Introduction

摘要

This conference in tribute to Professor William Wolfe is the result of an initiative started by Prof. Eustace Dereniak, then President-Elect, now President of the SPIE. I was asked if I would be able to help put together this conference. Eustace and I both belong(ed) to the "Wolfe Pack". We were graduate students under Prof. Wolfe, one of us early in his tenure at the Optical Sciences Center (OSC) at the University of Arizona, and one at the end. (I have often joked that after he was willing to release me on the world, he realized it was time to quit.) I was very honored and humbled at the request.
