50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE LASER / 50e ANNIVERSAIRE DU LASER In the early 1950s I thought and worked hard at trying to find a way to obtain an oscillator for frequencies higher than those available from known electronics, in order to do very high resolution spectroscopy. Finally, I sud- denly had the idea to put enough excess atoms or molecules in an upper state, and provide stimulated emission. My student Jim Gordon and I made this work first in the microwave range, primarily as a test. The resulting maser (for microwave amplification by simulated emission of radiation) generated an exciting field and many people jumped into it to make microwave oscillators and amplifiers. But after a few years I pushed myself to move on to much shorter wavelengths. Arthur Schawlow and I then wrote a paper on how such stimulated emission oscillators could be produced at wavelengths as short as those of light – we called it an optical maser, but it soon was renamed the laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation). After publication of our theoretical discussion, many scientists were excited and the first working system was made by Theodore Maiman at the Hughes Labs, a pulsed ruby laser. The first continuously oscillation system was made by one of my former students, Ali Javan, with Wm. Bennett and Don Herriot at the Bell Telephone Labs. Industry by then recognized the importance of this field, and all the first lasers were built in industrial labs. Lasers are now a wonderful field for science and for a wide variety of technical applications -- all an outgrowth of spectroscopy, a field Herzberg helped develop importantly.

I presently use lasers to do infrared interferometry on stars with three separate telescopes. Lasers have helped astronomy in many ways, in particular producing a rapid growth of interferometry for measurement of stellar sizes and shapes. Our interferometer is the only one, however, which uses heterodyne detection, provided by laser local oscillators, which hence allows interferometry in very narrow bandwidths which can avoid spectral lines due to surrounding gas. This allows measurement of old and active stars quite directly, without interference from their emitted gases. I will report some of the measurements, showing the changes in size of some stars, the dust shells they have blown off and expansion of these shells, along with other details not seen until such techniques became possible.

BIOGRAPHY / BIOGRAPHIE Charles Hard Townes was born in Greenville, South Carolina and attended Furman University in Greenville, from which he received a B.Sc. in Physics and a B.A. in Modern Languages. He completed the Master of Arts degree in Physics at Duke University and then took his Ph.D. at the California Institute of Technology. He was a member of the technical staff of Bell Telephone Laboratories from 1933 to 1947. Appointed to Columbia University in 1948, he continued microwave research to study the structure of atoms, molecules and nuclei. In 1951, Dr. Townes conceived the idea of the maser and in early 1954, the first amplification and generation of electromagnetic waves by stimulated emission were obtained in ammonia. In 1958, Dr. Townes and his brother-in-law, Dr. A.L. Schawlow, showed theoretically that masers could be made to operate in the optical and infrared region. The first working laser was demonstrated (by Ted Maiman) in 1960. From 1959 to 1961, Dr. Townes served as Vice President and Director of Research of the Institute for Defense Analyses in Washington, D.C., advising the U.S. government. In 1961, Dr. Townes was appointed Provost and Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was appointed University Professor at the University of California in 1967, principally located at the Berkeley campus. He was co-recipient (with Drs. Basov and Prokhoroff) of the 1964 Nobel Prize in physics for the maser/laser principle. Dr. Townes has served on a number of scientific committees advising governmental agencies and has been active in professional societies. This includes being a member, and vice chairman, of the Science Advisory Committee to the President of the U.S. and Chairman of the Advisory Committee for the first human landing on the moon. He also served on the boards of General Motors and of the Perkins Elmer Corporations.

Charles Hard Townes est né à Greenville, en Caroline du Sud, où il se voit décerner un B.Sc. en physique et un B.A. en langues modernes par l’Université Furman. Il fait sa maîtrise ès arts en physique à l’Université Duke, puis son doctorat au California Institute of Technology. Il fait partie du personnel technique de Bell Telephone Laboratories de 1933 à 1947. À la suite de sa nomination à l’Université Columbia en 1948, il poursuit ses recherches sur les micro-ondes en étudiant la structure des atomes, des molécules et des noyaux. En 1951, le Dr Townes conçoit l’idée du maser et, début 1954, il réalise dans l’ammoniac la première amplification et génération d’ondes électromagnétiques par émission stimulée. En 1958, le Dr Townes et son beau-frère, le Dr A.L. Schawlow, démontrent théoriquement que le maser peut fonctionner dans la partie optique et infrarouge du spectre. La démonstration du premier laser opérationnel est faite (par Ted Maiman) en 1960. De 1959 à 1961, le Dr Townes est vice-président et directeur de la recherche à l’Institute for Defense Analyses à Washington, D.C., à titre de conseiller du gouvernement américain. En 1961, il est nommé vice-recteur à l’enseignement et à la recherche et professeur de physique au Massachusetts Institute of Technology, puis professeur à l’Université de la Californie en 1967, principalement au campus Berkeley. Le principe du maser/laser lui vaut (ainsi qu’aux Drs Basov et Prokhoroff) le prix Nobel de physique en 1964. Le Dr Townes siège à divers comités scientifiques conseillers d’organismes gouvernementaux et il est actif au sein de sociétés professionnelles. Il est ainsi membre et vice-prési- dent du comité consultatif des sciences du Président des États-Unis et président du comité consultatif sur le premier atterrissage de l’homme sur la Lune. Il siège aussi au conseil d’administration des sociétés General Motors et Perkins Elmer.

Graphene: the Idea, the Material -- What's Next?

Graphene is a one-atom thick layer of carbon atoms where electrons obey an emergent Dirac equation. In the six yeast since it became available in the laboratory, graphene has captured the attention of a wide spectrum of scientists: from condensed matter physicists fascinated by its unusual electronic properties, to technologists searching for materials for the next generation of electronic devices and to particle physicists interested in using graphene's emergent relativistic dynamics to study quantum field theory phenomena. This lecture will summarize some of the basic features of graphene, the ideas which led to its discovery and some future directions.

Distributed Brillouin fiber sensors: perspectives, challenges and field applications

Brillouin scattering refers to the scattering of light by sound waves created from propagating pressure, so called density waves. It is a mechanical wave which is sensitive to the temperature and strain. These phenomena can be used in the fibers to make fiber sensors. Fiber optical sensors are classified in two categories: point or distributed. The Brillouin scattering based fiber sensors can work as a point sensor or a distributed sensor. To form a point sensor, one can write a transient Brillouin grating (TBG) via two identical optical pulses of frequency difference matching the Brillouin resonance count-propagating in one of the axis of a polarization maintaining fiber (PMF), their overlapping region forms a grating, which can be set at any position in the fiber determined by the relative time delay of two pulses, the size of the grating is determined by the pulse length, and the number of grating can be controlled by the number of the pulses. When we replace one of the two pulses as a continuous wave, we can realize a distributed Brillouin sensor based on Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA). We can evaluate the distributed sensor performance by the three parameters: 1) sensing length which is the fiber length; 2) spatial resolution which is the gauge length for the measured parameter, and it equals the optical pulse length in spatial domain; and 3) strain or temperature resolution. The high performance distributed sensor means short spatial resolution (short pulse width), high strain or temperature resolution, which requires high signal to noise ratio (SNR) over long sensing length.

Extra dimensions: coming soon to an accelerator near you?

Experience with low energy limits teaches us patterns about what is generic and what is rare, and such considerations help guide our thinking about what lies beyond our present experimental reach. Extra dimensions can change these considerations, in surprising ways that may be promising.

Bahen Centre, BA 1160 URSULA FRANKLIN 16h00-16h45 UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO / UNIVERSITÉ DE TORONTO Women in Physics Session Speaker The However Paragraph It has been suggested that, in this talk, I might reflect on the advances in the status of women that have occurred during the past decades. Yet, it is the “however” aspect embedded in these developments that is of most interest to me - - both as a physicist and as a citizen. In terms of our gathering today, aware of the many changes that have come about in teaching and learning over the past decades, one might ask: “what has been the impact of a greater presence of women on the field of physics?” There may be more women physicists among us today; however, has physics changed? Among academic disciplines, profound changes regarding their professional image and practices have occurred in some disciplines, while other fields have changed much less. Under the impact of feminism and in response to issues raised by feminists, lawyers and doctors, engineers and architects now perceive their discipline as well as their teaching and practice differently from the perceptions of fifty years ago. Physics, however, appears less changed. Though interdisciplinary research activities involving physicists have flourished and expanded, the physics contri- bution has frequently been more one of technique and instrumentation, and not one of approach and analysis. This may be so because the essentially reductionist research design, frequently at the core of the feminist critique of the scientific method, seems to remain the archetyp- ical physics approach. However, this state of affairs need not remain so. I will argue, based in part on curriculum analyses, that there are within present day physics neglected research perspectives that deserve to be brought forward. For instance, integrating concepts, such as structure, stability or appropriateness of size and scale might deserves fresh study and updating; Considering the superstructure of matter as much a subject of research as matter’s substructure could yield fresh insight and helpful formal methodologies.In closing, I hope to sug- gest some “feminist” research questions that might broaden the field of physics as well as help to retain its women practitioners.

Reaching such high energies required a new particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which has recent- ly begun operation at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. The physics case for the LHC and the massive ATLAS detector that records the results of the interactions that might produce the Higgs boson or other new particles is discussed, and an LHC status report including a first look at ATLAS data from the ongoing 2010 run is presented.

Med-Sci Auditorium KEN TAPPING 14h30-15h15 NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL / CONSEIL NATIONAL DE RECHERCHES The Changing Rhythm of Solar Activity Climate and other environmental change almost certainly have solar-driven components, and our increasing activities in space and dependence on international and global power, transport and communications infrastructure makes us more vulnerable than in the past.The latest generations of satellite-borne instruments for observing the sun are producing unprecedented insights into solar activity. However, when we consider the solar activity cycle and longer-term trends in solar behaviour, we are confronted with two serious problems. Firstly, until we have observed a few solar activity cycles, we won't have the context we need. Secondly, we have yet to derive the tools needed to extract from these data the key parameters applicable to longer term studies. So far, the best stethoscopes we have for looking at the rhythm of solar activity are indices of solar activity such as sunspot number and the 10.7 cm Solar Radio Flux. The first is a record of solar activity since the 17th Century, and the second record began in 1947. Since then, additional indices have come into use. Although it would be unwise to treat any single quantity as a full descriptor of the level of solar activity, we can use these long, consistent time-series to gain insight into how the solar activity cycle works. In this presentation I will discuss work on using indices to examine the solar activity cycle, with special attention to the last solar minimum, which was unusually long. We will examine some of the underlying physics and summarize our plans for the future solar monitoring in Canada.

Confessions of a Struggling Physics Teacher: When one has more questions than answers

It might be expected from the CAP Excellence in Physics Teaching Medal winner to discuss effective physics teaching strategies. I, however, decided to use this opportunity of having so many excellent physics teachers under one roof to ask some questions, I have been struggling with for more than fifteen years. For example, we spend a significant amount of time training our graduate students to do physics research, yet we often allow our Teaching Assistants and new faculty to enter physics classrooms with very little teaching preparation. How, when and where are they supposed to learn how to teach physics? Is it fair to the students? We often assign less experienced faculty to teach large introductory courses, especially if they are for non-physics majors. Is it the right strategy is we want to make a positive impact on how these students think about physics? And what do you think about the lack of awareness of university faculty of the physics education literature? Should we expect of the people who teach physics to be aware not only of the content they teach, but also of the way many students (who often are very different from the physics faculty) learn physics? And how are we planning to make effective us of wireless technologies on our campuses? Should a lecture be the place where we retell the information that can be easily found online or in the textbook? In light of what we know about how our students learn physics, should there be a replacement for this ancient form of content delivery? Do we need lectures? I will share my thoughts on these questions and will welcome your ideas.

Shedding Light on Luminescent Plastics

In organic semiconductors, molecular motifs are the building blocks of solid-state architectures instead of covalently-linked atoms as in traditional semiconductors. This has the formidable advantage that individual motifs can be tailored synthetically for specific electronic properties, and that these semiconductors are readily processable in solution. Weak resonance Coulomb forces induced by pi electrons in neighbouring molecules play a crucial role in organic semiconductors. Molecules are configurationally 'soft'; consequent- ly, electronic interactions between building blocks are often complex due to energetic disorder, and characterisation of the semiconductor electronic structure is usually challenging. Nevertheless, understanding the complex interdependence between film microstructure (dictated by supramolecular order) and the semiconductor properties of pi-conjugated polymers is of fundamental importance in materials sciences, but it is also of practical interest for the development of applications in optoelectronics. Our work achieves new understanding of the functional consequences of crossing from ‘weak’ to ‘strong’ supramolecular electronic coupling regimes – the physics between the well understood molecular and extended semicondcutor regimes. We develop a description of how the linear absorption and the steady-state photoluminescence spectra can be analyzed within a weakly-coupled H-aggregate model in order to unravel underpin- ning details of the electronic structure, which in turn correlate directly with thin-film electronic transport properties. Specifically, analysis of the absorption spectral bandshape provides an estimate of the free-exciton bandwidth, which reflects the strength of the resonance Coulomb coupling of pi electrons in cofa- cial chains. This is a consequence of the the fact that the origin of the progression (the 0–0 transition) reflects the degree of exciton coherence and decreases with increasing intermolecular coupling; in the limit of a pure H-aggregate the 0–0 optical transition is symmetry forbidden. Because energetic disorder ren- ders the 0–0 transition partially allowed, the relative 0–0 intensity in the photoluminescence spectrum is sensitive to the nature of correlations in site energies and on the exciton spatial coherence.

How the First Cosmic Light Illuminates the Dark Universe

About 95% of the Universe is made of the mysterious dark matter that keeps the interiors of galaxies from flying apart and the even stranger dark energy that accelerates the universe at large towards an unknown fate. In the very early universe, it seems another dark "inflaton" energy generated quantum noise which grew via gravitational instability to become all of the structure we see in the cos- mos. Canada has been at the forefront in the use of sophisticated cosmic probes to elucidate the existence, amount and properties of the dark components. This talk will describe our role in obtaining the weightiest evidence, from observations of tiny ripples in the Big Bang's relic photon sea, and what we might be unveiled with our new high-precision probes.

The extended shutdown of the National Research Universal reactor at Chalk River has highlighted the vulnerability of a global medical isotope supply chain reliant on five ageing nuclear research reactors. This presentation will provide an overview of the Government of Canada's strategy to increase the security of medical isotope supplies for Canadians, including policy and program directions being pursued.

CARL ROSS 14h00-14h25 NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL / CONSEIL NATIONAL DE RECHERCHES Using the Mo-100 Photoneutron Reaction to Meet Canada's Requirement for Tc-99m

Although most Tc-99m is derived from the decay of reactor-produced Mo-99, there are other reaction pathways that can be used to produce Mo- 99 or Tc-99m directly. A promising option for the large-scale production of Mo-99 is the photoneutron reaction on Mo-100. Industrial grade electron accelerators are available with the required beam properties, Tc-99m separation technologies have been developed for low specific activity targets and molybdenum, enriched to greater than 95 % in Mo-100, is commercially available. Using the NRC 35 MeV electron accelerator, we have demonstrated all the steps in the production process. Our results are consistent with a detailed study carried out by the Idaho National Laboratory in the 1990s. An economic analysis indicates the cost of production is competitive with Mo-99 produced by reactors. We conclude that a single national facility, operating two electron accelerators, could supply all of Canada's requirements for Tc-99m.

TOM RUTH 14h25-14h50 TRIUMF Direct production of Tc-99m via cyclotron irradiation of Mo-100: A piece of the puzzle

With the availability of the medically important radionuclide Tc-99m as supplied by the Mo-99 generator dependent upon 5 aging reactors that have had significant outages over the last several years alternative routes for production are required to meet the diagnostic needs of the Canadian public as well as that for the rest of the world. We present the concept for producing Tc-99m directly from low energy cyclotrons, using existing cyclotrons in Canada, to produce Tc-99m from the 100Mo(p,2n) reaction and then distributed to a region of several hundred kilometres from the cyclotron on a daily basis. While this number limits the regions that can be supplied by this approach, the distribution of Tc-99m in this manner will alleviate shortages enabling generators to be shipped to more remote regions without access to direct production Tc-99m. This approach was awarded an NSERC/CIHR grant to bring radio- pharmaceuticals labeled with Tc-99m thus produced into clinical trials within 2 years (late 2011). The grant is to support efforts from a collaborative effort among 5 institutions across Canada (TRIUMF, BC Cancer Agency, Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, the Lawson Health Science Centre in London, ON and the Université de Sherbrooke in Quebec.

DOMINIC RYAN 14h50-15h15 MCGILL UNIVERSITY - CINS / UNIVERSITÉ MCGILL - Canada's new multi-purpose research reactor: it has always been about more than just isotopes

The political chatter about restructuring AECL and providing a secure supply of medical isotopes, appears to have distracted us from the bigger issue: stewardship and development of nuclear power reactors, our supply of many critical medical isotopes, and both fundamental and applied research using neutron beams have all come to depend on the continued operation of the fifty-two year old National Research Universal (NRU) reactor. Activities such as privatising AECL, or funding research on a single-product linac production facility for Mo-99, totally miss the point. NRU is not, and never has been, just an isotope reactor. Nor is it just a development platform for AECL. NRU was designed and built as a major piece of research infrastructure that has supported Canadian science and industry for over fifty years. It is long overdue for replacement, and only a flexible, multi-purpose research reactor can properly fulfil the many missions that NRU currently supports. Indeed, flexibility may be the most important feature needed in the new facility, since none of the key missions currently carried out by NRU really existed when the reactor went critical.
