  • 58. Photonics at the Institute of Optics
    AJC-07.qxd 21/06/04 11:22 AM Page 303 58. Photonics at The Institute of Optics Dennis G. Hall During the first century B.C., the Roman poet and satirist Horace observed that once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled. And so it is that I find myself asked to write an essay about, of all things, photonics at The Institute of Optics. Such a request would have been unthinkable in the late 1980s, when some within the optics community were arguing that light was capable of ever so much more than an old-fashioned word like optics could communicate. The futuristic photonics, they admonished, projected a modern, exciting image that was big enough to convey both what the field had been and what it was destined to become. The broader field of photonics, they argued, would place the pho- ton on an equal footing with the electron, to usher in a new era in technology. Of course, if one already happened to have a great deal invested in the word optics, as did (and do) the members of the Optical Society of America (OSA) and the students, staff, faculty and alumni of The Institute of Optics, and if one already regarded optics as a field as big as all outdoors, then it was hard not to react to this upstart term photonics with some alarm. Where would this end? Would Emil Wolf be driven to change the title of Born & Wolf to Principles of Photonics? Would the University become the home of The Institute of Photonics? Inquiring minds in Rochester wanted to know! OSA members ended months of debate by voting in the fall of 1989 to retain the O in OSA, after which the entire issue receded into the background.

Simon Business School has built that reputation on its own ambition and creative initiatives—and on the over 50 years of accomplishment. With origins as a regional business school enrolling primarily undergraduate students, the Simon school has grown to an internationally acclaimed graduate institution. Today, nearly half of our MBA candidates come from other countries—the highest percentage of international students among many of America’s leading business schools. From an original Rochester business faculty of three members, Simon Business School has grown to a faculty of 72 renowned industry experts. Most are graduates of the nation’s top 25 business schools—including Chicago, Columbia, Harvard, MIT, Northwestern, Stanford and Wharton—among whose ranks Simon Business School is listed. Extraordinarily productive in research, our faculty is equally committed to teaching—another distinction of a Simon Business School education. Over the course of its history, more than 13,000 students have graduated from the School. They are managing, leading and contributing across a wide range of enterprises throughout the world: in business, government and nonprofit organizations, and universities: in finance, banking, manufacturing and marketing.

    Joel Seligman Report to the Faculty Senate October 18, 2016 Let me frame where we are in strategic terms and conclude by highlighting that we now are ready to ascend to the Next Level. Background [Opening SLIDE] We have come a long way since 2005 when we began together. [SLIDE 2] In 2004, we had 8,300 students; we now have more than 11,100 students, an increase of more than 33 percent. [SLIDE 3] Our average two-score-equivalent SAT for undergraduates in Arts, Sciences and Engineering has risen from 1304 in 2004 to 1391 today, an increase from the 87th to the 96th percentile. [SLIDE 4] We have grown from 2,009 faculty and instructional staff in 2004 to 2,560 today. [SLIDE 5] Our budget has grown from $1.66 billion in 2004 to $3.63 billion today. [SLIDE 6] Our endowment payout has decreased from 6.9 percent in 2000 to 5.7 percent this year. [SLIDE 7] We have grown from 20,041 full- and part-time employees in 2005 to 28,923 full- and part-time employees in 2016. [SLIDE 8] Where we once had two hospitals, we now have a six- hospital system as well as Accountable Health Partners with 1,940 providers, five urgent care centers, and three ambulatory care centers. 2 [SLIDE 9] The Meliora Challenge capital campaign concluded on June 30 of this year, raising more than $1.373 billion, 14 percent above our initial $1.2 billion goal. The campaign resulted in adding 103 endowed professorships, deanships and directorships, and providing more than $225 million in student support, creating 388 new endowed scholarships and fellowships during the campaign.

  • Principles of Nano-Optics
    PRINCIPLES OF NANO-OPTICS Lukas Novotny The Institute of Optics University of Rochester, Rochester, New York Bert Hecht Institute of Physics University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland to our families (Jessica, Leonore, Jakob, David, Nadja, Jan) .. it was almost worth the climb (B.B. Goldberg) ii PREFACE Why should we care about nano-optics? For the same reason as we care for optics! The foundations of many fields of the contemporary sciences have been established using optical experiments. To give an example, think of quantum mechanics. Black- body radiation, hydrogen lines, or the photoelectric effect were key experiments that nurtured the quantum idea. Today, optical spectroscopy is a powerful means to iden- tify the atomic and chemical structure of different materials. The power of optics is based on the simple fact that the energy of light quanta lies in the energy range of electronic and vibrational transitions in matter. This fact is at the core of our abili- ties for visual perception and is the reason why experiments with light are very close to our intuition. Optics, and in particular optical imaging, helps us to consciously and logically connect complicated concepts. Therefore, pushing optical interactions to the nanometer scale opens up new perspectives, properties and phenomena in the emerging century of the nano-world. Nano-Optics aims at the understanding of optical phenomena on the nanometer scale, i.e. near or beyond the diffraction limit of light. It is an emerging new field of study, motivated by the rapid advance of nanoscience and nanotechnology and by its need for adequate tools and strategies for fabrication, manipulation and charac- terization at the nanometer scale.
