  • Frontiers in Optics 2010/Laser Science XXVI
    Frontiers in Optics 2010/Laser Science XXVI FiO/LS 2010 wrapped up in Rochester after a week of cutting- edge optics and photonics research presentations, powerful networking opportunities, quality educational programming and an exhibit hall featuring leading companies in the field. Headlining the popular Plenary Session and Awards Ceremony were Alain Aspect, speaking on quantum optics; Steven Block, who discussed single molecule biophysics; and award winners Joseph Eberly, Henry Kapteyn and Margaret Murnane. Led by general co-chairs Karl Koch of Corning Inc. and Lukas Novotny of the University of Rochester, FiO/LS 2010 showcased the highest quality optics and photonics research—in many cases merging multiple disciplines, including chemistry, biology, quantum mechanics and materials science, to name a few. This year, highlighted research included using LEDs to treat skin cancer, examining energy trends of communications equipment, quantum encryption over longer distances, and improvements to biological and chemical sensors. Select recorded sessions are now available to all OSA members. Members should log in and go to “Recorded Programs” to view available presentations. FiO 2010 also drew together leading laser scientists for one final celebration of LaserFest – the 50th anniversary of the first laser. In honor of the anniversary, the conference’s Industrial Physics Forum brought together speakers to discuss Applications in Laser Technology in areas like biomedicine, environmental technology and metrology. Other special events included the Arthur Ashkin Symposium, commemorating Ashkin's contributions to the understanding and use of light pressure forces on the 40th anniversary of his seminal paper “Acceleration and trapping of particles by radiation pressure,” and the Symposium on Optical Communications, where speakers reviewed the history and physics of optical fiber communication systems, in honor of 2009 Nobel Prize Winner and “Father of Fiber Optics” Charles Kao.

    OFC/NFOEC 2013 Archive Technical Conference: March 17-21, 2013 Exposition: March 19-21, 2013 Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, CA, USA After five days of sessions, workshops, panels, show floor activities, short courses and special events, the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition/National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference (OFC/NFOEC) wrapped up in Anaheim, Calif. yesterday. The show featured more than 800 presentations, 550+ exhibitors and 12,000 attendees from around the world. Hot topics covered in technical sessions to post-deadline papers to show floor panels included software-defined networks, silicon photonics, 100G/400G network design, cloud and data center networking, and many others. OFC/NFOEC’s most well-attended program, the Plenary and Awards Session, featured three high-level speakers on three diverse topics. Caio Bonilha, president and CEO of Brazil’s state-owned service provider Telebras discussed the country’s efforts to establish a national broadband network amid varying challenges, such as deployment in and amongst the Amazon terrain. Stanford’s Nick McKeown, credited with co-inventing software-defined networking, gave insights into what exactly SDN and OpenFlow is and what it will mean for future networks. ADVA Optical Networking CEO Brian Protiva gave a comprehensive look at the coming transformation of the network – from growth drivers and state of the industry to specific solutions needed to meet future challenges. Hundreds of companies were on hand, showing their latest product offerings and services, and announcing the latest in areas such as 100G deployment, photonic integration, tunable SFP+ transceivers, data center interconnects, and new innovations on the client side .
