength is 3600.

• SFO Technologies has grown from 80 Million USD turnover in 1999 to around 200 Million USD in 2014, and the major reason for this growth can be attributed to the planning of Technology strategies. Suresh conceptualized a few more value added services which attracted global customers to NeST, even though low cost manufacturing is available in other Asian countries. Suresh is shown as the face of the company and all first customer presentations are done by him.

v. Volunteering Leadership; Installation of IEEE E-Scientia:

• Proposed an installation of E-Scientia, a lab model space lab, under IEEE Kerala Section. Despite budget constraints, Suresh, volunteered to formulate an innovative model to build the same in India within the budget. As Chair of IEEE Kochi Subsection under Kerala Section, Suresh took up the responsibility of getting the lab made as per the original design. This was a herculean task and even with the high demanding positions he had in his profession, Suresh took help of all Volunteers of IEEE Kochi subsection, and executed perfectly. This was inaugurated by Prof. Moshe Kam, Past President, IEEE.

vi. Strong sense on futuristic products: experience in managing research oriented projects and delivering results under demanding budget/schedule

• In 2004 itself, Suresh predicted the requirement of Intrusion Proof Systems for Fiber Optic networks in future .Initial research was initiated and a few prototypes were developed namely Fiber Sentinel System, also known as Intrusion Proof System. These systems can safeguard fiber optic communication channel from hacking attempts, eavesdropping and service outage (due to rupture). The device with its exclusive WaveSenseTM intrusion prevention technology provides continuous, real-time monitoring of a fiber connection, detects any physical intrusions, and instantly eliminates the intrusion by shutting down the transmission. Automatic optical bypass switching simultaneously diverts data to an alternate fiber path

• . Now in 2014, this has found real deployment. This is now to be included in the nationwide FO network by Indian Defence, expecting around 400 systems to be deployed. Suresh’s vision on futuristic products and persistence and perseverance towards achieving it can be seen here.

vii. Using challenge as an opportunity: Development of 1x4 Truly Fused Coupler for Japanese Market:

• When start of FTTH waves in Japan, customer expressed requirement of 1x4 wideband coupler. Suresh took up this challenge, and led a team to come up with special structure and process to realize 1x4 splitters with very wide bandwidth. The other alternative for this device was to use Planar Integrated Circuits, but was expensive at that time, compared to fused couplers. Suresh used this challenge as an opportunity. This has successfully undergone all reliability trials as per Telcordia standards. Japanese customers did rigorous audits. Around 97,300 units were manufactured at SFO Technologies/NeST and sold to ACS, Japan.

viii. Urge to gain more expertise in allied areas: Mesosphere, Stratosphere and Troposphere (MST) Radar exists in a few countries and in 1988 India also decided to install this at a place near Tirupati. The responsibility of design, development and installation was taken up by SAMEER, Government of India lab. A complete system design has to be done. While other fellow Engineers got settled with design and development of respective subsystem, Suresh, even though very young at profession, took the responsibility of simulating the whole Radar system, derived the specifications of various subsystems, studied the impact of variation in subsystem performance, etc. This was done with guidance from his guide Dr.YGK Patro. Many papers emerged during these studies. The Radar system was installed and commissioned successfully. The urge to understand the whole system and to gather more knowledge has made Suresh to take up such a complex challenge.

Suresh is the researcher of this paper where the co-authors are the guides. A systematic design procedure has been devised for integrated optic channel waveguides by combining the theory of Titanium indiffusion, theory of dielectric waveguides and coupled mode theory. Various aspects like variation of ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices with diffusion parameters, variation of coupling length with physical fabrication parameters for both TE and TM cases are studied. This will serve as a reference for designers where the effect of fabrication parameters can be foreseen and compensated.

Suresh along with coauthors devised an easy method to measure the mode size of integrated optic channel waveguide. This method uses simple objective, fiber and power meter. The results using this method was compared with standard techniques and agrees so well. This helps researchers to estimate the mode field diameter with no expensive measurement equipment.

Suresh is the researcher in this area and co-authors are the guides. An experimental set up is configured for mode size measurement of channel waveguides at different polarization excitations. The near field at 1310 nm is magnified and projected at a distance and profiling is done using single mode fiber. This simple set up eases the compalex mode size measurements.

An integrated optic directional coupler at 1310 nm is designed and fabricated. In this paper, subsequent pigtailing and packaging techniques developed are described. This includes design and fabrication of silicon V grooves, placement of fibers, polishing at angles, and 12 axis alignment technique. The method described is then followed by many in all packaging of integrated optic devices.

The integrated optic couplers are realized using straight and curved waveguides. During the transition period, these curved waveguides also act as a coupler. In this paper, this is analysed

and a method derived to estimate equivalent coupling length due to such transition region. During design, this length has to be reduced from the straight coupler length to achieve better performance.

Computer simulation studies have been conducted on the range side lobe performance of a pulse compression radar system which uses a complementary biphase-coded signal transmission. Such a coding scheme is widely used in mesosphere-stratosphere-troposphere

(MST) radars expecting to achieve ideally zero range side lobes to ensure unambiguous detection of signals. However, system parameters, like overall system bandwidth, delay distortion, limiting, amplitude and phase droop within the pulse, can lead to spillover of a target return into adjacent range bins by raising the range side lobe level. The results of the study indicate that a goal of 20-dB range side lobe level can be achieved with matched filter bandwidth and reasonable levels of amplitude and phase distortions in the signal path.

This paper serves as a fundamental paper while designing various subsystems of Indian MST Radar.
