History

Drs. John F. Whitaker and Kyoung Yang, co-founders of AFS, are internationally respected researchers in the fields of high-speed optoelectronics, microwave photonics, and the practical applications of phenomena in these areas. While at the University of Michigan, they invented an optical-fiber-coupled, electro-optic, scanning field sensor, a device that has evolved into innovative RF and high-speed test instrumentation for a broad range of measurement applications. In 2002, Drs. Whitaker and Yang co-founded the company Opteos, Inc., where they served as VP/CTO and President/CEO for the company, respectively, until 2009. In 2010, with the more focused business goal of developing innovative fiber-sensor technologies for a variety of practical test & measurement solutions, Drs. Whitaker and Yang launched Advanced Fiber Sensors, Inc.
