Joseph Pankert
博士, General Manager Philips Photonics Philips Group Innovation
テーマ：”VCSELs in every car, every home and every mobile device”
9：15 – 9：55
Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (“VCSELs”) have been first demonstrated more than 40 years ago by Kenichi Iga. First commercial applications in optical data transmission were introduced more than 20 years ago, but it appears that true mass adoption of VCSELs is happening only now. The main drivers for this development are widespread use of VCSEL in optical sensors in mobile devices (proximity, auto-focus, identification) and the ever-increasing data traffic that requires optical interconnects even for consumer devices. Industrial robots and autonomous vehicles will drive another wave of optical sensors that most likely will rely on VCSELs.
The first part of talk will cover the main properties of VCSELs and its main applications. The second part will address current developments and potential new fields that VCSEL technology will conquer in the future.
Joseph Pankert is currently General Manager of Philips Photonics, a subsidiary of Royal Philips and one of the global leaders in VCSEL technology. In 1987, he received his PhD in Physics from the University of Technology in Aachen, Germany. He has ever since worked in different positions at Philips Research and Philips Lighting mainly on special light sources and lasers. Since 2008, he drives technology and business development of VCSELs and VCSEL-based solutions. Philips Photonics is currently serving sensor, datacom, industrial and automotive customers with VCSEL solutions.

テーマ：”ダイヤモンドのエレクトロニクスとフォトニクス：量子センサの応用”
9：55 – 10：35
ダイヤモンド中の窒素‐空孔中心(NVC)は、室温で単一スピンを操作・検出することが可能で，その状態を光検出磁気共鳴でイメージングできる特徴がある．また磁場，温度，電場，歪の物理量の検出，量子センシング機能を有する．さらに単一の原子スケールから，結晶内に高密度で生成した巨視的サイズまで，スケーラブルなセンサの実現が期待できる．本講演では、材料・物性・デバイスのコア技術、高度な量子計測技術、プロトタイプモジュール、そして生体イメージング、ナノスケールNMR、デバイス内部センサを中心とした応用を紹介する。今後は小型低消費電力の実用的なプロトタイプシステムの開発には、光励起・検出などの先端フォトニクス技術、そして信号処理・アナログ・高周波などのエレクトロニクスの両方が必要であり、技術レイヤーと分野を横断・融合した研究開発が重要であると考えている。

Lihong V. Wang
Bren Professor, Medical and Electrical Engineering at California Institute of Technology
テーマ：”Photoacoustic Tomography: Omniscale Imaging from Organelles to Patients by Ultrasonically Beating Optical Diffusion”
10：50 – 11：30
Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) has been developed for in vivo functional, metabolic, molecular, and histologic imaging by physically combining optical and ultrasonic waves. Broad applications include early-cancer detection and brain imaging. High-resolution pure optical imaging—such as confocal microscopy, two-photon microscopy, and optical coherence tomography—is limited to superficial imaging within the optical diffusion limit (~1 mm in the skin) in scattering tissue. By synergistically combining light and sound, PAT in the form of either photoacoustic computed tomography or photoacoustic microscopy provides deep penetration at high ultrasonic resolution and high optical contrast. PAT is the only modality capable of imaging across the length scales of organelles, cells, tissues, and organs (or small-animal organisms) with consistent contrast. The annual conference on PAT has become the largest in SPIE’s 20,000-attendee Photonics West since 2010. Also, wavefront engineering and compressed ultrafast photography (world’s fastest camera) will be touched upon.
Lihong Wang is Bren Professor of Medical and Electrical Engineering at California Institute of Technology. His book entitled “Biomedical Optics: Principles and Imaging” won the Goodman Book Writing Award. He has published 470 peer-reviewed journal articles and delivered 460 invited talks. His Google Scholar h-index and citations have reached 114 and 53,000, respectively. His laboratory was the first to report functional photoacoustic tomography, 3D photoacoustic microscopy, photoacoustic endoscopy, photoacoustic reporter gene imaging, the photoacoustic Doppler effect, the universal photoacoustic reconstruction algorithm, and CUP. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Biomedical Optics. He received NIH Director’s Pioneer and NIH Director’s Transformative Research awards. He also received the OSA C.E.K. Mees Medal, IEEE Technical Achievement Award, IEEE Biomedical Engineering Award, SPIE Britton Chance Biomedical Optics Award, and Senior Prize of the International Photoacoustic and Photothermal Association. An honorary doctorate was conferred on him by Lund University, Sweden.

Director, Accelerator Technology and Applied Physics Division, Director, BELLA Center Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
テーマ：”Experiments on laser plasma accelerators with the BELLA laser and exploring the path towards future applications.”
11：30 – 12：10
We will discuss the progress on building laser powered, plasma based particle accelerators where electrons surf on waves and can reach energy levels in a fraction of a meter that, if one relies on conventional methods, would require machines multiple football fields long. Although many challenges remain, this new technology is at the brink of offering a profoundly different way in which we may build particle accelerators such as those used in light sources, compact gamma ray sources, medical cancer therapy devices, and even colliders.
Dr. Wim Leemans is the Director of the Accelerator Technology and Applied Physics (ATAP) Division and Director of the BELLA (Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator) Center at LBNL. He obtained an electrical engineering (EE) degree from the “Vrije Universiteit Brussel”, Belgium in 1985, and MS and Ph.D. degrees in EE with emphasis on plasma physics, in 1987 and 1991 respectively, from UCLA. In 1991 he joined LBNL and, in 1994, started the LOASIS Program (now BELLA Center) in the Accelerator and Fusion Research (now ATAP) Division. His personal research interests are in advanced accelerators and radiation sources and application of these new concepts.
