Welcome to

Left cover photo: Courtesy of National Institute of Standards and Technology.Quantum Daisy. Twelve cobalt atoms arranged in a circle on a surface of copper produce adaisy-like pattern from the interference of electron waves. This image was made with a one-of-a-kind instrument that, acting autonomously, picks up and places individual atoms anywhere ona surface. NIST scientists are studying the quantum properties of different atom arrangementsto help improve the design and fabrication of nanoscale devices.

LIGHTING THE WAY — Fromleft, Alex Fischer, head of ORNL’s Technology Transfer program, is shown with Jeff Muhs ofORNL’s Engineering Science and Technology Division, who developed the hybrid solar lightingtechnology, April 10, 2003. It allows the sun’s ray to light a room directly by using optical fibersto bring sunlight inside, and, in the future, indirectly by harnessing the remaining portion ofsunlight (mainly infrared energy) to generate electricity that can power the room’s light bulbs.

The establishment of the Women in Science andEngineering (WiSE) Program represents the seriouscommitment of the University of Southern California

to address the under-representation of women in science andengineering. Since the launch of the program in 2000 with a $20 milliongift to the endowment, WiSE has helped to more than double the numberof tenured and tenure-track women faculty in the natural sciences, math,and engineering at USC through its faculty recruitment and retentionprograms. Its complimentary programs to address “pipeline issues” insupport of undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoralscholars in these fields through a range of financial awards and activitieshave also grown in scope and impact. She will discuss the programsdeveloped and administered by WiSE to address the obstacles towomen’s success in academic science and engineering. She will relaythe perceived successes to date, and the challenges that remain instriving for gender equity in science and engineering at USC and beyond.

Biography: Jean Morrison is the vice provost for graduate programswith primary responsibility for oversight of the university’s graduate affairsand of the USC Graduate School. Since 2002, she has overseen theWomen in Science and Engineering (WiSE) program, which enables USCto address fundamental issues that hinder the hiring and retention ofwomen in science and engineering. Since the program’s inception in2000, the number of tenured and tenure-track women in these fields atUSC has doubled. A professor of earth sciences, Morrison is ametamorphic petrologist whose research addresses how the earth’scrust evolves over time. In particular, she studies the isotopiccomposition of rocks and minerals to understand the role that fluidsplay in fault systems. She served as an editor of the Journal ofMetamorphic Geology and as an associate editor of the AmericanMineralogist and the Geological Society of America Bulletin.

The Concept of the Photon: UpdatedMarlan O. Scully, Texas A&M Univ. andPrinceton Univ.

Abstract: The photon concept is one of the mostdebated issues in the history of physical science.Some thirty years ago, Sargent and I publishedan article in Physics Today entitled “The Conceptof the Photon,” in which we described the“photon” as a classical electromagnetic field plusthe fluctuations associated with the vacuum.However, recent developments view basic photon

physics as much deeper than simple ‘classical wave plus vacuumfluctuations’ picture. In this talk I revisit the photon concept basedon examples from these sources as well as recent work on Dickesuperradiance in the one photon limit.

Biography: Marlan O. Scully received undergraduate training inEngineering Physics and Nuclear Engineering from the University ofWyoming and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the Ph.D. inPhysics from Yale University in 1966. He has held faculty positionsat Yale, MIT, University of Arizona, University of New Mexico andthe Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik. He presently holds a jointappointment between Texas A&M and Princeton Universities.

He has been instrumental in many seminal contributions to laserscience and quantum optics. These include: The Scully-Lambquantum theory of the laser, the classical theory of the free electronlaser, the theory of the laser gyroscope and especially the theory ofcorrelated spontaneous emission noise quenching in such devices,the first demonstration of lasing without inversion and the firstutilization of coherence effects to generate ultraslow light in hotgases. Furthermore Scully’s work on quantum coherence andcorrelation effects has shed new light on the foundations of quantummechanics and yielded new insights into quantum thermodynamics.He has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, theAcademia Europaea, and the Max Planck Society and has receivednumerous awards including the Charles H. Townes Award of theOSA, the Quantum Electronics Award of IEEE, the Elliott CressonMedal of the Franklin Institute, the Adolph E. Lomb Medal of theOSA, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Alexander von HumboldtDistinguished Faculty Prize, and the APS Arthur L. Schawlow Prize.

Plastic Optoelectronics and Aligned CarbonNanotube Nanodevices

Liming Dai, Univ. of Dayton

Abstract: Polymers have long been used aselectrically insulating materials: after all, metal wiresare coated in plastics to insulate them. Variousconjugated polymers with alternating single anddouble bonds can now be synthesized with unusualelectrical, magnetic, and optical properties owing tothe substantial π-electron delocalization along thepolymer backbone. We have elucidated themechanism through which the conductivity of “I2-

doped” non-conjugated polydiene rubbers arises and demonstratedphotolithographic generation of conducting polybutadiene patterns foroptoelectronic applications. We have also developed various polymericlight-emitting diodes with novel features for multi-color emissions atordinary household current and synthesized novel dendritic andC[sub]60[/sub]-containing optoelectronic materials for flexiblephotovoltaic cells. Additionally, the discovery of carbon nanotubes hascreated new opportunities for material science and nanotechnology.Having conjugated all-carbon structures, carbon nanotubes alsopossess certain similar physicochemical characteristics as conjugatedpolymers, apart from their superior thermal and mechanical properties.For some practical applications, however, carbon nanotubes need tobe aligned/micropatterned, in a similar fashion as conducting polymersin optoelectronic devices. We have developed simple methods for thelarge-scale synthesis and micropatterning of highly aligned carbonnanotubes for various potential applications ranging from chemical/bio-sensors to field emitters for panel displays. We have also prepared novelaligned nanowires by either electrochemically depositing a concentriclayer of an appropriate conducting polymer onto the individual alignedcarbon nanotubes or chemically grafting polymer chains onto plasma-activated carbon nanotube surfaces whilst largely retaining the nanotubestructural integrity. The combination of the unique physicochemicalproperties of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes with comparableoptoelectronic properties of conjugated polymers has yielded someinteresting synergetic effects. In this talk, the above work will besummarized, along with an overview of some recent developments inthe field.

Biography: Liming Dai joined the University of Dayton in 2004 as theWright Brothers Institute Endowed Chair Professor of Nanomaterials inthe Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering with jointappointments as chemistry professor in the Department of Chemistry,and as Distinguished Research Scientist at the University of DaytonResearch Institute.

Optically Driven Mechanical Micro/Nanosystems in Classical and QuantumRealms

Halina Rubinsztein-Dunlop, The Univ. ofQueensland (Australia)

Abstract: The aim to build and apply optically drivenmechanical systems at ever smaller scale runs intomany problems. The use of the linear momentum andorbital and spin angular momentum solves manyproblems and provides means to drive such systems.Significant progress has been made by a number ofgroups in optically driven micromachines. Theultimate scale to which one can take such systems

according to classical mechanics depends on Brownian motion andfabrication. At increasingly smaller scale the quantum effects becomemore important. However these effects are not obstacles but ratherrepresent resources to be exploited in order to provide a way to thedevelopment of novel quantum technologies. The ultimate case is aBose-Einstein Condensate that can be created and manipulated on anatom chip.

High Performance Organic Electronic DevicesBased on Nano-Scale Engineering

Yang Yang, Univ. of California/Los Angeles

Abstract: Conjugated organic molecules andpolymers have known to have semiconductorproperty with solution processing capability. Thisunique combination enables a new class of electronicand opto-electronic materials and devices. In thispresentation, a detail investigation on the physicalproperties of conjugated molecules and polymers willbe presented. The understandings of the basic opticaland electrical properties of these molecules and

polymers have leaded us to the invention novel devices and/orimprovements of performance on existed device. For example, bycontrolling the interfacial dipole moment and the trap-state inluminescent materials, we are able to achieve nearly 40% internalquantum efficiency polymer LEDs. The concept of interface engineeringis similar to the quantum well structure adopted in inorganic LEDs;however, with the simple solution possessing capability in polymerdevices. On the other hand, the charge transfer and trapping conceptin “donor-acceptor” system leads to a novel nonvolatile organic memorydevices, which challenge traditional silicon flash memory. Finally, bycontrolling the polymer morphology, we have achieved the balance ofcarrier mobility between electrons and holes in our polymer solar cells,which has resulted 4.4% power conversation efficiency. In thispresentation, we will present the results from those devices and theircorrelation with nano-scale engineering.

Nanotechnology: New Tool for Diagnostics andTreatment of Cancer

Michael J. Heller, Univ. of California/San Diego

Abstract: Generally, molecular or nanoelectronicdevices and systems are envisioned as the morerevolutionary application of nanotechnology. Manyexamples of individual molecular components withappropriate basic properties including carbonnanotubes and various organic molecules withelectronic switching capabilities exist now. Theresearch focus is now on the development of a viabletechnology that would allow billions of molecular/

nanoelectronic components to be assembled and interconnected intouseful logic/memory devices and systems. In addition to electronicapplications, nanodevices and nanosystems with higher order photonic,mechanical, mechanistic, sensory, chemical, catalytic, and therapeuticproperties are also envisioned. To date, it has not been possible to designa synthetic model of these solid-state photonic transfer systems withthe efficiency of the biological system. The acceleration of a “molecularengineering” perspective may be key to enabling nanotechnology forcancer and other disease therapeutics, particularly if self-organizationor self-assembly based scenarios are required for the integration ofcomponents into the higher order devices and systems.

The Solar-hydrogen Economy: An AnalysisWarren Reynolds, CEO, Eco-Engineers, Inc.

Abstract: The 20th Century was the age of thePetroleum Economy while the 21st Century iscertainly the age of the Solar-Hydrogen Economy.The global Solar-Hydrogen Economy that is nowemerging follows a different logic. Under this neweconomic paradigm, new machines and methods areonce again being developed while companies arerestructuring.The Petroleum Economy will be briefly explored in

relation to oil consumption, Hubbert’s curve, energy ratio, and oilreserves.

There are four major driving factors for the establishment of the SolarHydrogen Economy, i.e. global warming, air pollution, national securityand the coming “Oil Crash”. The New Energy decentralization pathwayhas developed many progressive features, e.g., reducing thedependence on oil, reducing the air pollution and CO2.

The technical and economic aspects of the various Solar-Hydrogenenergy options and pathways will be analyzed as well as debunkingsome the “hydrogen myths”.

There are emerging Solar Hydrogen energy infrastructures in the U.S.,Europe, China and Japan. Some of the major infrastructure projects inthe transportation and energy sectors will be shown. An estimatedlogistic time-curve for the total conversion to the New Economy through2045 will be given.A proposed 200 MWe solar-hydrogen power plant for Las Vegas withselected energy options will be discussed.

Solar Hydrogen Production by Tandem CellSystem Composed of Metal OxideSemiconductor Film Photoelectrode and Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell

Hironori Arakawa, Professor, Tokyo Univ. of Science(Japan)

Abstract: Water splitting by photoelectrochemical cellhas such merits compared with powderphotocatalyst as a separate gas evolution of H2 andO2, a suppression of backward reaction of watersplitting and an efficient charge separation underapplied bias. We have investigated solar hydrogenproduction using mesoporous and transparent oxidesemiconductor films such as TiO2 and WO3 film

photoelectrodses. Photoelectrode composed of TiO2 film with 10µmthickness on FTO glass showed the photocurrent of 0.39mA/cm2 underboth applied bias of 0.4V vs RHE and solar simulator (100mW/cm2,AM1.5). This is equal to 0.32% STH and about 1L/m2 of H2 will beproduced under this condition. On the other hand, WO3 filmphotoelectrode showed the photocurrent of 1.3mA/cm2 under appliedbias of 0.9V vs RHE and solar simulator. This is equal to 0.43% STHand about 1.3L/m2 of H2 will be produced under this condition. Solarenergy conversion efficiency to H2 production (STH) was obtained fromthe following equation (1), η(%) =J(1.23-E)/I x 100 (1) where η(%) is aSTH in % and J is a produced photocurrent in mA/cm2 at E. E is anapplied potential in voltage. I is solar irradiance, that is, 100mW/cm2,AM1.5.

Then, tandem cell system was applied for water splitting under solarsimulator. Tandem cell system is composed of Pt wire, mesoporousand transparent oxide semiconductor photoelectrode such as TiO2 andWO3, and a Black-dye-sensitized solar cell (BDSC). We prepared twotypes of BDSC. The one was a single unit cell having Voc of 0.7V. Theother was two-series connected cell having Voc of 1.4V. In case oftandem cell composed of a TiO2 photoelectrode and a single BDSC,both H2 and O2 gas evolution were observed without any applying biasunder solar simulated light. STH was 0.52%, showing 1.5 times higherthan that of TiO2 photoelectrode system. A two-series connected BDSCdid not improve much in photocurrent and STH compared with those ofa single BDSC. However, in the case of tandem cell composed of aWO3 photoelectrode and a two-series connected BDSC, photocurrentand STH were much improved compared with that of a single BDSCsystem. The best STH was 2.4%, which was about 5 times higher thanthat of TiO2 tandem cell system. Other metal oxide semiconductorsystems will be also introduced.

Doug Rose, Director of Module R&D, SunPowerCorporation

Abstract: Worldwide production of flat-platephotovoltaic modules has increased dramatically,from 0.2 GW in 1999 to 2.4 GW in 2006, and isforecast to be 10GW in 2010. These productionvolumes, along with the recognition that moduledesign has a large impact on module value, cost,and ease of production ramp, have greatly increasedthe interest in module conversion (i.e., the processes

for taking cells and making a package suited for outdoor use). Moduledesign impacts the value of a solar module by affecting its energyproduction per area, life span, and physical suitability (e.g., mountingease and aesthetics) for its intended application.

This talk provides a brief overview of module conversion approachesand their impact on module value and cost. Analysis includes the impactof module efficiency and ease of mounting in various market segments.Results from SunPower Corporation are used to illustrate the many areasof intersection between the topics of this conference and module designand development. A production module with >19% total-area efficiency,a new interconnect approach, optical modeling, measurement of highcapacitance modules, energy production of modules, module reliabilitytesting, and reliability prediction are all described.

New Opportunities in ConcentratorPhotovoltaics with Low-cost, 40% EfficientMultijunction III-V Solar Cells

Richard R. King, Principal Scientist, PhotovoltaicCell R&D, Spectrolab, Inc.

Abstract: Photovoltaics for solar electricity generationhas been growing at a rate of over 30% per year forthe last decade, with over 1.6 GW of solar cellsproduced in 2005. Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV)systems using very-high efficiency multijunction solarcells, with roughly double the efficiency ofconventional flat-plate silicon solar panels, offer apath to bring the cost of solar electricity down still

further, to the point at which it is cost-effective to replace conventionalfossil fuel and nuclear power plants with non-polluting concentratorphotovoltaics. Recent experimental advances in III-V multijunction solarcell design have resulted in a metamorphic, or lattice-mismatched,GaInP/ GaInAs/ Ge 3-junction cell with 40.7% efficiency (AM1.5D, low-AOD, 240 suns, 25°C), the first solar cell to reach over 40% efficiency,and the highest solar conversion efficiency yet demonstrated for anytype of photovoltaic device. Device improvements in lattice-matchedCPV multijunction cells have now resulted in 40.1% efficiency, alsoexceeding the 40% milestone. Many of the high-efficiency devicestructures from the experiments leading to these record performancecells have been incorporated in lattice-matched production concentratorcells, increasing the power output of fielded CPV systems, with furtherexperimental efficiency advances planned for future generations of mass-produced concentrator cells. The value of these very high efficiencies isthat they reduce the cost of all area-related components of a photovoltaicsystem, such as glass, encapsulation materials, metal support structures,and semiconductor material of the cells themselves, opening widemarket areas for photovoltaics. Efficiency data from large-volumeproduction and long-term field tests of concentrator III-V multijunctionsolar cells will be presented. The impact of very high cell efficiency onoverall PV system cost is analyzed, plotting a route to large-scale, cost-effective implementation of concentrator photovoltaics at the multi-GW/year production level, and ultimately to meet a significant part of theworld’s ~1.7 TW demand for electric power.

Solid State Lighting: Illumination andCommunication

Ian E. Ashdown, Senior Research Scientist for TIRSystems Ltd. (Canada), Senior Software Engineer forLighting Analysts Inc., and President of byHeartConsultants Ltd. (Canada)

Abstract: The solid-state lighting (SSL) market is intransition from glitzy color-changing displays topractical white light luminaires that will compete withincandescent and fluorescent lamps for generalillumination applications.

With this change in focus, the SSL industry needsto better understand the needs of the architectural lighting community.More than just high-flux LEDs, we need to present SSL in the context ofa lighting system that includes:

• Light-emitting diodes

• Thermal management

• Optics

• Drivers

• Power conversion

We also need to understand what industry standards for photometry,colorimetry, lifetime and electrical safety requirements will be appliedto these systems, and to design SSL products that satisfy the luminairedesigner’s needs.

Most important, we need to communicate what high-flux LEDs cando, and to listen to what the architectural lighting community is saying.

Biography: Ian Ashdown is well known and widely respected for hiscontributions to the advancement of lighting technology. He is a Fellowof the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America who has writtenextensively over the past 30 years on lighting research and development.He holds over 40 patents and patent applications related to solid statelighting.His professional and personal interests have two common themes: anenduring love of mathematics and an endless fascination with light.These have led to explorations ranging from photometric theory andeigenanalysis to genetic algorithms and holographic techniques.

Ian is currently hard at work on two projects: 1) solid-state lightingresearch and development for TIR Systems; and 2) the next version ofLighting Analysts’ AGI32 and AGI Light lighting design software. Whenhe is not working, he prefers to hike at elevations above 8,000 feet inthe Canadian Rockies, where you can almost see his home in WestVancouver some 500 miles away.

Organic LEDs for Lighting ApplicationsJunji Kido, Professor, Yamagata University (Japan)and General Director, Research Institute for OrganicElectronics (Japan)

Abstract: Recent progress in organic light-emittingdevices (OLEDs) will be discussed. High externalquantum efficiencies (EQEs) of nearly 30% have beenrealized by using phosphorescent emitting materials.For the fabrication of such high efficiency devices,using wide-energy- gap organic materials, or hightriplet excited energy materials, are very important

to maximize quantum efficiency of phosphorescent OLEDs. The highluminous efficiency of 130 lm/W for green OLED and 60 lm/W for whiteOLED have been achieved. We developed novel OLED structures, calledmultiphoton emission (MPE) structure, comprised of multiple emissiveunits and charge generation layers (CGLs) connecting the emissive units.In the device, each CGL injects electrons and holes to the adjacentemissive units, resulting in connecting the emissive units in series. Thus,electrons and holes are generated in the device and recombine togenerate photons. Such charge generation process leads to theimprovement the quantum efficiency of the device. White light-emittingOLEDs with stacked structures were developed to improve drivinglifetime. In these OLEDs, required drive current can be much reducedand lifetime of over 300,000 hrs at 5000 cd/m2 was achieved. Luminaresusing such white OLED panels were demonstrated.

This work was financially supported in part by the New Energy andIndustrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) through the“Advanced Organic Device Project” and “Organic Lighting Project”.

Biography: Junji Kido has received his B.S. degree from WasedaUniversity, Japan, in 1984 and the M.S. and Ph. D. degrees fromPolytechnic University, New York, in 1987 and 1989, respectively. In1989, he joined the department of polymer chemistry in YamagataUniversity in Japan. He has been the General Director for ResearchInstitute for Organic Electronics founded by the Yamagata prefecturalgovernment since 2003.

Illumination Technical EventMarriott Mission Hills

Monday 27 August . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8:00 to 10:00 pm

Chair: R. John Koshel, Lambda Research Corp. and College of OpticalSciences/The Univ. of Arizona

We will present two topics: étendue and state-of-the-art concepts fordisplays. For the former, speakers from display manufacturers, such asPhilips, will be on hand to discuss such display topics as:

• LED displays,

• Visual experience of viewing displays, and

• Future trends in displays.

For the étendue topic, a panel with a moderator will be convened todiscuss this very important topic of illumination system design. Étenduedescribes the geometrical propagation characteristics of optical systems,and for illumination systems it provides a metric for design analysis andlimitations. This provides a physical limit analogous to that of thediffraction limit of imaging/lens design. For both topics, each presenterwill give a short overview, followed by questions from the audience. Ifyou would like to participate as a presenter in either of these areas, orpossibly in another area, please contact John Koshel([email protected]). At the conclusion of the planned agenda the floorwill be open to impromptu presentations and questions. Lightrefreshments will be served. We look forward to your participation.

Adaptive Optics Technical Event and PanelMarriott Coronado


Chair: Scot Olivier, Lawrence Livermore National Lab.

This meeting provides a forum for communication within the specializedfields of active and adaptive optics for scientists and engineers who areworking or interested in these and related disciplines, including sensortechnologies, control systems, real-time computing, optical andmechanical precision engineering.

This event will feature a keynote talk by Olivier Guyon from the SubaruTelescope on Adaptive Optics Techniques, Technology Developmentsand Future Needs for Extra-Solar Planet Detection. Adaptive Opticssystems dedicated to the direct detection and characterization ofexoplanets, (“Extreme-AO”) are now being developed for 8m-classtelescopes. More capable systems are also planned for the nextgeneration of large telescopes on the ground as well as for coronagraphicspace telescope missions. These highly specialized AO systemsincorporate very innovative techniques and hardware, and will be quitedifferent from current “general-purpose” AO systems. Dr. Guyon willreview the current state of “Extreme-AO” development and show thatseveral promising techniques, especially in high sensitivity wavefrontsensing and coronagraphy, point to a bright future for extrasolar planetscience with AO, both from the ground and in space.

A panel discussion with Dr. Guyon and other experts in this field willfollow.

Lens Design Technical EventMarriott Marina D


Chairs: Mary Turner, Breault Research Organization, Inc.; SteveJohnston, Photon Engineering, LLC; Rich Pfisterer, PhotonEngineering, LLC

Modern Lens Design Methods

Six completely different methods for designing and optimizing opticalsystems, starting from scratch, will be discussed. Many design exampleswill illustrate these methods of generating new designs, and some willbe demonstrated in real time during the talk. Systems shown range incomplexity from a 27 element lithographic lens to a very simple newtype of stereo viewer designed for Salvador Dali. Some design methods,like starting from a set of parallel plates, show a very surprising sensitivityto the exact initial conditions. A new and very simple type of perfectoptical system (no aberrations of any kind and it forms a flat real imageof a flat real object) was invented using no computations of any kind,using one of the six design methods. This material should lead to someinteresting discussions by the group.

About the author: David Shafer has been a lens designer for 41 years.He is a Fellow of the O.S.A. and received the SPIE Conrady Award in2005. Dave has had his own design and consulting business since 1980and mainly works with lithographic and wafer inspection designs. Hehas a special interest in using aberration theory to generate new typesof optical designs and in optimization methods. Dave is 64, but he readson a 66 year old level.
