CLEO/Europe 2015 Participation Report
1st year master's student Daiki Itobe
in Prague, Czech Republic, 06-09 July, 2015
1. Outline of the Society
CLEO/Europe2015 was my first overseas conference presentation. The venue was Munich International Congress Centre. The venue for oral presentations was almost the same size as the Pacifico Yokohama where ALPS'15 was held. However, the presentation system was a little peculiar, with the screen and PC monitors mirroring each other, which was inconvenient in some respects, such as not being able to display the PowerPoint presentation, while there were some advantages, such as being able to see the slides currently being displayed from the entrance to the venue. On the other hand, the size of the corporate booths far exceeded that of ALPS'15, and it was surprisingly huge, with five large halls.
2. Own presentation
Although I read the presentation manuscript many times beforehand and recited it by heart, I was often unable to remember what to say next due to nervousness during the actual presentation, which made me keenly aware of my lack of experience. I received three questions during the question period immediately after my presentation and two personal questions after my presentation, so I can say that I got a good response to my presentation. However, there were times when I could not answer the questions as I wanted because it took time to express my answers in English, even though I understood the content of the questions.
3. Topic Introduction
I could not attend the "Whispering Gallery Mode-applications" session, which I was interested in, because it was held at the same time as the "Photonic Micro- and Nanocavities" session I attended this time. On the other hand, I visited various sessions in the fields not so related to my research, and I will introduce some of the interesting ones.
Liquid-filled Fiber Capillaries for Mid-IR Supercontinuum Generation
In this presentation from the "MIR Wavelength Generation" session, we show that CS2 (carbon disulfide), a highly nonlinear liquid, produces supercontinuum (ultra-broadband) light due to nonlinear optical effects when pump light is injected into it. In this study, a quartz glass tube, whose diameter is almost the same as that of an optical fiber, is used to confine CS2 liquid in a microvolume. The experimental results show that an ultra-broadband spectrum was obtained when pump light was injected.
