The Baltimore IEEE Photonics Society Chapter hosted an evening of technical presentations from early-career women in photonics. Consistent with the IEEE Women in Engineering’s mission of facilitating the global recruitment and retention of women in engineering and STEM, the goal of the IEEE Photonics Society’s Women in Photonics program is to create and promote activities that support the participation, engagement and advancement of women in the photonics and optics community.
Speakers Include Shannon Alt, PhD student at Johns Hopkins University, Integrated Photonics Lab.

Hongcheng will present two talks on “Coherent Mid-IR Supercontinuum Generation in a Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon Waveguide” and “Pump-Degenerate Phase-Sensitive Amplification in Amorphous Si Waveguides”.

Michael will present a talk on “End-Fire Silicon Waveguide Array as a Platform for High Power Beam Shaping and Steering”.

Kangmei will present a talk on “A High Speed All-Optical NAND Logic Gate Using Four-Wave Mixing”.

Kangmei will present her talk on ” All-optical NAND logic gate using four-wave mixing”.

Congratulations to Ke-Yao who successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation entitled “Nonlinear Optics in Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon(a-Si:H) Waveguides”.

Our new website is now powered by WordPress.

Three papers by Ke-Yao Wang are accepted for oral presentation at CLEO. He will present his work on utilizing the nonlinear effect in hydrogenated amorphous silicon to achieve FROG measurement, ultra-wide bandwidth optical parametric amplification (OPA), and optical parametric oscillator (OPO).

The National Capital Section and the IEEE Photonics Society jointly sponsored a poster competition at the University of Maryland. Winners of the poster competition were invited to exhibit their posters at the May meeting. Winners of the competition were:Ke-Yao Wang, “On-chip silicon-based widely-tunable optical parametric amplification (OPA) and optical parametric oscillation (OPO) for use at telecommunications wavelengths and beyond” JHU. (Prof. Amy Foster)First Prize.Keith Petrillo, “Full 160-Gb/s OTDM to 16×10-Gb/s WDM conversion with a single nonlinear interaction”, JHU. (Prof. Mark Foster) Second Prize Tie.Yi Yang, “Experimental Demonstration of Coherent OCDMA using Heterodyne Detection”,.JHU (Prof. A. Brinton Cooper) Second Place Tie.
