An article written by Mike Foster, of the uOttawa Gazette, on China’s Vice-Minister of Science and Technology, Wang Zhigan's visit to the ARC photonics labs.

This workshop convened stakeholders from post-secondary institutions, industry, and government to discuss trends, challenges, and solutions related to translating technology from academic micro-nano technology (MNT) labs into production centres. This forum stimulated knowledge sharing and collaboration among organizations in the MNT innovation ecosystem—including the commercial manufacturing value chain, start-ups, academic and government nanofab facilities, and intermediary technology organizations—to position all parties for effective partnerships that enable efficient translation of proof-of-concept prototypes into production-approved process flows.

The 2013 Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering was held in Regina, Saskatchewan from May 5th to 8th, 2013 at the Delta Hotel and the University of Regina. CCECE 2013 provided a forum for electrical and computer engineering research and development from Canada and around the world.

CRPuO organized one day workshop at FSS 4007 at the University of Ottawa on April 19th 2012.

Paul Corkum, Bob Boyd and Pierre Berini are organising a summer school focused on extreme photonics and quantum photonics from May 21 to 25, 2013. We have an impressive list of talented speakers from Canada and abroad, in addition to a very low registration fee of $100.

OTTAWA — As a physicist, Paul Corkum was always intrigued to hear chemistry professors teach that one couldn’t take a picture of an electron zipping around an atom.  “They would say, ‘It’s not real… (To see the full text click here)

On Friday, November 9th 2012, Dr. Hall gave a speech at the first annual symposium on Photonics. The event, held by the University of Ottawa, hosted more than 140 physicists, students, and industry representatives in honour of Charles H. Townes and the late Arthur L. Schawlow.

Prof. Trevor J Hall participated in the 25th Entretiens Jacques Cartier conference as an invited speaker, presenting “Le Campus Digital”. The conference, which took place in Lyon from the 15th to the 21st of November, encouraged the exchange of ideas and research between Canada and France.

Prof. Kevin Heggarty, of the Département Optique at TELECOM Bretagne, is happy to announce the availability of a new PhD Thesis to start in October. Students are encouraged to visit their Career’s page for more information on the thesis, titled “Modelling, design, fabrication and large scale replication of deep diffractive optical elements for anti-counterfeiting applications.”

At 10:30 AM, Wednseday, May 16 2012, Dr. Ksenia Dolgaleva will present a seminar entitled “Integrated Optics: Promises and Challenges”.  The Quantum Photonics Seminar is to be held in GNN-080 at 30 Marie-Curie Private. See the attached presentation abstract for additional information.
