His poster was titled, "Polarization Insensitive Optical Clock Recovery at 80 Gb/s Using a Silicon Photodiode." The award carries a $300 prize (to be shared with one other first-place winner) and a merit certificate. Winners were chosen by an independent panel of judges from government, industry and academia. This work is described in detail in Reza's paper, "Polarization-Insensitive Optical Clock Recovery at 80 Gb/s using a Silicon Photodiode," which was recently submitted to Photonics Technology Letters.
