2014 Photonics West
Wide-ranging Plenaries at SPIE Photonics West
A major draw at SPIE Photonics West each year are the plenary talks, presented under the LASE, OPTO and MOEMS/MEMS conferences. This year's speeches are no exception, providing well-rounded topics to appeal to all technical attendees.
At the LASE plenary, which begins Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 10:20 a.m., Photonics21 President and Jenoptik AG CEO Michael Mertin will speak on "Photonics21 and the Perspectives from the European Photonics Industry."
The European Commission recognized the potential of photonics to strengthen Europe's industrial and innovation capacity and consequently declared photonics as a Key Enabling Technology. Photonics21 as partner of the European Commission developed a Multiannual Strategic Roadmap which aims at boosting European photonics along the whole innovation chain with special focus on the gap between generating knowledge and products. The roadmap will be realized in a public-private partnership between the European photonics industry and the European Commission until 2020.
After Mertin, Koji Sugioka, senior research scientist at Riken in Japan, will address "Femtosecond Laser 3-D Micromachining and its Applications to Biochip Fabrication." Sugioka will explain that femtosecond lasers have opened up new avenues in materials processing due to their unique characteristics of ultrashort pulse widths and extremely high peak intensities that induce strong absorption in even transparent materials, such as functional biochips. In his talk, Sugioka will detail the fabrication procedure of biochips using the femtosecond laser and applications of such chips.
Michel Meunier, professor of engineering physics at Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal, will present "A New Plasmonics Enhanced Ultrafast Laser Multi-Nanoscapel." Meunier will speak on a new technique recently introduced to perform nanosurgery in living cells using a laser multi-nanoscapel. He will explain that the laser multi-nanoscapel shows promise as an innovative tool for fundamental research in biology and medicine as well as an efficient alternative nanosurgery technology that could be adapted to therapeutic tools in the clinic.
Silicon photonics and ultrafast thin-disk lasers are the focus of the OPTO plenary, held Tuesday, Feb. 4 beginning at 8:30 a.m. Cornell University's Michal F. Lipson will begin with her presentation, "Pushing the Boundaries of Silicon Photonics." Lipson, a professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will provide an overview of recent advances and challenges in on-chip photonics. She will describe ultrahigh speed devices that enable one to change the structure's optical properties on a time scale shorter than the photonic time of flight, leading to novel applications such as optical isolators on a silicon chip.
Lipson will be followed by professor Ursula Keller of ETH Zurich in Switzerland, who will speak on "The Previously Unbelievable Performance of Ultrafast Thin Disk Lasers." She will explain that, with semiconductor thin disk lasers, an average power of <1 W can be obtained with both femtosecond and picosecond pulses and a pulse repetition rates ranging between 100 MHz to 100 GHz.
The MOEMS/MEMS plenaries will feature engineering professor Roger T. Howe of Stanford University speaking on "Electrostatic Nano Electromechanical Switches (NEMS) for Energy-Efficient Digital Systems;" Cornelia Denz of the University of Münster in Germany explaining "Tailoring Light for Optically-Guided Nano- and Microassembly: From Bio-Hybrid Robots to Droplet Cages;" and John A. Rogers, of the University of Illinois talking about "Bio-Integrated and Bio-Inspired Optical Microsystems."
