Extractions: e-mail this story to a friend THE NOTEBOOK Rita Castillo Photonics - the branch of science that deals with generation, manipulation, and transport of light energy - has a hand in everything from laser surgery to holograms to the making of CDs. About 350,000 photonics technicians were employed in the United States in 1994, and the number is expected to exceed 740,000 this year, according to the Center for Occupational Research and Development. But that has leaders in industries such as manufacturing, defense, medicine, and telecommunications wondering if enough people will have the skills and interest to fill these jobs in the future. That's where Project PHOTON comes in. "The goal of the project is to prepare teachers at all educational levels to introduce photonics technology into the classroom, thereby exposing thousands of students to career opportunities...." says project manager Fenna Hanes of the New England Board of Higher Education. The board received a $490,000 grant from the Advanced Technological Education program of the National Science Foundation. THIS IS PHOTONICS: Prime Minister Tony Blair fired a laser beam during a New Year's light show.

Extractions: Researcher Kung Bin Sung and his colleagues presented their fiber optic confocal microscope at CLEO/QELS 2002. The microscope allows them to image cell nuclei in epithelial tissue, paving the way for detection of precancerous cells. The researchers say their optical imaging technique should provide a tool to noninvasively screen larger areas of suspicious tissue in real time. They are planning a clinical study with the goal of creating a cost-effective instrument for use in clinics. Calcium May be Key to Better Clocks Atomic clocks keep accurate time by locking themselves to the extremely precise frequencies of the electromagnetic radiation absorbed or released by an atom making a transition from one energy level to another. Next-generation atomic clocks, which lock to frequencies in the visible light range, are showing that they can surpass traditional atomic clock designs based on microwave frequencies.

Extractions: One view of the new Photonics Lab. In the Department of Electrical Engineering, the optics area is trans- disciplinary across several technical areas. Most, but not all, optics-related courses will have the middle digit of the course number as "1", representing electromagnetics, or "3" representing Solid State and Physical Electronics. At Ohio State, courses beginning with "6" and "7" are open to both graduates and undergraduates, while course beginning with "8" or "9" are open only to graduate students. OSU is on the quarter system. The following courses are currently offered: EE716 Optics With Laser Light Prof. Collins or Prof. Anderson . The quarter of offering varies. Contact either professor for our best estimate of the next offering. OFFERING IN AUTUMN 2000 LIKELY!

Drew Physics Department Laser Laboratory- Photonics photonics is the study of light and its interaction At Drew, I run the photonicslaboratory and provide senior Advanced Lab course for physics majors/minors. http://users.drew.edu/~dmcgee/Drew_Physics_Laser_Laboratory_Photonics.html
Extractions: Dr. David J. McGee- faculty advisor My research focuses on photonics, with emphasis on lasers, holography, and photorefractive nonlinear optics. Photonics is the study of light and its interaction with matter. The applications of photonics such as fiber optic networks and CDs are transforming the technological landscape in ways similar to the electronic revolution of the past fifty years. At Drew, I run the photonics laboratory and provide many opportunities for students to work in the lab, including multidisciplinary projects with chemistry and computer science. Student projects span the range from Independent Study courses, Honors theses, paid summer internships with the Drew Summer Science Institute, and paid summer research assistantships through external grants. Recent projects involved the fabrication of organic films for 3-D holography and the application of these films in holographic data storage devices. There is also continuing development of innovative instructional laboratory experiments in nonlinear optics, laser spectroscopy, and image processing as part of the junior-senior Advanced Lab course for physics majors/minors. I encourage students to experience work in the photonics lab every chance they get- it provides exposure to the technologies not covered in courses, but which employers and graduate schools are seeking.

Extractions: Photo caption below Computers created within the next two decades could revolve around a technology in which laser beams converge inside crystals the size of sugar cubes, forming holographic images for processing huge amounts of information, says the author, Purdue University physics Professor David D. Nolte In his book, "Mind at Light Speed: A New Kind of Intelligence," Nolte describes how optics-based computer technologies may evolve over three generations during the next century. The first generation, which is well under way, has seen the Internet transformed by fiberoptic cables, optical switches and other devices that are based on photonics, or using visible light signals to transmit data. Download Photo Here Photo caption below The second generation, perhaps by the year 2020, will revolve around new types of optical processors. These "holographic computers" might use crystals that receive and manipulate data-laden images, processing information much faster than conventional computers. Perhaps after 2050, a network connecting such computers might achieve intelligence, Nolte says.

Extractions: History Former Events Photonics West Exhibition, San Jose Convention Center, California (USA), 28.-30. January 2003. Exhibition, Booth 5093. Attention: Don´t miss HoloEye´s official Photonics West demonstration "Spatial Light Modulator system based on an LCOS micro-display", presented by Sven Krueger, January 30th 2003, 02:30 pm. Exhibition Hall 3. The Spatial Light Modulator system consists of a reflective LCOS micro-display with impressive performnace parameters in terms of light efficiency, pixel size and pixel number. 2.3 Million pixels are addressable at video frame rate and open up many applications especially in coherent laser applications due to the phase modulating properties of the system. Contact Marcel Rogalla, Chief Executive Officer, or Sven Krueger at the booth. Official exhibition demonstration, Jan. 30th 2003, 02:30 pm. Exhibition hall 3. Presentation Titel: Spatial Light Modulator system based on an LCOS micro-display Speaker: Dipl.-Phys. Sven Krueger, HoloEye Photonics AG. Summary: A new prototype of a very light efficient spatial light modulator system will be presented. Small pixels (10m), high fill factor, high pixel number (2.3 Mega Pixels), good phase-modulation properties and switching at about 60 Hertz open up new opportunities for all applications where laser beams have to be flexibly manipulated in phase or amplitude, e.g. for beam splitting or beam forming.
HoloEye Photonics AG. Holography And Diffractive Optics FAQs. However, the computation of holograms of complex objects require So, unfortunately,we are light years apart from the is the trademark of HoloEye photonics AG. http://www.holoeye.de/holofaqs.htm
Extractions: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Holography and Diffractive Optics FAQs What is holography? Holography is a method for recording the optical field distribution that results from the light scattered by an object. The recording medium that contains the field information is called a hologram. Since there is a one-to-one correspondence between the object and its scattered field, a hologram can be used to reconstruct the optical field distribution of the object. As the field information contains spatial information about the object the hologram can give a 3D spatial image of the recorded object if it is illuminated with coherent light. What is a computer-generated hologram (CGH)? The physics of holography can be efficiently simulated on modern computer systems. This can be used to compute the field distributions of virtual reality objects and the corresponding hologram distributions. These distributions are digital and can be recorded on a holographic medium. The result is a computer-generated hologram. If it is illuminated with coherent light, the virtual reality object can be made visible. Is "the Holodeck" possible?
