Conference Agenda

This tutorial will present the fundamentals of spatial light modulator (SLM) technology, their modulation configurations, and techniques for their characterization. It will also cover the design of diffractive optical elements and its realization with SLMs. The tutorial will include a practical demonstration.

Fiber optics provided a precursor technology towards joint communication and sensing tools. Performances achieved by this technology in terms of many key indicators (e.g., accuracy, resilience, reliability, sustainability…), is rapidly obtaining consensus in the healthcare area which is attracted by sound physical-based paths toward the often too intangible Digital Health.

Stefania's tutorial will provide an excursus on the research in the field from the methodological perspective to the prototypal implementation in biomedical field.

This tutorial will provide an overview of the Al2O3 waveguide platform and how it applies to a wide variety of technologies due to its broadband transparency and rare earth solubility. An in-depth summary of material fundamentals, processing and fabrication, and device operation will be discussed, as well as the applications and technologies enabled by the platform.
