President’s Word It is with great pleasure that I write this report detailing the various activities and achievements of the SPIE Chapter at the Delhi Technological University, formerly the Delhi College of Engineering. The past year has been one of sustained activity seeing a growth in the chapter membership by almost 50%. We have also organized a number of workshops and lectures during this past year providing a wonderful opportunity to the college students to enter the field of optical communication and photonics. Also our relationship with the TIFAC-CORE laboratory for optical fiber communication has continued to bear success, providing the under graduate students with an unmatched platform for a foray into the field of photonics as well as other allied fields.
I remember myself, having joined the chapter three years back, as a speculative youngster just testing the waters and now, in retrospect, I must say that joining SPIE was one of the best decisions of my life. Since joining SPIE, I have come in contact with world leading researchers and have gotten to learn so much from my seniors and faculty that I feel indebted to them and wish to continue the tradition by passing on what I have learned to my juniors and help them find a foot hold in the beginning of their college life so that they may have all the opportunities required to be able to pursue their ambitions.
At this point, I must acknowledge all those who are the main pioneers of our chapter today. First and foremost is our faculty advisor Prof. R.K.Sinha, who has constantly exhorted us to perform to the best of our abilities and helped us find our focus. I would also like to thank my fellow council members, Mr. Kamal Kishor, Ms. Monika Rajput, Ms Swati Rawal and Mr. Utkarsh Sopan, each of who have been instrumental in the smooth functioning of the chapter. I would also like to mention our Executive committee, consisting of Mr. Ashok Kumar, Mr. Jivesh Kaushal and Mr. Sanjay Meena, which has worked with the council in organizing various workshops and lecture sessions. Also, one of the most important contributors to the continued success of our chapter is SPIE itself, through Mr. Ben Lockwood and Mr. Dirk Fabian.
The coming year bodes extremely well for the SPIE chapter in our college as we have an excited batch of students waiting to take over the reins and I wish the very best in all their endeavors.

Chapter Activities since Last Report This section details all the major activities that were carried out by the SPIE DCE Chapter during the year 2009. We were honored to have hosted intelligentsia from around the world, besides actively pursuing the goal of spreading our knowledge of Optics and Photonics to the freshman and sophomore year students. We were especially encouraged by the enthusiasm that was shown by the students of the SPIE DCE Chapter in participating in all the activities.
A Seminar by Prof. R B Lal Professor Ravindra B Lal, a fellow of SPIE, an ex-faculty of the Delhi College of Engineering and presently Professor in the Physics department at the Alabama A&M University, had visited the college and presented a lecture on his work on the Growth and Properties of Tri-Glycine Sulfate (TGS) Crystals, outlining the effects of low gravity and various other parameters.
7
A Seminar by Prof. Brian Culshaw We were honored to host former SPIE President Dr Brian Culshaw at our college to brief students of the college about the recent advances in optics and photonics, and to inform them of the various possibilities in the field of optics. He touched on the topics of sensor technology especially gas sensing addressing almost 120 students, and they were extremely motivated by his words and we have since seen an increase in the membership of the SPIE chapter in our college.

Short Course by Prof. Ajoy Ghatak
Professor Ajoy Ghatak, recipient of the SPIE educator award and a pioneer in the field of Optics visited the college and held a short course for all the first year students of the college; he discussed the theory of relativity and the life of Prof. Albert Einstein, captivating the interest of all the students. The students found his seminar extremely interesting and he held the attention of the audience numbering over 600 for over 4 hours, introducing and advancing the subject with such tact and articulation that there wasn’t a moment’s ennui.

Workshop held for Delhi University Teachers
On 2nd and 3rd June 2009, the TIFAC CORE Center at DCE held a training session for teachers from Delhi University to give them hands on experience of various instruments, equipment and techniques used in the optical communication in the industry today.
10
SPIE Internship Starting last year, we started a summer internship for students interested in a career in optics. The students were given short courses on fundamentals of photonics, lithography, optical communication and other allied fields, besides giving them hands on training on equipment related to photonics and optical communication. The participants included students from nearly all the branches of the Delhi College of Engineering as well as from other reputed colleges from different parts of the country, such as IIIT, Hyderabad and BITS, Pilani Goa. Most of the students decided to become members of SPIE as well and they have described the experience as a very enriching and fulfilling one. We intend to make this an annual programme so as to help show students the various avenues that are open to them in the field of optics and photonics. The internship lasted for 2 months, from 1st June 2009 to 31st July 2009. The students were presented with certificates of participation.

Lecture by Prof M R Shenoy Prof M R Shenoy, a recipient of the SPIE educator award had taken a lecture for the students of the college, he spoke to the senior students, discussing their research and also addressed a class of junior students speaking to them about the various career avenues that optics can offer and how to go about pursuing a career in photonics.
Seminar by Mr Amol Chaudhary Mr Amol Chaudhary, a past president of the SPIE DCE Chapter had visited the college and had taken a seminar for the under graduate students telling them about the opportunities that the world of photonics has to offer and also about the Erasmus Mundus Programme for Photonics, for which he himself had been selected two years back to pursue his Masters in Photonics. His words of encouragement were truly motivating for the students.
A Seminar by Dr T Srinivas Dr Talabatulla Srinivas, Associate Professor at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore had visited the college and taken a seminar on MEMS, NEMS and Electron beam lithography, expounding on his research and discussing various opportunities of the his field.
Visit by Dr. Shailendra Varshney Dr Shailendra Varshney, Assistant Professor at IIT Kharagpur had visited the college to interact with the doctoral scholars about Photonic Crystal Fiber and also to encourage the young undergraduate students to pursue a career in photonics.

Council Meetings We held Council meetings almost every alternate week to discuss and plan various chapter activities. We also held a number of full chapter meetings to make the students aware of the activities of the chapter and to involve them in participation and organization of the activities. During these meetings we charted out the various goals of the chapter.
Planned Activities for the Future We have outlined a number of objectives during our council meetings. The objectives awaiting completion are listed below:
• Our immediate priority is to organize a visit to a local school to teach the students some basics about Optics and Optical communication
• We will be holding elections for the various officer posts, as the present batch will be passing out soon.
• We intend to organize a number of lectures by eminent researchers from across the world, like we have done during the course of this year.
• We will be extending the reach of our internship programme to allow students from different colleges to be able to take part in the internship process.
• We have drafted a plan to assign interested students with yearlong projects, so as to give them exposure to the practical aspects of research and also give them the opportunity to learn.
• We have also decided to have more industrial trips for the students, and have decided to plan trips to a fiber manufacturing plant as well as a DVD manufacturing plant.
