This presentation is contributed to the 79th birthday (Nov. 4, 2012) of The Honorable Sir Charles Kuen Kao. The timing, though coincidental, could not have been better to arrange THE SCHAWLOW-TOWNES SYMPOSIUM ON PHOTONICS on Nov. 9, 2012, in the same week. We present photos & some background information about Prof. Kao to emphasize the importance of the multiculturalism for his achievements.
