<str<strong>on</strong>g>Professor</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Bjarne</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Tromborg</str<strong>on</strong>g> is about to retire. At COM•DTU we<br />
wish to celebrate <str<strong>on</strong>g>Bjarne</str<strong>on</strong>g>’s many achievements within research and educati<strong>on</strong> by organizing<br />
a symposium <strong>on</strong> phot<strong>on</strong>ics in his h<strong>on</strong>our.<br />
Originally a particle physicist from the Niels Bohr Institute, <str<strong>on</strong>g>Bjarne</str<strong>on</strong>g> switched to phot<strong>on</strong>ics<br />
more than 25 years ago, and since then he has made a number of important c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong>s<br />
to the field. Am<strong>on</strong>g these we may menti<strong>on</strong> the development of detailed theories<br />
of semic<strong>on</strong>ductor lasers and optical amplifiers and their (quantum) noise and dynamic<br />
properties as well as the analysis of fundamental properties of nanophot<strong>on</strong>ic devices,<br />
such as quantum dot structures and phot<strong>on</strong>ic crystals. The research of <str<strong>on</strong>g>Bjarne</str<strong>on</strong>g> is characterized<br />
by a thoroughness and insight that we believe will make his papers a source of<br />
knowledge and inspirati<strong>on</strong> for many years to come. As an educator, <str<strong>on</strong>g>Bjarne</str<strong>on</strong>g> has always<br />
devoted a tremendous effort to students <strong>on</strong> all levels, in this way opening the doors to<br />
the inner workings of phot<strong>on</strong>ics for many a student. Finally, <str<strong>on</strong>g>Bjarne</str<strong>on</strong>g>’s eye for identifying<br />
important and upcoming research topics has of course been most important for placing<br />
Denmark in the internati<strong>on</strong>al forefr<strong>on</strong>t of phot<strong>on</strong>ics research.<br />
By his example, <str<strong>on</strong>g>Bjarne</str<strong>on</strong>g> has thus set a reference that is well worth striving for - and<br />
marking by a symposium of internati<strong>on</strong>ally renowned researchers. We hope that you will<br />
use this opportunity to learn about recent developments in phot<strong>on</strong>ics and to celebrate<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>Bjarne</str<strong>on</strong>g>.<br />
We look forward to seeing you at COM•DTU.<br />
