This advancement in telecommunicati ons has been driven by both hardware and software. The circuit complexity\ , as portrayed by the number of transistors on the silicon chip\, continue s to double every 24 months as pointed out by Mooreâ€™s law. On the other hand\, the communication bandwidth had doubled every 18 months. This meteo ric increase in bandwidth has been made possible by three key developments over the last 60 years. The first of these was the demonstration of the p oint-contact bipolar transistor in 1947 by Bardeen\, Brattain and Shockley which started the solid-state revolution. This was followed by the demons tration of the MOS Field-Effect-Transistor by Kahng and Atalla in 1960. Th e second key contributor to this bandwidth explosion was the development o f Information Theory as enunciated by Claude Shannon in 1948. Once in plac e\, this provided a firm theoretical underpinning to understand the trade- offs between signal-to-noise ratio\, bandwidth and error-free transmission in the presence of noise. The third key development which ignited this fi re was the invention of laser by Schawlow and Townes in 1958 with a workin g demonstration in 1960. Serious efforts to transform this understanding i nto high-performance lightwave systems started by the designing of integra ted electronics using MOS technology around 1980. However\, initial attemp ts at boosting receiver sensitivity and data-rates was seriously hampered by a lack of understanding of the noise performance of the MOS device. Spe akerâ€™s contributions in this area not only led to a deeper understanding of the noise behavior of MOS devices but also produced an order of magnit ude improvement in their performance. This set the stage for MOS to become the technology of choice for lightwave and now low-cost wireless terminal applications. The ubiquitous nature of cell phones is a testimony to thes e key developments in the early 80â€™s. In this talk\, starting from smoke signals at millibits per second\, we will trace these events from a histo rical perspective to see how these key technologies lead to the developmen t of modern wireless and optical networks of terabit capacity with petabit s looming in sight.\n\nSpeaker(s): Renuka P.
