Bringing holograms and laser light shows to science class - Where the papier-mâché volcano and Styrofoam solar system once won first place at science fairs, photonics projects will now reign supreme. Photonics - the branch of science that deals with generation, manipulation, and transport of light energy - has a hand in everything from laser surgery to holograms to the making of CDs. About 350,000 photonics technicians were employed in the United States in 1994, and the number is expected to exceed 740,000 this year, according to the Center for Occupational Research and Development. But that has leaders in industries such as manufacturing, defense, medicine, and telecommunications wondering if enough people will have the skills and interest to fill these jobs in the future. That's where Project PHOTON comes in.

Extractions: Dr. David J. McGee- faculty advisor My research focuses on photonics, with emphasis on lasers, holography, and photorefractive nonlinear optics. Photonics is the study of light and its interaction with matter. The applications of photonics such as fiber optic networks and CDs are transforming the technological landscape in ways similar to the electronic revolution of the past fifty years. At Drew, I run the photonics laboratory and provide many opportunities for students to work in the lab, including multidisciplinary projects with chemistry and computer science. Student projects span the range from Independent Study courses, Honors theses, paid summer internships with the Drew Summer Science Institute, and paid summer research assistantships through external grants. Recent projects involved the fabrication of organic films for 3-D holography and the application of these films in holographic data storage devices. There is also continuing development of innovative instructional laboratory experiments in nonlinear optics, laser spectroscopy, and image processing as part of the junior-senior Advanced Lab course for physics majors/minors. I encourage students to experience work in the photonics lab every chance they get- it provides exposure to the technologies not covered in courses, but which employers and graduate schools are seeking.

How Does Light Bend Light? All the current photonics technology uses electronics to generate and and change in time in response to changing light images are called dynamic holograms. http://www.physics.purdue.edu/~nolte/Bending.html
Extractions: Take two flashlights at night and cross them. You know that the light beams pass right through each other, right? As we all know, this is because Maxwell's equations (the equations of light) are linear. Light cannot interact with light usually. But it can under the right circumstances. Now take a single laser and split it into two coherent beams of photons. If these laser beams cross inside a type of a nonlindar crystal, they mutually influence each others propagation. In some cases, one beam will donate its photons to the other beam. This results in nonreciprocal energy transfer between the beams, and constitutes one of the few instances of optical amplification without stimulated emission. The control of light by light is the optical analog of the control of electgrons by electrons in transistors. One of the great challenges facing quantum optics today is the search for the appropriate medium in which photons can control photons. The discovery of such a medium would open to way for photonic computers. The electronic revolution of the 1960's is now giving way to the photonics revolution. Almost all high-data-rate systems in use today use photons to carry information. Even microprocessors in your personal computers are on the verge of using photonics to bus information and to provide masssively parallel interconnections. Hybrid electronic/photonic microprocessors are only about 5 years away from the marketplace.

Final Report to the National Science Foundation, Instrumentation for Laboratory Improvement Program Special Announcement: You will encounter challenging puzzles and explore new and exciting physical phenomena. You will be provided with sufficient tools, guidance and other re-sources, but what you learn depends on your inquisitiveness and creativity. This laboratory course is designed to serve two purposes: 1) To introduce and explore a va-riety of physical principles using the fascinating and diverse behavior of light. 2) To learn some of the principles behind the pervasive and expanding area of optical and laser tech-nology. This course is suitable for students of science, life sciences, and engineering, or any student who is curi-ous about light. The prerequisites are the level of quantitative sophomore physics 142 or 212 Electricity and Magnetism, or an equivalent background which includes basic electricity, magnetism and optics. A quantitative laboratory course in the sciences or in engineering is also a prereq-uisite. Lasers and modern optics are perhaps the fastest growing areas of scientific research and technological development. Most professionals in physics, astronomy, other sciences, and most engineering disciplines will employ lasers or modern optical technology at some point in their careers. For example, lasers are used in astronomy, biology, chemistry, dentistry, entertainment, forestry, geology, holography, inspection, laproscopy, medicine, nuclear physics, ophthalmology, physics, recycling, surgery, telecommunications, urology, video, welding, xerography, zoology-the list goes on and on.

Extractions: Electro-Optics Program Physics Department, San Diego State University Professor Jeffrey Davis - Director (619)-594-6158 - jdavis@sciences.sdsu.edu The Electro-Optics option at SDSU provides students with a B.S. or M.S. degree in physics with an emphasis in Electro-Optics. The program has been in existence since the early 1970's and has achieved national recognition at both the undergraduate and M.S. levels. Because you obtain a B.S. or M.S. degree in Physics, you will have all of the math and physics courses that are normally associated with these degrees. Note that SDSU does not offer a Ph.D. degree and consequently our B.S. and M.S. students can be assured of receiving all of our attention. The Electro-Optics option program consists of two lecture courses, a lab and a thesis project. An introductory lecture course provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of optics while an advanced lecture course covers specialized topics including laser physics, optical pattern recognition, and nonlinear optics. The laboratory forms the basic strength of the program and serves several purposes. Our main goal is to introduce students to several important topics that contain a lot of physics and are important in the discipline. We also help develop the student's abilities to work independently. Finally, formal reports are required for each experiment, allowing students to perfect their technical writing skills. Finally, each student is required to do a thesis.
Extractions: Professor Denning said: "By analogy with electronics the complex optical systems required are called photonics, because they use photons in place of electrons but, because it is much harder to control the flow of light than an electrical current, their development has been slow. The outlook has recently been transformed by the invention of a new type of device, the photonic crystal. This acts like an optical insulator, and allows the components that handle optical data to be reduced to microscopic sizes. They can then be densely packaged like electronic circuits in a silicon chip. Unfortunately, the methods used for making electronic chips are not well suited to these new devices. Current manufacturing techniques can only create devices featuring 2-dimensional photonic crystals. However Professors Denning and Professor Turberfield, from the Chemistry and Physics Departments in Oxford, have now found a simple way of using a laser to make the perfectly regular microscopic patterns that are required for 3-dimensional photonic crystals. Their method creates a promising route towards the photonic systems of the future. Professor Denning said: 2-dimensional photonic crystal structures are easier to make, but diffraction at the edges of the holes that form the pattern leads to the loss of some light. Although this can be made quite small, it cannot be removed completely. In a 3-dimensional structure, confinement of the light is omnidirectional, so no losses can occur. Defining waveguides and cavities within a 3-dimensional structure makes much larger component densities possible, just like the advantage of a multilayer circuitboard over a single layer one.

However, there are a number of initiatives aimed at addressing these shortages. The Columbia Career Center high school SPIE chapter in Missouri, USA, has recently created an educational CD-ROM to teach holography to students, to interest them in following career paths in optics and photonics. . These include problem solving, teamwork, safety, communication, research, mathematics, analysis of data, documentation, equipment handling, and knowledge of light theory, which involves the principals of reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference and polarization. All of these skills are essential to the photonics industry and, as a result, holography is considered by the Center for Occupational Research and Development (CORD) to be a national photonics skill standard for LEOTs.
Holographic Data Storage onto laser beams and to detect the illuminated holograms (7). However for the best filament for the incandescent light bulb. Rochester photonics (Rochester, NY http://www.duke.edu/~bsb3/physics/physics.htm
Extractions: Abstract: 1995 marked the beginning of a five year, 32 million dollar joint university/government/corporation research effort to develop "holographic data storage systems that can hold more than 12 times the information of today's largest magnetic hard disk drives and maintain data input and output rates more than 10 times faster than is possible today." ( ). The Holographic Data Storage System (HDSS) program has now been in full force for the past three years, producing significant results. This study deals with the physics behind holographic data storage, and presents the major advances the program has made to date, while speculating on its future. Introduction: As I sit at my computer contemplating what I am going to do about my lack of hard drive space (I am sitting on a mere 100 megs or so), I can only drool at the thought of one day owning a holographic data storage drive that will store in excess of a terabyte of data. One terabyte of data; that's one-thousand gigs, or one million megs, or one trillion bits, or what-have-you. To put this amount of information into perspective, MasterCard currently runs a warehouse (yes, a warehouse) that stores a terabyte of data. This warehouse serves their 22,000 institutions worldwide by giving them access to card holders information, i.e. such-and-such transaction made on such-and-such date ( ). And to believe that this amount of information will soon be stored in a medium the size of a sugar-cube is unthinkable. To even believe that such a possibility exists one must first venture into the physics behind the system...
