IVth International SPIE Students’ Chapters Meeting in Torun

All members of Nicolaus Copernicus University SPIE chapter participated in IVth International SPIE Students’ Chapters Meeting in Torun. We were a organizing committee and few of us gave a talk during the meeting.

We cultivate the tradition which started in Wroclaw University of Technology (Poland) four years ago. This time the venue has been changed to Torun, the goal of the Meeting has always been – to exchange scientific experience by young researchers and to help students to make their first steps towards their future careers. The Meeting was focused on the field of optics and photonics. Our scientific forum, supported by the respectable invited experts, was a fertile soil for new ideas and solutions to grow. During the conference 7 professional scientists Chantal Andraud (SPIE invited lecturer), Maria L. Calvo (SPIE invited lecturer), Robert Huber, Henryk Kasprzak, Wieslaw Nowak, Maciej Wojtkowski, Artur Podhorodecki, and 29 students presented their lectures. Besides eight technical sessions, another one was focused on SPIE Chapters’ Activity. We could also participate in two professional workshops: How to prepare a great speech? given by Glenn Standish and How to develop optics industry? given by Anastasios Maurudis.

Szymon Tamborski and Karol Karnowski, - Hit the target- the workshop given by special quest Dirk Fabian from SPIE, Danuta

Bukowska and Daniel Ruminski 3. Discussion about sponsors which could support our conference. We pointed at persons

responsible for contact with them, for contact with another chapters and invited lecturers, for speakers’ travels and accommodation, for budget, for an advertisement, for formal letters, for invitations, for events, for lunches and breaks, for abstracts, for design of the poster, badges, book of abstracts, etc.

December 4, 11 2009

The visit of high school students under the project ‘Meetings in the optics laboratory’

We were visited by a group of students from the various high schools from our province. During this event our quests participated in the lecturer prepared by dr Anna Szkulmowska ‘Why you should study physics in our Institute?’. After that they could visit our laboratories and did some manual- optics work with our members: Danuta Bukowska, Ewa Kwiatkowska, Szymon Tamborski and Daniel Ruminski.

December, 21 2009

Christmas meeting.

January, 18-30 2010

We went to Konin to take a part in Demonstration Classes in Physics. More details later.

February, 9 2010

A participant election to the Annual Meeting 2009

There were two candidates:

Agnieszka Gorska Karol Karnowski

Both are very active members of our Chapter SPIE. They had to prepare the 15 minutes

presentation in English. All attendees voted. Both talks were professionally prepared. It was really

hurt to decide which of them should be the next president. We asked them why they wanted to

be the president and what idea of the chapter they had. Finally the new president of Nicolaus

Copernicus University SPIE Chapter would be Karol Karnowski.

He starts to serve in October 2010 after return from the Annual Meeting in San Diego 2010.

Demonstration of Optical harf

Mariusz Dazinski is a student of technical physics at the Nicolaus Copernicus University. He is very

active member of SPIE Chapter Torun. 2007 SPIE has awarded a $1000 scholarship to Mariusz. He

spent money for doing an “optical harp” In the project he used a pointing laser from which the

beam is split onto eight channels by a microscopic glasses. Each channel is equipped with a

phototransistor to detects the laser light. The beam from a single channel generate the

appropriate tone in a speaker. Whole device is controlled by a microcontroller which is also

responsible for generation the acoustic signals. Here is a final result of his work:

EVENTS AND PROJECTS

IVth International SPIE Students’ Chapters Meeting

14-16 May 2009

We cultivate the tradition which arose in Wrocław, Poland four years ago and has been successfully carried on since then. After three unforgettable annual meetings in Wrocław we gather in Toruo. Although the place changed, the goal of the Conference did not – to exchange scientific experience by young researches and to help students to make first steps towards their future careers. According to the SPIE mission, we all meet in the field of optics and photonics. This is what we are interested in and apply our skills to. During the conference 7 professional scientists (Wieslaw Nowak, PhD. - Photoactive enzymes and computers; Maciej Wojtkowski, PhD. - Application of Fourier domain OCT in ophthalmology - future developments; Robert Huber, PhD. - Recent advances in rapidly wavelength swept lasers for optical coherence tomography; Maria L. Calvo, PhD. - New emerging holographic techniques implementations in photopolymerizable glasses; Chantal Andraud, PhD. - Chromophores for biophotonic related applications; Henryk Kasprzak, PhD. - Interferometric evaluation of the tear film stability on the cornea and the contact lens; Artur Podhorodecki, PhD. - Optical Properties of Nanocrystalline Materials) and 29 students presented their lectures. Except for eight technical sessions, another one was focused on SPIE Chapters’ Activity.

The Demonstration Classes in Physics

The Demonstration Classes in Physics are a continuation of our educational project Back to School. In this year the Demonstration Classes in Physics were held at Konin, Poland in January 2010, and were hosted by the Regional Development Agency in Konin, which is a organization responsible for improving and broadening pupils’ scientific knowledge. Each year we run one free hands-on workshop for continuous professional development, where members of NCU chapter SPIE visit school on the periphery of the city and work in groups and individually on a creative project. The main idea of this meeting was to demonstrate the nature of the scientific enterprise through the process of prediction, experimentation, observation and explanation. The success key is to give pupils a chance to do all activities themselves and discuss about problems and exchange ideas on how to solve them.

Preparing the program we decided to use in the various activities cheap and commonplace materials allow for the activities to be tried again at home. Results of all activities could also be recorded on the worksheet. After each experiment a brief discussion arriving at an explanation of what happened ends the activity.

The program of one Demonstration Classes in Physics consisted of two parts: one hour performance and two hours hands-on workshop. Details of this event you can see below.

Show 1: Thermal expansion of metals

Show 2: The implosion of tin

Show 3: The suction of the egg to the bottle Show 4: An alcohol migration

Show 5: Properties of non-Newtonian fluid

Show 6: An explosion of flour

During the workshop students learn: Workshop I: Workshop II: How to find the focal length of a lens How to get the best magnification of objects

Workshop III: How to build a refracting telescope and use it

Workshop IV: Refraction of light

Workshop V: How to create 3D cinema at home using a filter, a pendulum and preparing film by us (Pulfrich effect)

During two weeks of January our activities involved 19 regional secondary schools, chosen from

Regional Development Agency’s priority schools list, 13 teachers (students and PhD student from

NCU chapter SPIE), 60 optical kids and 3 cars. We met with 1200 students, covered a distance

1500 km, and worked 143 hours very actively. We are full of optimism because we have a big

satisfaction of this event. I believe that project was a big success and we plan to do this again.

HIT THE TARGET

We cooperated with NCU OSA Student Chapter with preparation to Hit the target program. This

new one chapter in our University started in Hit the target grant competition. Their grant proposal

for Hit the target as part of LaserFest’s Laser Days program was approved We prepared leaflet and

poster. Here are results:
