Penetrating Radiation Technical Event
Marriott Hotel - Ballroom
Tuesday 12 August. 8:00 to 10:00 pm Chair: Warrick J. Keman, Pacic Northwest National Lab. Special Presentation: Aspects of detector development for neutrinoless double beta decay experiments Dr. John L. Orrell, Pacic Northwest National Lab. The event brings together technologists and scientists with interests in neutron, x- and gamma-ray detection, spectroscopy, and imaging for all applications.
Changes in the spin rate of Saturns moon Titan indicate that it may also harbor a 300 km thick liquid water ocean beneath its icy crust. NASA Deep Impact probe has shown that the nucleus of comet Temple 1 is much hotter than previously thought and that geyserlike jets frequently erupt from the surface spewing water vapor, dust, and portions of the black crust into space. A spectrometer on the spacecraft detected a mixture of clay and carbonate minerals (that form in the presence of liquid water) streaming off the comet after the collision with the 370 kg impactor. These observations combined with new knowledge about the ability of microbial extremophiles to thrive in the Antarctic ice and permafrost suggest that Life may be far more widely distributed in the Cosmos than previously thought possible. This Panel will review recent discoveries and provide their own insights into these intriguing questions. The audience will be encouraged to participate in a question and answer session with the Panelists.

Optomechanical/Instrument Technical Event
Tuesday 12 August. 8:00 to 10:00 pm Chair: Alson E. Hatheway, Alson E. Hatheway Inc. This is the annual meeting of the premier group of optomechanical engineers that design and analyze the worlds optical instruments and systems. Our feature speaker will be Dr. Jason Spyromilio, head of the European Extremely Large Telescope project ofce at the European Southern Observatory, who will discuss: Optomechanical Challenges of the Forty-two Meter European ELT The 42-m European Extremely Large Telescope is in the detailed design phase. Planned for a construction start in 2010 it will be the biggest astronomical telescope ever built and with a projected construction budget of 1.2 Billion US$ one of the most expensive scientic projects on the horizon. The 948 primary mirror segments combined with a novel optical train including a 2.5-m adaptive deformable mirror built into the telescope, it will excel in image quality and deliver unparalleled performance to its users. The presentation shall detail the current stage of the design and discuss the challenges posed by a telescope with more than 1000-m2 of collecting area and in particular areas where industrial developments are needed or would be greatly benecial. This gathering is open to all attendants to the Optics and Photonics Symposium. Anyone who wishes to put an item on the agenda should contact the Chair [Al Hatheway: aeh@aehinc.com]. One agenda item will certainly be the advance planning of our biennial conference on Optomechanics for next years (2009) Optics and Photonics symposium. Following the speakers and other agenda items the oor will be open for our traditional Problems and Solutions Workshop session so bring some challenges before the group.

Life in the Cosmos

Tuesday 12 August. 8:00 to 10:00 pm Panel Moderators: Richard Hoover, NASA Marshall Space Flight Ctr. and Jack Farmer, Arizona State Univ. Panelists: Michael H. Engel, Univ. of Oklahoma; E. J. Gibson, Jr., NASA Johnson Space Ctr.; Gilbert Levin, Arizona State Univ.; Alexei Yu. Rozanov, Paleontological Institute (Russia); Michael C. Storrie-Lombardi, Kinohi Institute; Nalin Chandra Wickramasinghe, Cardiff Univ. (United Kingdom) Liquid water is essential to all life forms known on Earth. Astrobiologists have adopted the mantra Follow the Water as a guide to where they should search for evidence of life in the Cosmos. The European Space Agencys Mars Express Spacecraft has found evidence for a frozen lake and sea on Mars. The Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding (MARSIS) probe has discovered a 1000 km diameter giant dome mainly composed of water ice on the South Polar region. The volume of water in this deposit was estimated to be 1.6 million cubic kilometers, enough to cover the entire planet in a global water layer 11 meters thick. The NASA/ESA/Italian Space Agency Cassini Spacecraft has provided dramatic images of water geysers erupting from regions near the South Pole of Saturns tiny moon Enceladus. In addition to plumes of water vapor, the geysers contain methane, carbon dioxide and organics. The high temperatures observed, the water vapor and large number of ice particles expelled suggest that a liquid water lake may exist beneath the tiger stripe ice cracks of Enceladus. Changes in the spin rate of Saturns moon Titan indicate that it may also harbor a 300 km thick liquid water ocean beneath its icy crust. NASA Deep Impact probe has shown that the nucleus of comet Temple 1 is much hotter than previously thought and that geyserlike jets frequently erupt from the surface spewing water vapor, dust, and portions of the black crust into space. A spectrometer on the spacecraft detected a mixture of clay and carbonate minerals (that form in the presence of liquid water) streaming off the comet after the collision with the 370 kg impactor. These observations combined with new knowledge about the ability of microbial extremophiles to thrive in the Antarctic ice and permafrost suggest that Life may be far more widely distributed in the Cosmos than previously thought possible. This Panel will review recent discoveries and provide their own insights into these intriguing questions.

Course level: Intermediate CEU.65 $575 / $675 USD Tuesday 8:30 am to 5:30 pm See p. 153 for full course description. INTENDED AUDIENCE Engineers, scientists, and managers who need to understand and apply the basic concepts of scatter metrology to laboratory research and industrial process control. Some knowledge of calculus is helpful, but the course does not require that the student follow mathematical derivations. The instructor has designed the course to complement SC492, working in conjunction with SC492s instructor Thomas Germer to coordinate the material. INSTRUCTOR John Stover is President of The Scatter Works, Inc., a Tucson rm concentrating on scatter based metrology standards, consulting, and measurement as they apply to diverse industries. He has researched light scatter related problems for over 30 years and led a team of engineers at TMA Technologies who developed stateof-the-art scatterometers and veried theoretical relationship between surface roughness and scatter. He led a semiconductor industry team that compared scatter models and measurements of surface defects to improve wafer metrology.

Radiometry Revealed

Course level: Introductory CEU.35 $265 / $315 USD Tuesday 8:30 am to 12:30 pm
This course explains basic principles and applications of radiometry and photometry. A primary goal of the course is to reveal the logic, systematic order, and methodology behind what sometimes appears to be a confusing branch of optical science and engineering. Examples are taken from the ultraviolet through the long-wave infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Anyone who wants to answer questions such as, how many watts or photons do I have? or how much light or radiation do I need? will benet from taking this course. LEARNING OUTCOMES This course will enable you to: describe the fundamental units and quantities used to quantify electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths ranging from ultraviolet, through the visible, to infrared use and convert between radiometric and photometric quantities calculate areas and solid angles to determine the energy, energy density, or brightness in an optical measurement or system explain the role of rays, stops, and pupils in dening the eld of view and light-gathering capability of an optical system determine the throughput of an optical system and use it in radiometric calculations quantify the radiant energy in optical images from point and extended sources transfer radiant energy into and throughout optical systems identify radiometric standards and calibration methods be familiar with radiometers and photometers INTENDED AUDIENCE Scientists, engineers, technicians, or managers who wish to learn more about how to quantify radiant energy in optical systems and measurements. Undergraduate training in engineering or science is assumed.

INSTRUCTOR Jennifer Kruschwitz has been an active optical coating design engineer for 20 years, 10 of which as an independent consultant for her rm, JK Consulting. She received both her Bachelors and Masters degrees in Optics from the University of Rochester. She has authored over a dozen peer-reviewed papers and presentations in the eld of optical coatings, as well as several magazine articles dealing with business and consulting in optics. Concurrently she is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Rochesters Institute of Optics teaching optical coatings and professional topics in optics.
Virtually no modern optical system could operate without optical coatings. Much of any optical system consists of a series of coated and shaped surfaces. The shape determines the power of the surface but it is the coating that determines the specular properties, the amount of light transmitted or reected, the phase change, the emittance, the color, the polarization, the retardation, including even the mechanical properties. Optical coatings consist of assemblies of thin lms of materials where interference properties combine with the intrinsic properties of the materials to yield the desired optical performance. They act to reduce the reectance losses of lenses, increase the reectance of mirrors, reduce glare and electromagnetic emission from display systems, improve the thermal insulation of buildings, protect eyes from laser radiation, analyze gases, act as anticounterfeiting devices on banknotes, multiplex or demultiplex communication signals, separate or combine color channels in display projectors, and these are just a few of their roles. This course emphasizes understanding and takes students from fundamentals to techniques for design and manufacture. LEARNING OUTCOMES This course will enable you to: understand the basic principles of optical interference coatings perform many rapid design calculations and assessments without needing a computer speak knowledgeably about the parameters that characterize optical coatings design simple coatings given a suitably equipped computer know the advantages and disadvantages of the basic processes for the production of these lters understand the inuence of errors in monitoring and estimate tolerances in production. INTENDED AUDIENCE Anyone who is or wishes to become involved in the manufacture or use of optical coatings or who wants to know more about this rapidly growing and important eld. The level is appropriate for someone who has completed high school mathematics and/or science. INSTRUCTOR H. Angus Macleod is President of Thin Film Center, a software, training and consulting company in optical coatings, and is Professor Emeritus of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona. He has been deeply involved in optical coatings for close to forty years.
