Sub-series 1. Subject Files, 1967-2009, undated

Arranged alphabetically by subject, this sub-series consists of subject files created and maintained by L. Arthur D’Asaro during his career at Princeton Optronics. These files primarily document projects D’Asaro worked on at Princeton Optronics. They also regard a number subjects that attracted his attention while working at Princeton Optronics.

From the Subject Files sub-series, one can learn much about the research and development work conducted by D’Asaro and his colleagues on various projects over the course of his career at Princeton Optronics. Of particular interest are the files pertaining to vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers. This sub-series also reveals that D’Asaro actively sought to keep himself up to date with the latest technological developments in electronics engineering and that he was doing so into his eighties.

The contents of the Subject Files consist mainly of photocopied articles, articles downloaded from web sources, and papers. A significant amount of correspondence, reports, presentations, web page printouts, and Bell Laboratories technical memorandums are also found in this sub-series. A variety of other materials, including, but not limited to, copies of patents, magazine articles, article reprints, and notes are preserved here as well.
