put into operation at Jefferson Lab (Newport News, VA) in 1998 as a result of a unique public-private part-nership that brought together $80M of funding and an initial user group of ~ 100 scientists from the indus-trial, academic, and defense communities. The FEL has been used over the last decade for applications in the fi elds of materials processing, materials science,

biophysics and chemistry. In 2006, 14.2 kilowatts of cw operation was achieved at a wavelength of 1.6 mi-crons. The development and continual enhancement of this very useful tool, is due to a productive, ever-evolving tripartite collaboration, (www.jlab.org/FEL/). In my new role as Executive Director of the Ameri-can Institute of Physics, I am fortunate to continue the Institute’s history of fostering connections and creating strong ties among corporate, academic, and government leaders.

resonators Michael Douglass, Texas Instruments Inc.

In today’s high volume semiconductor world, one could easily take reliability for granted. As the MO-EMS/MEMS industry continues to establish itself as a viable alternative to conventional manufacturing in the macro world, reliability remains of high concern. There are several emerging opportunities right now in which MOEMS/MEMS is gaining a foothold. Markets such as mobile media, consumer electronics, biomedical devices, and homeland security are all showing great interest in microfabricated products. At the same time, these markets are among the most demanding when it comes to reliability assurance. To be successful, each company developing a MOEMS/MEMS device must consider reliability on an equal footing with cost, per-formance and manufacturability. What can this evolv-ing industry learn from the successful development of DLP® technology, air bag accelerometers and ink jet printers? We will discuss some basic reliability prin-ciples which any MOEMS/MEMS device development must use. Examples from the commercially success-ful and highly reliable Digital Micromirror Device will complement the discussion. Mike Douglass is a distinguished member of the

technical staff at Texas Instruments. He has been a re-liability engineer with TI since 1979 and has worked on a variety of programs ranging from defense systems to commercial navigation equipment. In 1992, he joined the Digital Light Processing® program to support reli-ability development of the Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) and DLP® technology. Mike received the Bach-elor of Science degree in electrical engineering from the University of Connecticut (1979) and an MBA from the University of Dallas (1985). He is a Senior Member of the IEEE Reliability Society, a member of SPIE and is a registered professional engi-neer in the state of Texas.

280 published papers. Dr. Craighead’s recent research activity includes the use of nanofabricated devices for biological applications. His research continues to involve the study and development of new methods for nanostructure formation, integrated fl uidic/optical

devices, nanoelectromechanical systems and single molecule analysis.

11:10 am to Noon High-resolution displays, one pixel at a timeRandy Sprague, Microvision, Inc.

The beauty of MEMS technology is that it allows one to consider system architectures not practical in the macro world. No where is that more true than in the design of MEMS based displays. Due to their inherent small mass, MEMS devices can be made to move at frequencies dramatically above their full size mechani-cal counterparts. This fact makes it possible to create a display based on scanning a single laser beam very fast in a two dimensional raster pattern to make an image, much like a CRT scans an electron beam. By modulating the intensity and color balance of this laser beam synchronous to the motion of the scanning mir-ror, beautiful full color images can be produced by an incredibly small display engine. The result is a much simpler MEMS structure with all the benefi ts that entails: higher yields, higher reli-

ability, smaller size, and lower cost. With this greatly simplifi ed projection architecture, it is then possible to construct a wide variety of displays from a common projection engine. These displays include very tiny per-sonal projectors for mobile devices, Head-Up Displays (HUDS) for vehicles, wearable near-eye displays, and soft-confi gurable instrumentation displays. This paper will discuss the technical challenges of making such an unconventional display engine, and how these chal-lenges have been addressed. Randy Sprague after leading engineering teams in the development of complex microprocessor systems for 17 years, Mr. Sprague entered the fi eld of MEMS

when he took on the leadership of AlliedSignal’s iner-tial MEMS guidance computer. It wasn’t long before he became more interested in this new MEMS component technology than he was in the rest of the computer. In the six years he spent leading the development of MEMS gyros and accelerometers for AlliedSignal, and later L3 Communications, Mr. Sprague became well versed in the design of high performance MEMS inertial sensors. He was recruited into the optical cross con-nect frenzy during the “telecom bubble” days. There he lead a design team responsible for controlling a mas-sive 1000 X 1000 MEMS optical cross connect switch. Overcoming the many challenges of such a complex MEMS system provided the necessary knowledge base for optical MEMS development. Mr. Sprague then joined Microvision to lead their MEMS scanner and photonic component development teams. He has been with Microvision for over fi ve years and now holds the

position of Chief Engineer. He is the principal inven-tor of Microvision’s unique bi-axial scanning mirror and was the main technical champion behind their current projection engine that is at the heart of Microvision’s numerous emerging display products. Mr. Sprague re-ceived his BSEE from Washington State University in 1978. He has been awarded 14 patents and has 25 published patent applications pending, almost all in the fi elds of inertial and optical MEMS.

8:40 amNanophotonics: from Photonic Crystals to PlasmonicsEli Yablonovitch, Univ. of California/Berkeley

Engineering design is sometimes inspired by Na-ture. The natural world is fi lled with crystals, periodic structures that interact with electron waves. Drawing on this analogy, photonic crystals are artifi cial, multi-dimensional, periodic structures that are intended for electromagnetic waves, instead. Such nano-photonic structures are now being designed and patterned into Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) to provide for commercial nano-photonic integration, as a component part of conventional CMOS circuits. Further optical frequency miniaturization will take us toward nano-plasmonics, metallic-wired electrical cir-cuits, running at optical frequencies. Eli Yablonovitch graduated with the Ph.D. degree

in Applied Physics from Harvard University in 1972. He worked for two years at Bell Telephone Laborato-ries, and then became a professor of Applied Phys-ics at Harvard. In 1979 he joined Exxon to do research on photovoltaic solar energy. Then in 1984, he joined Bell Communications Research, where he was a Distinguished Member of Staff, and also Director of Solid-State Physics Research. In 1992 he joined the University of California, Los Angeles. Then in 2007 he became Professor of Electrical Engineering and Com-puter Sciences at UC Berkeley. Prof. Yablonovitch’s work has covered a broad va-riety of topics: nonlinear optics, laser-plasma inter-action, infrared laser chemistry, photovoltaic energy conversion, strained-quantum-well lasers, and chemi-cal modifi cation of semiconductor surfaces. Currently

his main interests are in optoelectronics, high speed optical communications, high effi ciency light-emitting diodes and nano-cavity lasers, photonic crystals at op-tical and microwave frequencies, quantum computing and quantum communication. Yablonovitch was a Founder of the W/PECS series of Photonic Crystal International Workshops that began in 1999. (PECS VIII will be held in Australia in 2009.) He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Elec-tronic Engineers, the Optical Society of America, and the American Physical Society. Yablonovitch is a Life Member of Eta Kappa Nu, and a Member of the Na-tional Academy of Engineering and the National Acad-emy of Sciences. He has been awarded the Adolf Lomb Medal, the W. Streifer Scientifi c Achievement Award,

the R.W. Wood Prize, and the Julius Springer Prize.

He is recipient of several prizes and is Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC).

Technical EventHolography Technical EventTuesday 22 January . . . . . . . . . . . . .8:00 to 10:00 pmIn 1948 Dennis Gabor realized that the wavefront ema-nating from each point of a scene could be recorded by causing it to interfere with a background wave, con-verting phase difference into an intensity difference. The wavefront could be reconstructed by illuminating the recorded information with coherent light. Gabor termed this process holography, or whole record. The Holography Technical Event is involved with the whole record of research, engineering, and applica-tions in holographic optical elements, nondestructive testing, computer-generated holography, materials and processing, commercial and artistic applications of holography, and standardization issues.

Niyazi Serdar Sariciftci, Johannes Ke-pler Univ. Linz (Austria)Recent developments on conjugated polymer based photovoltaic diodes and photoactive organic fi eld ef-fect transistors (photOFETs) are discussed. The photo-physics of such devices is based on the photoinduced charge transfer from donor type semiconducting con-jugated polymers onto acceptor type conjugated poly-mers or acceptor molecules such as Buckminsterfuller-ene, C60. Potentially interesting applications include sensitization of the photoconductivity and photovoltaic phenomena as well as photoresponsive organic fi eld

effect transistors (photOFETs). Furthermore, organic polymeric/inorganic nanoparticle based “hybrid” solar cells will be discussed. This talk gives an overview of materials’ aspect, charge-transport, and device phys-ics of organic diodes and fi eld-effect transistors.

Furthermore, due to the compatibility of carbon/hy-drogen based organic semiconductors with organic biomolecules and living cells there can be a great op-portunity to integrate such organic semiconductor de-vices (biOFETs) with the living organisms. In general the largely independent bio/lifesciences and informa-tion technology of today, can be thus bridged in an ad-vanced cybernetic approach using organic semicon-ductor devices embedded in bio-lifesciences.

Intellectual Property Issues in High-Tech BusinessWS412Course level: IntroductoryCEU .35 $265 / $315 USD Tuesday 8:30 am to 12:30 pm

Intellectual property (IP), in the form of copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, ideas and patents, is of criti-cal importance in high-tech business. In today’s econ-omy, IP is an asset that high-tech companies seek to leverage to add to their bottom line, whether through li-censing or lawsuits. For many high-tech companies, IP represents their most valuable asset. Not surprisingly, the typical high-tech company’s level of technical so-phistication far outweighs its level of IP sophistication; yet both are needed to ultimately be successful in the high-tech marketplace. It is therefore imperative that employees of a high-tech company know the funda-mentals of IP and understand their role in the IP-related aspects of a high-tech business. The aim of this course is to provide the audience with an overview of the nu-merous IP issues related to high-tech business. Topics covered include: the basic forms of IP , developing an IP strategy, IP licensing, litigation issues, IP insurance, IP management, directed development and generation of IP , and patent mapping.

INTENDED AUDIENCEThis course is designed for technicians, engineers, sci-entists, managers and executives involved in high-tech business.

[6871-49]POSTERS-Tuesday . . . . . . Tues. 6:00 to 7:30 pmAll symposium attendees are invited to attend the poster ses-sions provided as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments while reviewing poster papers. Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Tuesday morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately following the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

All symposium attendees are invited to attend the poster ses-sions provided as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments while reviewing poster papers. Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Tuesday morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately following the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

Tues. 6:00 to 7:30 pmAll symposium attendees are invited to attend the poster ses-sions provided as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments while reviewing poster papers. Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Tuesday morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately following the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

All symposium attendees are invited to attend the poster ses-sions provided as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments while reviewing poster papers. Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-

view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Tuesday morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately following the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-

view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Tuesday morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately following the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

Tues. 6:00 to 7:30 pmAll symposium attendees are invited to attend the poster ses-sions provided as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments while reviewing poster papers. Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Tuesday morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately following the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

Tues. 6:00 to 7:30 pmAll symposium attendees are invited to attend the poster ses-sions provided as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments while reviewing poster papers. Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Tuesday morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately following the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be considered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from attendees.

Tuesday 22 JanuaryPOSTERS-Tuesday . . . . . . . . . . . Tues. 6:00 to 7:30 pmAll symposium attendees are invited to attend the poster ses-sions provided as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments while reviewing poster papers. Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Tuesday morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately following the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

Tues. 6:00 to 7:30 pm

All symposium attendees are invited to attend the poster ses-sions provided as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments while reviewing poster papers. Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-

view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Tuesday morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately following the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

POSTERS-Wednesday . . . . . . . . .Wed. 6:00 to 7:30 pmAll symposium attendees are invited to attend the poster ses-sions provided as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments while reviewing poster papers. Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Wednes-day morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately follow-ing the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

All symposium attendees are invited to attend the poster ses-sions provided as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments while reviewing poster papers. Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-

view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Wednes-day morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately follow-ing the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-

view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Wednes-day morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately follow-ing the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-

view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Wednes-day morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately follow-ing the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

All symposium attendees are invited to attend the poster ses-sions provided as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments while reviewing poster papers. Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-

view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Wednes-day morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately follow-ing the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

All symposium attendees are invited to attend the poster ses-sions provided as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments while reviewing poster papers. Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-

view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster ses2sions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Wednes-day morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately follow-ing the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

All symposium attendees are invited to attend the poster ses-sions provided as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments while reviewing poster papers. Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-

view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Wednes-day morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately follow-ing the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

Wednesday 23 JanuaryPOSTERS-Wednesday . . . . . . . . .Wed. 6:00 to 7:30 pmAll symposium attendees are invited to attend the poster ses-sions provided as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments while reviewing poster papers. Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Wednes-day morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately follow-ing the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-

view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Wednes-day morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately follow-ing the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

[6912-29]Tuesday 22 JanuaryHolography Technical EventTues. 7:30 to 9:00 pmIn 1948 Dennis Gabor realized that the wavefront emanating from each point of a scene could be recorded by causing it to interfere with a background wave, con-verting phase difference into an intensity difference. The wavefront could be reconstructed by illuminating the recorded information with coherent light. Gabor termed this process holography, or whole record.

The Holography Technical Event is involved with the whole record of research, engineering, and applications in holo-graphic optical elements, nondestructive testing, com-puter-generated holography, materials and processing, commercial and artistic applications of holography, and standardization issues.

Wednesday 23 JanuaryPOSTERS-Wednesday . . . . . . Wed. 6:00 to 7:30 pmAll symposium attendees are invited to attend the poster ses-sions provided as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments while reviewing poster papers. Each evening will represent a differ-ent set of conferences to promote opportunities for networking with colleagues in your fi eld. Attendees are encouraged to re-view the high-quality papers that are presented in this alternate format and to interact with the poster authors. Since poster sessions are technical events and part of the conference pro-gram, it is not appropriate for spouses and families to attend these events. Attendees are requested to wear their confer-ence registration badges to the poster sessions.

Poster presenters may post their poster papers Wednes-day morning starting at 10:00 am in the Civic Auditorium, and will need to remove their papers immediately follow-ing the poster session that evening. Any papers left on the boards at the close of the poster session will be con-sidered unwanted and will be discarded. SPIE assumes no responsibility for posters left up after the end of each poster session. Poster authors should be at their papers from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm to answer questions from at-tendees.

While electromagnetic waves cannot be localized in the regions with sizes signifi cantly less than half wave-

length, nanooptics is based on electric fi elds oscillating at optical frequency. From the positions of the interac-tion with matter and spectroscopy, such local optical fi elds mostly produce the same type of responses as electromagnetic waves. Elementary excitations that are carriers of energy and coherence in nanooptics are sur-face plasmons (SPs). These local fi elds cause a wealth of gigantically enhanced optical phenomena of which the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is the most studied and widely known. This one-day course will encompass the fundamental properties and applications of the surface plasmonics at the nanoscale. It will include coherent effects as-sociated with phase memory of the SPs, in particular, coherent control of nanooptical phenomena.

covered. Ultrafast (femtosecond and attosecond) phe-nomena are within the scope of this course. We will also include quantum phenomena associated with proper-ties of surface plasmons as quantum quasiparticles such as quantum generation and fl uctuations. Along

with fundamental properties of SPs, we will consider many applications of nanoplasmonics, in particular, de-tection of ultrasmall amounts of chemical and biological compounds, scanning near-fi eld optical microscopes or SNOMs, and nanolithography.

Photonic Crystals: A Crash Course, from Bandgaps to FibersSC608Course level: IntermediateCEU .35 $265 / $315 USD Wednesday 8:30 am to 12:30 pm

This half-day course will survey basic principles and devel-opments in the fi eld of photonic crystals, nano-structured optical materials that achieve new levels of control over optical phenomena. This leverage over photons is primar-ily achieved by the photonic band gap: a range of wave-lengths in which light cannot propagate within a suitably designed crystal, forming a sort of optical insulator. The course will begin with an introduction to the fun-damentals of wave propagation in periodic systems, Bloch’s theorem and band diagrams, and from there moves on to the origin of the photonic band gap and its realization in practical structures. After that we will cover a number of topics and applications important for understanding the fi eld and its future.

Topics will include: the introduction of intentional defects to create waveguides, cavities, and ideal inte-grated optical devices in a crystal; exploitation of exotic dispersions for negative-refraction, super-prisms, and super-lensing; the combination of photonic band gaps and conventional index guiding to form easily fabricated hybrid systems (photonic-crystal slabs); the origin and control of losses in hybrid systems; photonic band gap and microstructured optical fi bers; and computational

approaches to understanding these systems (from brute-force simulation to semi-analytical techniques).

LEARNING OUTCOMESThis course will enable you to:

• learn the fundamental concepts necessary for understanding photonic crystals• gain familiarity with the unusual phenomena and devices that have been enabled by photonic bandgaps, and the directions taken to achieve them in practice• understand the principles and perspectives by which

future applications in nano-structured photonics may be developed and describedINTENDED AUDIENCEThis course is designed for engineers and scientists who wish to understand how photonic crystals work and its potential applications to quantum optical devices and optoelectronics. It is aimed at those who have an un-derstanding of elementary electromagnetism and some familiarity with the applications and governing principles of optical devices.

This introductory and intermediate level course provides the basic concepts of bulk media nonlinear optics. Al-though some mathematical formulas are provided, the emphasis is on simple explanations. It is recognized that the beginning practitioner in nonlinear optics is over-whelmed by a constellation of complicated nonlinear optical effects, including second-harmonic generation, optical parametric oscillation, optical Kerr effect, self-focusing, self-phase modulation, self-steepening, fi ber-

optic solitons, chirping, stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering, two-photon absorption, and photorefractive phenomena. It is our job in this course to demystify this daunting collection of seemingly unrelated effects by developing simple and clear explanations for how each works, and learning how each effect can be used for the modifi cation, manipulation, or conversion of light puls-

es. Where possible, examples will address the nonlinear optical effects that occur inside optical fi bers. Also cov-ered are examples in liquids, bulk solids, and gases.

LEARNING OUTCOMESThis course will enable you to:

• understand and manipulate the Slowly-Varying Envelope Approximation (SVEA)• recognize what nonlinear events come into play in different effects • appreciate the intimate relationship between

nonlinear events which at fi rst appear quite different • understand how a variety of different nonlinear events arise, and how they affect the propagation of light • understand how wavematching, phase-matching, and index matching are related

• understand how self-phase modulation impresses “chirping” on pulses • understand basic two-beam interactions in photorefractive materials • develop an appreciation for the extremely broad variety

of ways in which materials exhibit nonlinear behavior.

Thin Film Optical CoatingsSC321Course level: IntermediateCEU .65 $470 / $570 USD Monday 8:30 am to 5:30 pmVirtually no modern optical system could operate with-out optical coatings. Much of any optical system con-sists of a series of coated and shaped surfaces. The shape determines the power of the surface but it is the coating that determines the specular properties, the amount of light transmitted or refl ected, the phase

change, the emittance, the color, the polarization, the retardation, including even the mechanical properties. Optical coatings consist of assemblies of thin fi lms of materials where interference properties combine with the intrinsic properties of the materials to yield the de-sired optical performance. They act to reduce the re-fl ectance losses of lenses, increase the refl ectance of mirrors, reduce glare and electromagnetic emission from display systems, improve the thermal insulation of buildings, protect eyes from laser radiation, analyze gases, act as anticounterfeiting devices on banknotes, multiplex or demultiplex communication signals, sepa-rate or combine color channels in display projectors, and these are just a few of their roles. This course em-phasizes understanding and takes students from funda-mentals to techniques for design and manufacture.LEARNING OUTCOMES

A pulsed terahertz (THz) wave with a frequency range from 0.1 THz to 10 THz is called a “T-ray.” T-rays oc-cupy a large portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between the infrared and microwave bands. However, compared to the relatively well-developed science and technology in the microwave, optical, and x-ray frequen-cies for defense and commercial applications, basic re-search, new initiatives and advanced technology devel-opments in the THz band are very limited and remain unexplored. However, just as one can use visible light to create a photograph, radio waves to transmit music and speech, microwave radiation (MRI) or X-rays to re-veal broken bones, T-ray can be used to create images or communicate information. This course will provide the fundamentals of free-space THz optoelectronics.

Requests for registration refunds must be received no later than 10 January 2008. All registration fees will be forfeited after this date. Membership dues are not refundable. SPIE Digital Library subscriptions are not refundable.

Audio, Video, Digital Recording PolicyIn the Meeting Rooms and Poster Sessions: for copy-right reasons, recordings of any kind are prohibited without prior written consent of the presenter in any conference session, short course or poster session. Each presenter being taped must fi le a signed writ-ten consent form. Individuals not complying with this policy will be asked to leave a given session and to surrender their fi lm or recording media. Consent forms

are available at the Speakers Check-In Desk.

In the Exhibition Hall: photographing or videotaping individual booths and displays in the exhibit hall is allowed ONLY with explicit permission from on-site company representatives. Individuals not complying with this policy will be asked to surrender their fi lm and to leave the exhibition hall.

Laser Pointer Safety InformationSPIE supplies tested and safety approved laser point-ers for all conference meeting rooms, and for short course rooms if instructors request one. For safety rea-sons, SPIE requests that presenters use our provided laser pointers available in each meeting room. If using your own laser pointer, have it tested at your facility to make sure it has <5 mW power output. La-ser pointers in Class II and IIIa (<5 mW) are eye safe if power output is correct - but don’t automatically trust the labeling. Commercially available laser pointers, red or green (or any color), could be incorrectly labeled as to their wavelength and power output. Presenters intending to use their own laser pointer for presentations are required to come to the Speak-ers Check-In Desk onsite and test their pointer on our power meter. If the pointer fails the safe power level you may not use the pointer at the conference. You will be required to sign a waiver releasing SPIE of any liabil-ity for use of potentially non-safe laser pointers.Use of a personal laser pointer at an SPIE event rep-resents user’s acceptance of liability for use of a non-SPIE supplied laser pointer device. Misuse of any laser pointer could lead to eye damage. In California, it is a criminal misdemeanor to shine a laser pointer at indi-viduals “who perceive they are at risk.” General Information

Underage Persons on Exhibition FloorFor safety and insurance reasons, no persons under the age of 16 will be allowed in the exhibition area during move-in and move-out. During open exhibition hours, only children over the age of 12 accompanied by an adult will be allowed in the exhibition area.

No Suitcasing Policy“Suitcasing” is the act of soliciting business in the aisles during the exhibition or in other public spaces, including another company’s booth or a hotel lobby. Please note that while all meeting attendees are invited to the exhibition, any attendee who is observed to be soliciting business in the aisles or other public spaces, in another company’s booth, or in violation of any por-tion of SPIE Exhibition Policy will be asked to leave im-mediately. Additional penalties may be applied. Please report any violations you may observe to show man-agement.

Unsecured ItemsPersonal belongings such as briefcases, backpacks, coats, book bags, etc. should not be left unattended in meeting rooms or public areas. These items will be subject to removal by security upon discovery.
