LEOS Student Travel Grants
LEOS has established a Travel Grants program to encourage student participation in LEOS sponsored conferences and other activities. The program provides 17 grants annually of up to $2,500 each to enable students who present papers to travel to the LEOS Annual Meeting, CLEO-Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics, CLEO/Pacific Rim, OECC, CLEO/Europe, and ECOC. A recipient should be a full time degree-seeking student, sponsored by a LEOS member, who is the first author and presenter of the paper. Applications are due approximately 2 months before the particular meeting. Applicants should include a sponsorship letter from the faculty advisor, a short statement (200 words or less), describing the significance of the work to be presented, and a travel budget indicating the availability of sufficient funds to supplement the LEOS award. Applicants should indicate their LEOS membership status. Preference will be given to LEOS student members. The recipients will each receive a minimum of $500 and up to $2,500 towards travel and lodging expenses to the conference location and a complimentary conference registration.

2005 LEOS FORWARD
Welcome to the 18th Annual Meeting of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society. LEOS Annual Meeting has long established itself as one of the prime conferences in laser, optoelectronics, and photonics research. In recognition of the rapid advance in research and innovation in the Pacific Rim Area LEOS 05 Annual Meeting is scheduled to take place in the exciting city of Sydney, Australia. We look forward to the combination of this dynamic location, exciting results and discussions on new technologies, meeting world-renowned experts, and establishing new and maintaining old contacts. The conference program offers an outstanding selection of more than 550 invited and contributed papers. LEOS has expanded the scope of its technical subcommittees by adding a new subcommittee on Nano-photonics. This initiative has received a solid support from the technical community in terms of contributed and invited papers and we are pleased to highlight 8 sessions in the Annual Meeting program devoted to this area. The conference starts on Sunday with the series of short courses covering a broad range on subjects interesting to the LEOS community and taught by the distinguished experts in their field. The short courses program includes such topics as advances in metropolitan optical networks, photonics crystals, 40 GB/s technologies, biophotonics, displays technologies, and nonlinear impairments in communication systems. One of the LEOS charters is to promote career awareness among students and young researchers in photonics and related fields. Addressing this need we have added a new session to the program entitled “Careers in Research Forum” which will take place on Sunday and will also host a get together reception as part of its program. Three prominent invited speakers will share their valuable insights highlighting the milestones of achieving success in the academia, industry, and entrepreneurship, followed up by poster presentations from the research centers. Four distinguished speakers make up the Monday morning plenary program. The first speaker is Dr. Milton Chang, founder, Incubic Venture Capital Fund. Dr. Chang has provided the first capital to nearly 20 successful companies, which may be an unparalleled record. In his talk he will share his valuable insights into concurrent commercialization. The second speaker is Mr. Vince Pizzica, CTO of Alcatel APAC, will discuss the major trends for optical communications in the Pacific Rim. Alcatel is one of the world leaders in optical communications and this talk will give its listeners an excellent overview of the developments in this rapidly growing area of the world. Next, Prof. Stefan Hell, Max-Planck-Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Head of Department of NanoBiophotonics, will present a talk on “ Diffraction Unlimited Spatial Resolution With Focused Visible Light.” Professor Hell is a pioneer of nano-scale imaging. His talk will give us a excellent opportunity to gain insight into the exciting area of nano-photonics. Finally Professor Rod Tucker, University of Melbourne, will present a talk on “Photonics Down Under” which would give an overview of advances in photonics research in Australia. The technical program committee has organized three special symposia with topics ranging from confinement and control in microphotonic structures, to lasers in remote sensing, and application challenges and opportunities in terahertz photonics. It is also worth highlighting that this year’s best student award is sponsored by Newport Corporation. The best paper will be selected from a pool of papers nominated by the technical subcommittees by a group of qualified judges after a competitive evaluation process. The winner will be presented on Monday night at the Awards/Welcome Reception. I would like to thank all the Subcommittee Chairs and members for their solicitation of invited speakers, careful review and selection of contributed papers, and arranging their respective sessions. Special thanks to the LEOS Australian chapter and its chair Professor C. Jagadish in particular. I would also wish to thank all the members of LEOS staff for outstanding professional help in organizing the meeting. Especially, I would like to acknowledge and extend personal thanks to Christine Bluhm for her planning, coordinating, and flexibility. On behalf of all the LEOS Annual personnel, I hope you find LEOS Annual Meeting a fruitful and productive use of your time. Have a great time in lovely Sydney and expand your experience by adding Australian outback to your research interests.
