• In Hitachi Cable, he engaged in research and product development of an optical fiber, an optical cable, an optical device, and optical sensing system relation over 25 years.
  He has 35 years experienced on fiberoptics.
• He commercialized PM fiber for the first time in the world.(The major Showa 56 Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun 10 new product prize award)
• He devised a novel method, scattering matrix method, to analyse the transmission bandwidth of the mode coupled multimode optical fiber. His theory was proved in the actual field.
• He took part in the project of fiberoptic gyroscope for industrial applications and succeeded in mass-production for the first time in the world.
  10,000 sets were adopted in the car navigation system for luxury cars of Toyota Motor. It was nominated for the 100th new product in the 1993 fiscal year.
• He talked the keynote presentation entitled "Commercialization of the fiber gyros for industrial applications." at the SPIE 20th anniversary conference of fiber gyro in 1996.
• He is also a CEO of Global Herosystems, Inc. which he established in 2010 in San Jose, CA, USA.
• He is a R&D adviser of the Japan photonics Council which is NPO of government authorization.

Award

• 1993: Selected for the R&D 100 Awards for the development of fiber optic gyroscopes for car navigation systems
• 1981: Received the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun Top 10 New Products Award for the world’s first commercialization of polarization-maintaining optical fiber

Academic Activities

He has published over 50 papers which include 8th ECOC, OFC'88, SPIE(in 1991 and 1996) ,IEEE , Applied Optics and IECE of Japan.
He has given three invited talks and one plenary talk and twice chaired sessions at major international SPIE conferences.
He has co-authored chapter in Optical Fiber Sensing Technologies published by Wiley in 2000.
He is an R&D adviser of Japan Photonic Council.
