SPIE Romanian Student Chapter

Connecting minds. Advancing light.

Activities

Six memebers of our chapter attended the IV International SPIE Students' Chapters Meeting that took place in Torun, Poland during 14 - 16 May, 2009.

The following presentations were presented at this meeting:

1. Thin films of rare earth magnetic alloys processed by laser and plasma assisted techniques

2. Calibration reproducibility of optical fibers power meters

3. Studies on zirconia thin films deposited by pulsed laser ablation

4. Amyloid fibrils thin films obtained by MAPLE process

5. Morphological properties of thin films deposited by pulsed laser ablation

6. Calibration transfer of laser power in the visible spectral range

Professor Mauro F Pereira visited our chapter for a few days and presented an interesting lecture on the 2^nd of March 2009, entitled "21^st Century Optical Engineering: Manipulating Nonequilibrium Many Body Effects to Create new THz Devices". You can find some pictures with our guest bellow. There is also some information in the report about the event.

Eight memebers of our chapter will attend the 3rd International Student Chapter Meeting that will take place in Wroclaw (Poland) between 7-10 May, 2008.

The following presentations will be presented at this meeting:

1. White light interferometery for height artifact calibration specimen

2. Traceable measurement of lateral calibrators for nanoscale observation instruments

3. Vibrations mode viewing with DSPI

4. Thin Films of metal-organic complex systems deposited by MAPLE (Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation)

5. Versatile spectroscopic ellipsometry to characterize various material thin films: Principle and application

6. Fourier transform digital holography

7. Structural and spectroscopical characterization of RE3+ (RE = Er, Eu, Tb) doped nanocrystaline YAG/YVO4 produced by a sol-gel method/ precipitation method

8. Femtosecond laser processing of polymers using two-photon photopolimerization technique

During the INDLAS Conference, held in Bran (Romania) between 20-23 May 2008 the Romanian Student Chapter Meeting is intended to take place.

In 2004, July 5-6 the Romanian Spie Student Chapter hosted SPIE president, Mr. James Bilbro.

On 20-24 October, 2003 three members of our Chapter participated at the International Conference for Students, Young Scientists and Engineers on optics in Sankt Petersburg.

In September 5-6, 2003 our Chapter participated in the organisation of ROMOPTO Conference held in Constanta, Romania.
