Annual Reports
2008 Annual Report
The eighth Annual Symposium of the Stanford Photonics Research Center (SPRC) will be held September 15 to September 17 in the Hewlett Teaching Center on the Stanford University campus. The SPRC Symposium will feature invited talks on a wide range of photonics research topics presented by leading researchers from around the world. In addition, several SPRC faculty and student members will present the latest results from their research efforts. The Symposium will begin with opening remarks by the Executive Director of SPRC Dr. Thomas M. Baer at 8:00 AM on Monday, September 15.
2007 Annual Report
The seventh Annual Symposium of the Stanford Photonics Research Center (SPRC) will be held jointly with the Optical Society of America and its annual meeting in mid-September 2007. This special arrangement is a change in the usual three-day SPRC symposium. We believe that attendees will benefit from the joint program to be held at Stanford on Saturday and Sunday September 15 and 16, 2007, as well as a special Joint Session on Frontiers in Optics, to be held at the Fairmont Hotel, San Jose, California on Monday, September 17, 2007. The OSA Annual meeting and Frontiers in Optics sessions will continue through the week of September 17 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose. Joint registration for both the OSA Annual meeting and the SPRC Symposium is available.
2006 Annual Report
Welcome to the sixth annual Symposium of the Stanford Photonics Research Center (SPRC). The symposium covers an extensive but currently very interesting range of topics in photonics, and will be held from September 18 – 20, 2006 at the Fairchild Auditorium on Stanford Campus. Topics that will be presented include a plenary talks on Electromagnetically Induced Transparency by Professor Michael Fleischhauer and on Quantum bits and quantum wires in solid state by Professor Mikhail Lukin, Harvard University. Invited talks on Spin manipulation in Quantum Dots by Professor Atac Imamoglu and on Molecular Modulation in Gasses and Solids by Professor Ålexei Sokolov will be presented as part of the session on Fundamental Physics. The program will include talks by invited speakers on advances in microscopy, bioscience, and ophthalmology. The program includes sessions on current “hot topics” such as solar cells in a session organized by Professor Mike MeGehee, and a session on Meta Materials organized by Professor Shanhui Fan. These sessions are complimented by sessions on ultrafast physics and photon sciences, high-powered fiber lasers, and nonlinear optics. The goal is to provide an informative and exciting program in photonics that explores both breakthrough ideas and topics relevant to applications.
2005 Annual Report
The fifth Annual Symposium of the Stanford Photonics Research Center (SPRC), held on Stanford campus from Monday September 19 to Wednesday September 21, 2005, will cover an extensive range of topics under Photonics broadly interpreted. Topics that will be presented include quantum cryptography, nano/bio sensing, nonlinear microscopy, silicon photonics/nanoparticles, slow light, long-wavelength lasers, high-powered lasers, fiber lasers, and ultrafast & nonlinear optics.
2004 Annual Report
The fourth Annual Meeting of the Stanford Photonics Research Center (SPRC), held on Stanford campus from Monday September 13 to Wednesday September 15, 2004, will cover an extensive range of topics under the rubric Photonics. Ranging from fundamental science, with an emphasis on quantum computing, to nanophotonics, session topics extend to single molecule spectroscopy, organic optical materials, image acquisition, optical communications, biophotonics, ultrafast devices and applications, nonlinear optics, and fiber optic and high power lasers.
2003 Annual Report
The third annual meeting of the Stanford Photonics Research Center (SPRC) will be held on September 15 – 17, 2003 at Stanford University. The meeting embraces a range of fundamental and applied sciences and engineering that fall under a broad definition of photonics. The range of activities considered at the meeting include nanoscale electronics and photonics, biophotonics, telecom, optical interconnects and optical MEMS, ultrafast optics, and advanced lasers and nonlinear materials. The three-day meeting includes contributions from invited speakers and from Stanford faculty and students.
During the past year three themes in photonics are evident as providing new opportunities for the field. First is the rapid growth in nanophotonics that includes new physical effects and devices at scales down to 10nm. The potential for novel telecommunication devices at the nanometer scale is being explored as is novel photonic materials with properties engineered to accomplish specific tasks related to the emission and control of light.
2002 Annual Report
The second annual meeting of the Stanford Photonics Research Center, SPRC will be held on the Stanford University campus from the 16th to the 18th of September, 2002. Our second SPRC meeting shows the substantial growth in photonics at Stanford during the past year. The meeting has been extended to three full days to encompass all of the activities that come under the term "photonics."
2001 Annual Report
The annual meeting of the Stanford Photonics Research Center will be held on September 14 and 15, 2001. This is the first annual corporate affiliates meeting for the Stanford Photonics Research Center, SPRC. The SPRC incorporates and extends the long standing Center for Nonlinear Optical Materials (CNOM). The change in name reflects the expanded program that incorporates research and applications in photonics, broadly defined. Stanford has long had an outstanding program in optics, optoelectronics, quantum electronics, and recently in the rapidly growing areas that are best described by the term photonics. This meeting incorporates contributions from a dozen Stanford faculty members and their students. The meeting includes invited presentations by a number of world leading scientists and engineers in the field of photonics.
