Filbert J. Bartoli

Filbert J. Bartoli received a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering and a Ph. D. in Physics from the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. In 1971 he joined the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) where his research activities focused on infrared sensors and imaging, optical heating in semiconductors, and laser-semiconductor interactions. During this period, his group developed a national database on IR sensor susceptibility and hardening. Between 1985 and 2000 he served as a Section Head in the Optical Sciences Division, where he managed research programs on narrow-gap semiconductors, quantum-well and superlattice device physics and modeling, mid-IR quantum well (QW) lasers, infrared sensors, nanostructures, organic nonlinear optics, ultrafast processes, and two-photon materials and interactions. During this period, he also developed optoelectronic and photonic programs and funded academic, industrial and government research.

     Dr. Bartoli joined the National Science Foundation in 2000, as Program Director of the Electronics, Photonics, and Device Technologies and Integrative Systems programs in the Division of Electrical and Communications Systems. He manages a program on optoelectronics and photonics, as well as program solicitations on Ultra-High Capacity Optical Communications and Sensors and Sensor Networks. He is also cognizant program officer for the Engineering Research Center on Extreme Ultraviolet Science and Technology at Colorado State University.

             He has sat on program committees and chaired symposia at major international conferences. He co-edited a book entitled Properties of II-VI Semiconductors. He has over 300 publications and 18 patents to his credit. He currently serves as co chair for Short Courses for CLEO, and is an Associate Editor for the Journal of Quantum Electronics. He is a member of the American Physical Society, APS Division of Laser Science, Optical Society of America, and IEEE.
