TECHNICAL PROGRAMME Optics + Optoelectronics 2019 - SPIE
Welcome
         It is our pleasure to welcome your participation at the SPIE 2019 International Symposium on Optics + Optoelectronics. The
         symposium offers multiple opportunities to advance your research. An excellent technical programme has been prepared,
         and organized within two-tracks, Emerging Technologies and Research with Extreme Light Sources.
         Close to 800 presentations prove that this event is recognized as an important forum for science, government, and indus-
         try to access and share information on optical technologies. The event focuses specifically on the research aspects of optics
         and optoelectronics science and technology, with a special emphasis on the existing and upcoming European and interna-
         tional laser infrastructures.
         The symposium features plenary sessions focusing on the current hot topics, fifteen conferences, and two workshops. With
         lab tours planned, the programme promises an exciting week, with excellent science and technology in a setting conducive
         to international interchange, networking, and exchanging ideas.
         The diversity and breadth of cultural, scientific and economic capacities of the city have contributed to selecting Prague
         as the host for Optics+Optoelectronics.
         We invite you to share the most recent developments and applications at SPIE Optics + Optoelectronics 2019. Explore the
         city’s history from the science perspective and discover the Prague footprints by Tycho de Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Ernst
         Mach, Bernard Bolzano, Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Jaroslav Heyrovský, or Otto Wichterle.
         Join your stay in the beautiful city of Prague!

                      Detecting light is central for a wide range of sci-
                      entific and industrial activities. Operating at the
                      quantum limit, at the single photon level is an
                      enabling technology for a wide range of emerging
                      quantum technologies. Superconducting nanowires
were shown in 2001 to be able to detect single photons, triggering an
intense experimental effort worldwide. The physical limit of these detec-
tors remains to be identified but is clearly very close from the quantum
limit, something that was never thought possible with previous detection
techniques.
One obvious figure of merit is the detection efficiency, high detection
efficiency results in short measurement times and can drastically shorten
complex measurements. Besides detection efficiency, time resolution is
another crucial parameter, often more important than detection efficiency.
                                                                                                 IN MEMORIAM:

Biography: John Collier is the Director of the UK’s Central Laser Facility
(CLF), based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory at Harwell, Oxford-
shire and part of the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC).
A laser scientist by training, Prof Collier initially joined the CLF as a research
scientist from CERN (where he was a Research Fellow), a position from
which he has grown to become the Director of the CLF about 9 years
ago. Prof Collier has played a central role in building the CLF into one of
the world’s leading research centres for multi-disciplinary science and
innovation using lasers, and establishing the CLF at the heart of major              Invest in

engineers and technicians in this endeavour, in activities that span the
scientific spectrum, working with the majority of UK universities, all five UK
scientific Research Councils, the European Commission, industry, charities,
other agencies of the state such as the Ministry of Defence, the National
Health Service, the Home Office and a wide range international partners.

PASSION FOR EXTREME LIGHT

                      Gérard Mourou, École Polytechnique (France)
                      2018 Physics Nobel Prize Laureate
                      Extreme-light laser is a universal source providing
                      a vast range of high energy radiations and particles
                      along with the highest field, highest pressure, tem-
                      perature and acceleration. It offers the possibility
                      to shed light on some of the remaining unanswered
                      questions in fundamental physics like the genesis of
cosmic rays with energies in excess of 1020 eV or the loss of information
in black-holes. Using wake-field acceleration some of these fundamental
questions could be studied in the laboratory. In addition extreme-light
makes possible the study of the structure of vacuum and particle produc-
tion in “empty” space which is one of the field’s ultimate goal, reaching
into the fundamental QED and possibly QCD regimes.
Looking beyond today’s intensity horizon, we will introduce a new concept that
could make possible the generation of attosecond-zeptosecond high energy
coherent pulse, de facto in x-ray domain, opening at the Schwinger level,
the zettawatt, and PeV regime; the next chapter of laser-matter interaction.
Biography: Gérard Mourou is a professor at the École Polytechnique in
France and director of the International Center for Zetta-Exawatt Science
and Technology, which is devoted to the study of high-intensity, ultrafast
laser pulses. He initiated the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) in Europe
in 2012 with its three pillars located in Czech Republic, Hungary and Ro-
mania. In parallel, he established the project Apollon in France, located on
the plateau de Saclay. The ELI and Apollon projects represent the largest
laser facilities in the world. Professor Mourou was a founding Director of
the Center for Ultrafast Optical Science at the University of Michigan. For
more than thirty years, Professor Gérard Mourou has pioneered the field
of ultrafast lasers and their applications in scientific, engineering and
medical disciplines. With his student Donna Strickland he is an inventor
of the Chirped Pulses Amplification (CPA) technique which allowed for
amplifying an ultrashort laser pulses to very high optical powers (presently
few Petawatts) with the laser pulse being stretched out temporally prior
to amplification. Adapted to the medical field, his work on the cornea has
led to new advances in refractive surgery of the eye and cataract.
He has been the recipient of the Edgerton Prize from SPIE, the Sarnoff Prize
from the IEEE, the 2004 IEEE/LEOS Quantum Electronics Award, 2005 Willis
E. Lamb Award for Laser Science and Quantum Optics, the Wood Prize from
The Optical Society, the 2009 Charles Hard Townes Award, the 2016 Berthold
Leibinger Zukunftspreis, and after receiving the French Legion of Honor in
2012 and the Frederic Ives Medal in 2016, he received the Arthur L. Schawlow
Award in Laser Science from the American Physical Society in 2018.
On 2 October 2018 Professor Mourou was awarded the Nobel Prize in
Physics for 2018.
