1 ANNUAL REPORT OF SPIE NATIONAL CHIAO TUNG UNIVERSITY (NCTU) STUDENT CHAPTER Hung-Shan Chen President of NCTU Student Chapter December 2011 December 2012 This year, SPIE Student Chapter at National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) won lots of awards and hosted many activities, it was a great success. Hung-Shan Chen, elected president of SPIE NCTU Student Chapter in August 2011, is working hard with the other elected officers to recruit new members (12 people) and to participate in many events. We co-organized the Tin Ka Pin Photonic Week in March where we recruit over 50% of our members and we also did our best to win the sports award (frisbee) under the name of SPIE NCTU student chapter. We also arranged 1 seminar for inviting Prof. Dabrowski from Poland (who is a great master in liquid crystal chemistry), and lab tours for many important guests (professors and experts) from overseas and industry. We also sponsored the volleyball and tennis team (under the name of SPIE NCTU student chapter) of our department to attend the national photonics campaign, and won the champion and the 3 rd place back, respectively. Finally our student members also attend 2 SPIE conferences (Photonic west and Optics + Photonics) in 2012 where we received many great experience and memories from Workshop and Optics Outreach Olympic, and we won the laser chess champion, and 2 Newport award back.

We had help our department to organize the Tin Ka Pin Photonic Week, with invited speakers, booth, sports day, the come-home day for graduate student, etc. (Also received the matching fund from our department) We had participated in the SPIE conferences, which includes Photonics West, Optics+Photonics and won two SPIE Newport Spectra-Physics Research Excellence Awards and one Student Chapter Officer Travel Grant Award and also the Laser chess champion on Optics Outreach Olympic in Optics and Photonics. We had invited and organized a symposium for Prof. Dabrowski from Poland, who is one of the most influential chemist and provider of liquid crystal material in the world with the sponsor help from ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute from taiwan) and SPIE NCTU student chapter (for beverages and buffet). We had organized 5 lab tours for many important professors from different background and promoting our student chapters. We had arranged a business visit to Jasper Display, who is the pioneer of LCOS display (Liquid crystal on silicon). 2

Meetings To promote our student chapter, we had organized parties and meetings to prepare the following event and work assignments, as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Group Meeting 2. Tin Ka Ping Photonics Week This year, SPIE NCTU student chapter had optunites to oranize the heldings of 1 st Tin Ka Pin Photonic week in our department. We had participated the preparation meetings and co-held the symbosiums for Prof. Yuen-Ron Shen (professor emeritus of physics at the University of California, Berkeley), also for Director Wei-Hsin Sun (Director General, National Museum of Natural Science in Taiwan), booth for promoting SPIE student chapter, Sports day, Frisbee champion, as shown in Fig. 2. 3

We also engaged in department activities Fig. 3 a come-home day for graduate student 3. SPIE Conferences We had participated in the conferences of SPIE, Photonics West and Optics+Photonics in Where we had attended the leadership day, outreach, poster session, and received valuable awards including: 2 newport awards, 1 officer travel grant, and laser championship with the gift of laser chess. We indeed learned 4

These figures are shown in Fig Fig. 4 The activitis in SPIE conferences, Photonics West and Optics+Photonics 2012 Fig. 5 Honors and Awards in SPIE Optics+Photonics 2012 Fig. 6 Posters for SPIE Optics+Photonics Invited Speaker and Symposium under the name 5

6 of SPIE NCTU Student Chapter We also co-organized an invited symposium with ITRI (Industrial Technology Research Institute from taiwan), the invited speaker is Prof. Dabrowski, who is one of the pioneer and influential person in the chemistry of liquid crystal material. I had also given a short talk on the demand of liquid crystal before the lecture. We also had lunch and buffet together, as shown in Fig. 7. Fig. 7 The symposium for the invited speaker prof. Dabrowski from Poland 5. Lab tours for professors from overseas This year, SPIE NCTU student chapter had organized 5 lab tours for professors from overseas and domestic.

Business Visit to Jasper Display (a pioneer in LCOS display) We also had a great opportunity to visit the pioneer company (Jasper Display) in LCOS display (liquid crystal on silicon) in 2012, as shown in Fig. 13. We saw the demonstration of color filter free and extremely small pixel size (less than 4um) high resolution display. Fig. 13 Business visit to Jasper Display 7. Sports Awards Other than academic works and events, we also encouraged our student members to participate the sports event in our nation. We had received fruitful results from this year, which include the volleyball champion and the 3 rd place tennis in National Photonics Competition, the schools that attended were more than 10, as shown in Fig. 14.

Summary This year, we have successfully organized many activities with our student members. We also received many awards from SPIE, NCTU, and National Photonics society. Furthermore, the number of SPIE student members had also grown from 11 to 13, there are many new friends joined our chapter. We re very grateful to our advisor, Prof. Yi-Hsin Lin, Prof. Ken-Yuh Hsu, and Prof. Hao-Chung Kuo for kindly offering his constructive visions and guidance, which led us to produce fruitful results over the past half year. We re planning to be more active and held more academic activities in the coming year. 9
