In 2016, the news that Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) robot AlphaGo, based on the principle of deep learning, won the victory over lee Sedol, the former world Go champion and the famous 9th Dan competitor of Korea, caused a sensation in both fields of AI and Go, which brought epoch-making significance to the development of deep learning.
The extreme spectral broadening of light in supercontinuum generation (SCG) is considered by many as the ultimate legacy of nonlinear optics. In this interview, Light: Science & Applications invited John Dudley—pioneer of supercontinuum generation, rogue waves, and ultrafast lasers—to share insight on how supercontinuum generation have evolved over the past decades and where it is heading.
On October 28-29, 2021, the CIOMP-DOC Optics and Optical Engineering International Conference jointly organized by Changchun Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands was successfully held.
Adjoint Topology Optimization Theory for Nano-Optics, a book written by CIOMP’s researcher Deng Yongbo, has been published by famed publisher of science journals and tomes, the Springer Publishing Company.
Rising Stars of Light, initiated by Light: Science & Applications, is a worldwide campaign for the most shining young scientists in optics-related topics. Since 2018, it has been hosted for three years and received worldwide recognition with more than 6,000,000 audiences. In 2021, Rising Stars of Light was highlighted as a featured event by UNESCO’s International Day of Light.
In 2015, 195 countries of the United Nations proposed Sustainable Development Goals so as to alleviate the problems of climate change and global pollution. In France, there is a scientist dedicated to contribute providing solutions for above issues by virtue of MEMS, Lab-On-Chip and metamaterials. This expert is Prof. Tarik Bourouina, a Professor of Physics at ESIEE Paris, Université Gustave Eiffel.
