Queen’s University While the photonics industry has experienced unprecedented economic growth, the chemistry, physics and engineering curricula of most Canadian universities do not reflect the interconnectedness of material synthesis, characterization, and modelling needed
for advanced photonic applications. CREATE-Materials for Advanced Photonics and Sensing (MAPS) fills this gap by providing students with comprehensive training in photonics problem solving using the best tools and approaches from physics, chemistry and engineering. Our students also develop advanced professional skills highly relevant to Canadian advanced manufacturing particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. We do this by introducing four new channels for students; mobility which allow every graduate student to experience an international visit or industrial internship; an innovative approach to supervision with students having mentorship by two internal professors and one external expert; the ePortfolio - a new method of planning, tracking and summarizing skill development tailorable to each student’s professional goals; and new courses that focus on problem solving, leadership, ethics and professional development. This training program has been developed with input from international experts, industrial leaders and graduate students themselves. It is the result of representatives of more than 30 institutions and companies joining forces to provide a wide breadth of training experiences for students to tailor their own professional development. The movement of students across borders and across the academia-industry divide will strengthen existing collaborations and build new ones. Upon completion of the program, students will be ready to support Canadian advanced manufacturing, from R&D to the commercialization of their own inventions.

10:30 - 10:45 PHOTON CANADA’S WORKSHOP: PHOTONICS IN CANADA Photon Canada’s workshop: Photonics in Canada The Canadian Photonic Industry Consortium is a not-for-profit-Corporation created in 2012 to facilitate collaboration between photonic industry, R&D Centres and university researchers and to promote photonics. The active members of CPIC include representatives of large, medium and small industries, R&D Centres, universities and Government laboratories in addition to a reach to 250 industries and more that 300 university researchers. CPIC activities include the creation of photonic exchange groups on various photonic technologies or applications through workshops, Virtual meetings and webinars. We also participate to the organization of trade-shows such as Photonics North and Photonics West. Canadian research capability in photonics is very good with its 36 photonic universities and 11 R&D centres. CPIC is also affiliate member of the five Canadian Super Clusters and is the link between CPIC members and the members of these super clusters. Using the data from Statistics Canada, we analysed the photonics imports/exports and got very interesting results. From 2014 to 2015, the global Canadian imports grew by 17% while the exports grew by 12%. However, during the same five year timeframe, the photonics exports grew by 47%, which is about 10% per year, and the photonics imports grew by 23%, even if it has been stable for the last three years. Three Countries (United States, China and Mexico) share 69% of Global imports and 68% of photonics imports. While United States and China share 79% of global exports, the photonics exports to these countries correspond to 59%. More details are provided for some photonic equipment and components such as lighting, cameras, optical devices and instruments, and optical fibres, bundles and connectors. Since COVID-19 will surely affects the Canadian photonics growth, collaboration between industry, R&D Centres and academia will be critical for a bright future.

10:30 - 10:45 GENTEC-EO’S WORKSHOP: BACKGROUND NOISE SUBTRACTION: A CRITICAL STEP IN LASER BEAM MEASUREMENT Félicien Legrand, Ahmed Rihane, Gentec-EO, Canada With a 45-year track record of innovation and providing quality solutions for laser power and energy measurement applications, Gentec-EO stands ready to serve you now and in the future. Laser power & energy meters, beam diagnostics solutions, THz detectors and custom laser measurement solutions, with calibration centers on 3 continents. We are your partner for accuracy! In this workshop, we will demonstrate the importance of subtracting background noise when making measurements of either laser beam profile or laser power. Background noise subtraction will be demonstrated for two different types of measurements: beam diameter measurement and laser power measurement. In the first part of the workshop, we will accurately measure the diameter of a laser beam with a beam profiler connected to a PC. We will show that noise from ambient light adds an error to the beam diameter measurements, which is removed with a background subtraction. Essentials of beam profiling will also be described, such as: beam diameter definitions, ISO requirements, spectral range, divergence, laser power and laser power density considerations. In the second part of this workshop, we will demonstrate how to reduce thermal drift and offset errors with a laser power meter. This demonstration will be presented with two types of power meters: a PC-connected detector and a wireless laser power detector connected to an iPhone. Recommendations to ensure accurate power measurements will be provided: spectral range, damage thresholds considerations, calibration process and uncertainties. A Q&A session will follow. We look forward to hear about your laser measurement needs and applications! What do you currently use? How do you use it? Let’s measure your lasers with Gentec-EO accuracy!
