15th International Young Scientists Conference “Optics & High
Technology Material Science SPO 2014”
15th International Young Scientists Conference “Optics and High Technology Material Science -
SPO2014” was organized 23-26 October 2014. As usual, the conference was organized by
undergraduate and graduate students, current members of OSA, SPIE and EOS student
chapters/club. Event was held at Faculty of Physics, Taras Shevchenko National University of
Kyiv (Ukraine).
As usual this year conference brought together scientists from different countries to find new
colleagues, share experience and demonstrate results of the latest researches in the field of
optics and high technology material science. This year the meeting took another kind of format.
Projects and researches of young pre-university students were included in the technical
program. Young people showed high level of interest in optics and photonics and good
knowledge of their scientific themes despite the age (15-18 years old). The conference program
included the following sections: physics of condensed matter and spectroscopy; laser physics
and modern optoelectronics; applied optics and engineering; biomedical optics and sensors
technology.
This year conference was highly standard organized. SPIE members and other students of our
Chair of Optics took active part in SPO conference’s organizing as usual. That specialty made
SPO outstanding from all other scientific events in Ukraine. The idea to provide the part of such
a meeting for younger generation was well-accepted by all participants. We hope this initiative
would be supported in the future by different universities in Ukraine.
SPO 2014 was attended by scientists from Japan, United Kingdom, Ireland and Ukraine of
course. The ideas in presented reports were expressed by both famous experts in optics and
photonics and young scientists including students.
This year all young scientists (undergraduate/graduate students) got possibility to be awarded
for the best presentation. Conference’s program committee chose the best five participants and
awarded them with award diploma and scientific books.
Students who have successfully presented their scientific researches and were awarded for the
best oral presentations:
1. MSc. student Roman Holubenko “Mechanisms of photovoltage generation in GaAs-based
p-n junctions with InGaAs quantum wires”.
2. MSc. student Victor Borysiuk “Studies of boron- and nitrogen-doped single-walled carbon
nanotubes as potential hydrogen halide molecules HX (X = F, CL, Br) sensors”.
3. PhD. student Shynkarenko Yevhen “Issues of transient absorption measurements in pico-
and femtosecond time domain of gold nanospheres and nanorods”.
Students who have successfully presented their scientific researches and were awarded for the
best poster presentations:
1. Undergraduate student Mariia Gryzlova “Photovoltage spectroscopy and transient of
InAs/GaAs p-i-n structure”.
2. PhD student Inna Kuchugura “Method of biofocal diffractive lenses designing”
All organizers expected that participation in “Best student presentation award” would motivate
young scientists to make additional efforts during their work under presentations. SPIE Chapter
officers always were interested in popularization paper/presentation awards among students
and they continue to think so. We used this possibility as a promotional illustration for 1st year
BSc. Program students. All of them prepared poster presentation of their researches made at
school (before entering the university).
The youngest conference participants (pre-college students whom studies at ukrainian
secondary schools) had a possibility to take part in leadership and scientific workshops.
Attendances got all information about activities of Chair of Optics and international professional
societies associated to optics (SPIE, OSA, EOS) at the Leadership workshop. During scientific
workshop pre-college students received additional information about optical phenomena that
usually are not studied in secondary schools. There were organized four lectures which covered
following themes: «Optical illusions», «Laser and its application», «Biomedical optics», «Optics:
present and future». All attendances received certificate of participation.
Undergraduate/graduate students also took part at workshop “Study in Japan: Master’s and
PhD programs” where invited lecturer prof. Toru Aoki (Shizuoka University, Japan)
demonstrated all benefits and problems of studying at Master’s and PhD programs at Shizuoka
University (Hamamatsu, Japan) for Ukrainian students.
Optics educational kit
“Optics educational kit” was created and designed by TSNUK SPIE Student chapter
members.
“Optics educational kit” is orientated on school students. Its main idea is to explain
relationship between difficult formulas and daily life. Educational kit motivates students to
become involved to optics because it demonstrates abstract optical phenomena.
In the basis of these experiments we laid the fundamental laws of physical optics: light
refraction, interference phenomena, diffraction and total internal reflection, polarization and
luminescence. The most of chosen materials are available in all countries. Every kit consists of
brochure, video-disk and next equipment:
Plastic transparent glasses
Transparent glasses
Water gel beads (not coloured)
Water gel beads (coloured)
Dye
White piece of paper (screen)
Transparent glass beads
Polarizers
Incandescent light bulb
Black light lamp
Compact discs
Knife
Flashlight
Laser pointer
Experiments were created for children under K-12 program, their parents and also for
school teachers that’s why we wrote description brochure how to use it. Student chapter
members gave a master class at eight Ukrainian schools where we explained the leading role of
optics and photonics in modern technological progress. All eight schools received those kits as a
gift for classroom demonstration. It is expected to perform general physics lessons at those
secondary schools more efficient for children. Using educational kit is a good opportunity to
form students' well-grounded knowledgebase and show the importance of scientific
phenomena.
Chapter’s officers created video disk. All six optical phenomena where filmed in details
http://youtu.be/YbkVngFccJ0 (available on chapter’s video channel) everyone interested can
watch experiments and try to made them. In additional we made video – film “Second-
Harmonic Generation Phenomena in "Green" Laser Pointer”. http://youtu.be/MLHzNJHjXHM
(available on chapter’s video channel). It’s a modern product permitting to indicate faraway
objects. The idea of the video is to show the interior construction of the pointer to the
audience. We want to describe the elements the pointer consists of and demonstrate product’s
optical scheme. We sew up the frame of the pointer. We separated gradually different optical
elements and described their importance. In fact we saw the edge of the gain media and the
mirror deposed on it.
Khet 2.0 laser chess game competition
This year student chapter started to increase students' scientific interest with Khet 2.0
laser chess game. During two months students practiced in new logic game. We bought three
Khet 2.0 games. On May 2014 the championship were provided between students involved in
physics at our university. This event was devoted to the Year of Light 2015.
Khet 2.0 laser chess winners: Taras Hanulia, Mykola Melnichenko, Andrii Shcherbakov.
After championship Pizza party was provided. During party 3 winners were awarded by
certificates and prizes.

5) In March 2015 Taras Hanulia took part in the All-Ukrainian Concur of Student Scientific Works (Lutsk, Ukraine). Students presented their investigations in different fields of physics. Taras was taken to the Applied Physics section and was awarded by the First Place Diploma.
Annual Chapter party
It is a tradition to organize an annual Chapter meeting at the end of May. Year 2015
wasn’t an exception. Almost all Chapter members attended that event. We summarized
all the provided activities during last year, shared minds about the future of the Chapter,
its development and next projects. We sincerely welcomed our new Chapter members
and expect for their own professional development and future active participation in SPIE
projects. A traditional speech was announced by our Advisor prof. Leonid V. Poperenko.
He thanked all members for their participation in Chapter activities, noticed the
importance of students’ motivation for their future. He also thanked Chapter Officers for
the responsibility and regular attracting of new students to SPIE and Chapter activities.
The party cannot be provided without pizza so the formal part was finished by a few
toasts and pizzas.
