About the Author -
Stuart A. Kingsley is a fiber optic consultant and Director of the
world's first Amateur Optical SETI Observatory. He received a B.Sc.
Honors and Ph.D. in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from The
City University, London (1972) and University College London (1984),
respectively (England). He worked at Battelle Columbus Division as
Principal Research Scientist and then as Senior Research Scientist from
1981 to 1987. He has been involved in producing a variety of fiber-
optic sensors, including fiber-optic rotation sensors. He invented
the fiber-optic line-stretcher and fiber-optic line-squeezer phase
modulators that are now important components in fiber-optic sensor
systems. He shared a 1984 Rank Prize in Optoelectronics for pioneering
work on fiber-optic sensing.
Stuart's other professional interests include the possible health
effects of electromagnetic pollution and adverse effects from fluor-
escent lighting/VDT flicker. He is the author of 38 papers in fiber-
optics, mainly related to coherent systems and distributed fiber-optic
sensing, and several patents mainly in the area of coherent fiber-optic
systems. He is a member of the IEE, a British Chartered Engineer, a
senior member of IEEE and a member of Eta Kappa Nu Association. He
is also a member of The Planetary Society, the Columbus Astronomical
Society, and a former member of the Astronomical Society of Haringey
(ASH) in London.
* The last conference paper will give preliminary details of the design of
the world's first Amateur Optical SETI Observatory, presently under
construction in the author's backyard.
