Research In Progress - Invention Is One ' HOT ' Scientific Commodity generated hologram to split one light beam into round of computergenerated hologramsthat Grier's One potential application is in photonics, computer devices http://physical-sciences.uchicago.edu/research/2002/articles/hot.html
Extractions: By Steve Koppes David Grier, Associate Professor in Physics, works in his lab with a microscope and a laser for his holographic optical tweezers technology. David Grier's holographic optical tweezers have caused some rather scientifically alarming things to appear on the television in his laboratory. "You can watch a hundred years of progress going away before your very eyes," said Grier, Associate Professor in Physics. When combined with a laser and a microscope, the HOT technology transforms multiple beams of light into precision tools capable of manipulating microscopic particles. Grier and Eric Dufresne (Ph.D., '00) received a patent for the invention last April. "The idea is you can use a beam of light to trap a particle and move it in three dimensions, just like a Star Trek tractor beam," Grier said. "We use beams of light to move particles into interesting arrangements and watch how they react to being placed in such ways. We actually watch them using consumer electronics." Once Grier has the particles stuck fast within his optical clutches, he can probe some time-honored but- never-tested theories of 19th-century physics.

Technical Annex MOU and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber The range of applications ofphotonics extends from Diffraction gratings or holograms can be produced in http://www.phg.ulg.ac.be/cost/MOU.html
Extractions: Applications of non linear optical phenomena The proposed Action is based upon the research activities already existing in the participating countries regrouping the competent research workers of all participating countries. There are several general areas of research which may be considered of primary interest. These include the following: Photorefractive polymers are used in optical devices in computing, optical interconnections, optical image processing and storage. A photorefractive system is one which is simultaneously photoconductive and electrooptic. Diffraction gratings or holograms can be produced in a photorefractive material by the photogeneration of mobile charges. The grating is produced by the internal space-charge field that is set up by these charges. The electrooptic effect due to this field produces an index of refraction grating. Such grating possess novel properties when compared with conventional photochemical gratings. The applications can be found in : * Optical neural networks based on NLO devices * Active holographic and diffractive optics : new optical elements * Optical storage systems and optical switches based on photochromic dyes * Optical storage devices using spectral hole-burning in polymer matrices Non linear optics in optical waveguides has developed into a new branch of non linear optics. The area is so scientifically rich and technologically promising that it is destined to become one of the most important areas of device research for applications in optical communication and optical sensing. Important applications are ultra-fast demultiplexers, wavelength converters, phase conjugation and harmonic generation. Important research directions are: * Systems with artificial non linearities such as periodically poled fibres and quasi phase matched crystals. * Multipolar structures, new semiconductor micro- and nano- structures * New waveguides : hybridized structures formed by a polymer (passive) waveguide and a semiconductor (active) element.
