Conference Overview

The CLEO Pacific Rim (CLEO-PR) Conference took place from 31st July - 4th August at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre Singapore. conference was colocated with the OptoElectronics and Communications Conference (OECC) and Photonics Global Conference (PGC). I was too excited as this is the first time I participated CLEO conference. There were too many interesting talks in the same session which makes me confused But the most that I interested was the 'Women in Photonics' session. As the conference hall was located at the Marina Bay Sands As the conference hall was located at the Marina Bay Sands and close to Garden by the Bay which was one of the attractions place in Singapore allows me to visit those places after the conference session. I also glad that all foods there were 'Halal' and I can eat without any suspicious.

Review of my presentation

The half an hour session was really great for me as there were a lot of fruitful discussion from other researchers. About 8 peoples interested with my topic. One of them is technical director of Huawei Technologies in Germany, Prof. Dr. Eng. He was interested with the physics of the device and suggest me to include the physics of the resonance of the nanocavity in journal in future. Overall, I satisfied with my presentation and I enjoyed to learn others research as well.

3. Interesting research topic

Ultra-low Loss Silica Waveguide Ring Resonators for Resonant Micro-Optic Gyroscopes, Hulian Ma, Jianjie Zhang, Hanzhao Li, and Zhonghe Jin, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.

Resonant micro-optic gyroscope1) (RMOG) with a waveguide-type ring resonator (WRR) has been identified for new optical gyros that can achieve size, The most critical element of RMOG is an ultra-low loss waveguide-type ring resonator (WRR) with centimetre-scale size. The presenter explained on the fabrication and measurements on both types of WRR. The configuration of WRR consists of transmissive WRR and reflective WRR. The finesse and resonant depth of reflective silica WRR are 196.7 For the transmissive silica WRR, the finesse and the total loss are 128 and 0.113dB, respectively. The polarization error and polarization extinction ratio is increased by pigtailed the silica WRR with single polarization fiber. Also, from the rotation measurement showed that it can exceed the earth rotation rate.

1)Gyroscope is a device consist of a wheel or disc mounted so that it can spin rapidly about an axis which is itself free to alter in direction. 1)Gyroscope is a device consist of a wheel or disc mounted so that it can spin rapidly about an axis which is itself free to alter in direction.
