NARINDER SINGH KAPANY

(Pioneering Work on Fibre Optics, Entrepreneur & Business Executive)


Narinder Singh Kapany, the pioneering Indian scientist and entrepreneur who worked on biomedical optics and optical fibers, has passed away at the age of 94. In response to a question about why he named his business K2 Optronics after the second-highest mountain in the world, he stated that one must be modest. optical technologies and the marketing of optical instruments, most notably Optics Technologies in 1960, Kaptron in 1973, and K2 Optronics in 2000. In addition, he contributed generously to the establishment of research chairs at universities and contributed to the promotion of Indian culture by assembling an exceptional art collection.

Kapany possessed extraordinary enthusiasm, creativity, and practical instrumentation skills. He continued to work well into his eighties while maintaining his unwavering enthusiasm for science, invention, and business. The course of human history was altered by his desire to bend light.

Many individuals view Narinder Singh Kapany as the unrecognized yet truly great individual and the father of fiber optics, regardless of the way that his various weighty achievements in the field might not have gotten the appropriate measure of credit. In order to investigate the physics of light coupling and propagation in fibers, Kapany carried out numerous early experiments. He was one of the first physicists to demonstrate that a bundle of thin glass fibers could transmit images 1, 2, and 3 with high resolution. He performed the first laser treatments for retinal detachment, developed fiber-optic hypodermic probes for biomedical optics imaging of living human tissue, and demonstrated optical oximetry of human tissue using blood.

In order to determine the oxygen saturation level, it makes use of the optical absorption properties of the blood. Since then, optical pulse oximetry has grown into an important and widespread optical technique.

Kapany remained intrigued by the potential for image transmission over optical fibers after employing pulsed light sources to transmit a three-dimensional image [11, 12] and thoroughly examining point-spread functions and image assessment parameters in optical systems [3]. The foundation for modern engineering instruments for distance measuring, laser ranging, and laser scanning was established by these early works.

Kapany was also interested in making use of solar energy. He improved the design of efficient solar panels that can be installed on walls or windows and obtained multiple patents for devices for solar windows and solar walls that can cool an environment.

After the initial tests in 1960, the research on fiber optics had essentially come to an end; Kapany insisted despite Hopkin and Van's abandonment of the subject. He continued to pursue his passion for biomedical instruments, picture transmission, and fiber optic sensors throughout his career.

In the 1960s, highly transparent fibers were developed by Charles Kao, who was honored with the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics for his achievements. In order to advance the optical fiber communication system 7, Kapany was instrumental in the development of technologies like fiber couplers, (de-)multiplexers, and amplifiers. He had approximately one hundred patents and published the same number of articles.
