The application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to recycling on an industrial scale is only now taking off, according to Amy J.R. Bauer. ‘Once it’s implemented on a large scale,
individual components like lasers and detectors will be fine-tuned for this use,’ she said. ‘Data analysis and sorting algorithms will develop alongside and permit the technique to be more effectively used.’ As well as sitting as a committee member at events such as Optica’s Sensing Congress, Bauer has appeared on Ocean Insight’s own Applied Spectral Knowledge
Based in: Rochester, NY, USA Education: PhD, Chemistry (Physical), University of Denver
podcast talking about LIBS’ uses in materials analysis for mining and metals identification in recycling. One of the short-term challenges she sees
for LIBS in recycling is in how the materials are presented to the measuring laser. ‘This community is used to presenting materials for processing on a conveyor belt. This may not be optimal for all recycling processing schemes,’ she said. Find Bauer at

Congratulations, Amy!
‘We thank you for your many contributions to our business – your unique LIBS and Raman knowledge help us develop the best applied spectroscopy systems on the planet, serving our customers
with measurement excellence! Your colleagues at Ocean value your team-orientation, your good humour, and your photonics prowess. Keep up the great work, Doctor Bauer!’

Polina Bayvel
Organisation: UCL, Dept of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
Role: Head, Optical Networks Group, Professor of Optical
Professor of optical communications and networks at University College London, a fellow of the Royal Society, made a CBE for services to engineering, and the first woman to receive the Institute of Physics’ Thomas Young Medal and Prize (in 2021) for contributions to the field of optical communications, it would be unusual if an engineer of Polina Bayvel’s stature did not feature in the Photonics100. As well as heading UCL’s Optical
Networks Group, Bayvel currently leads
Communications & Networks Based in: London, UK Education: BSc (Eng) and PhD, UCL
the EPSRC Programme Grant TRANSNET (transforming optical networks for the cloud through the combination of machine learning and intelligent transceivers) and believes that ‘adaptive, intelligent low-delay, ultrawideband optical networks for the cloud and the devices needed to achieve this’ will be the next significant development once network design challenges are overcome. You can find Bayvel on Twitter @bayvel_p. She is giving a plenary talk at ECOC 2023 in Glasgow.
