Physicist, photonics pioneer, and documentarian of Sweden's overlooked technologial breakthroughs

Photonics

Starting September 1, 2026, my daily operations will focus on the present and future of photonics.
The first blog post reflecting this change is entitled:

What is Photonics?

Sweden’s Hidden Fiber-Optic Revolution History

Discover Sweden’s pioneering journey in fiber‑optic technology from the mid‑1970s onward.

Few remember that BOH Optical AB reached world‑leading performance in fiber‑optic WDM.

3 × 140 Mbit/s as early as 1985

A breakthrough that today underpins both fixed and mobile internet traffic.

Discover the story through four themes and twelve blog posts. A thirteenth post recounts the long period I devoted to writing aimed at bridging STEM and the humanities.
