International Workshop on Optical Wireless Communications (IWOW) |
18/01/2013 |
The first International Workshop on Optical
Wireless Communications (IWOW) was held on
October 22nd at the Institute of Communication,
Information and Perception Technologies (TeCIP
Institute) of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna.
The workshop was sponsored by the IEEE and by
the COST Opticwise.
IWOW attracted worldwide experts in optical
wireless (OW) communications, to present and
discuss the latest research results related to
this technology, which allows communication
using pulses of light transmitted through the
free space.
OW technology can be applied in different fields
of application, and it attracting renewed
interest thanks to the recent development of low-
cost light emitting diodes (LEDs) for
illumination applications: LEDs indeed can
allows to exploit the synergy between
illumination and wide band data transmission in
indoor applications replacing or combining with
the WiFi networks. Also the automotive industry
can take advantage of the presence of the LEDs
in the headlights to implement vehicle to
vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure
(V2I) communication for safety critical
protocol, as a part of the intelligent transport
system.
Others field of applications for optical
wireless include the outdoor free space data
transmission for local area network, the
satellite-satellite transmission and satellite-
ground station transmission and submarine
communications.
IWOW2012 was jointly organized by the Scuola
Superiore Sant'Anna and the National Consortium
for Telecommunications (CNIT). Ernesto
Ciaramella, of the Scuola Superiore
Sant'Anna ,was the coordinator of the technical
and organizational committees. During the
workshop, 21 oral paper were presented to around
70 attendees. The IWOW proceeding can be found

European Technical jobs |
22/03/2012 |
Early in 2011, Intel put out the word that it
planned to hire 1000 software engineers by the
end of the year in the U.S. It beat its
deadline. Now, it wants to do the same thing in
Europe. Aiming to strengthen its R&D capacity in
the greater Europe region (Europe, Russia, and
Israel), Intel expects to hire about 1000
software engineers in 2012, with most of them
based in Poland, Finland, France, Romania, the
United Kingdom, and Germany.
Intel is by no means the only company on the
hunt for qualified applicants. Competition for
technical talent on the continent “is fierce,”
says Stephanie Lee, Intel’s Manager for European
Staffing. Google, Siemens, Nvidia, Microsoft,
Qualcomm, and Huawei are among the dozens of
other multinational firms each looking to fill
hundreds of positions. European Aeronautics,
Defense & Space (EADS), which is partially owned
by the governments of Germany, France, and
Spain, says it is looking for more than 2000
engineers and IT professionals in France, nearly
2000 in Germany, and about 500 in Spain and the
UK—about the same numbers EADS hired in 2011.
The fact that engineers are much sought after in
Europe was evident in the most recent edition of
the quarterly journal European Vacancy Monitor,
which lists occupations in highest demand by
country. Engineering ranked first in the UK and
Bulgaria, and was second in demand in Germany,
Romania, Norway, Ireland, and Spain. Engineering
ranked fourth in Slovenia, fifth in Poland, and
seventh in France and Sweden.

Planned downtime for IEEE renewal and join applications |
27/02/2012 |
Colleagues,
As IEEE prepares to launch its new e-commerce
platform on 1 April, there will be two periods
of downtime where the IEEE renewal and join
applications will not be available. It is
important that you are aware of this in planning
any outreaches to members, and to address any
inquiries you may get from members who are
experiencing difficulty.
The first period of downtime will be two days, 2–
3 March 2012, as we make updates to prepare for
the official launch. We ask that you defer any
outreaches for the period 27 February through 3
March 2012.
The second period of downtime will be 29 March –
1 April 2012. This is when the platform upgrade
will take place. We kindly ask that you not
conduct any outreaches from 26 March through 2
April 2012, to avoid a frustrating experience
for any member who attempts to renew during this
time.
After the new e-commerce platform is deployed,
members and prospective members will benefit
from a greatly enhanced user experience for
joining and renewing memberships through a
single-page application. In addition, members
and customers will enjoy an enhanced ability to
customize communication preferences, among other
enhancements that make this new platform a
simple, intuitive interface.
In addition, new security procedures will be in
effect after deployment. The first time users
visit one of these newly designed services pages
they will be prompted to change their account
user name to a valid e-mail address and
establish two security questions.
IEEE will be communicating with members about
these important updates immediately after the
deployment has been completed, so stay tuned for
more information in the coming months. The IEEE
Contact Center will be prepared to assist
members before, during and after the transition,
though we expect this to be a smooth and
seamless process for our members.
Thank you for your patience as we work to
improve the IEEE member experience.
Regards,
John Day, Director - Membership Development |

Resoconto Biophotonics |
04/08/2011 |
Dall’8 al 10 giugno 2011 il Centro Congressi “S.
Elisabetta”, presso il Campus dell’Università di
Parma, ha ospitato il Workshop Internazionale
BioPhotonics 2011.
L’evento è stato organizzato dall’Università di
Parma, da IEEE Photonics Society – Italian
Chapter e da IEEE Italy Section, e patrocinato
dal Comune di Parma, quale occasione di
confronto fra ricercatori ed esperti operanti in
diversi ambiti di ricerca, come la biologia, la
chimica, la fotonica, la fisica, l’ingegneria,
riuniti dalla natura intrinsecamente
multidisciplinare della biofotonica. Tra gli
scopi del Workshop vi era, infatti, anche quello
di fornire un quadro di insieme delle numerose
sfaccettature di questo tema, e di mostrare
l’interdipendenza delle discipline coinvolte.
Il Prof. Stefano Selleri dell’Università di
Parma e il Prof. Roberto Pini dell’IFAC-CNR di
Firenze sono stati i Chairmen della conferenza.
Numerose istituzioni e società scientifiche
hanno promosso l’iniziativa (IEEE Engineering in
Medicine and Biology – Italy Chapter; IEEE
Nanotechnology Council – Italy Chapter;
Divisione Chimica Analitica - Società Chimica
Italiana; Photonics 4 Life; EOS - European
Optical Society; SIEM - Società Italiana di
Elettromagnetismo; SIOF - Società Italiana di
Ottica e Fotonica), mentre diverse ditte del
settore hanno fornito il loro supporto economico
(Alfatest srl, Horiba Scientific, Lot Oriel
Group, Hamamatsu, AMS Technologies,
Poliambulatorio Dalla Rosa Prati).
L’evento ha attratto un notevole numero di
partecipanti, oltre 110, ben aldilà delle
iniziali aspettative, segno del forte interesse
e dell’attualità della tematica in questione.
Oltre alla nutrita partecipazione italiana, il
convegno ha richiamato quasi la metà dei
delegati dal resto d’Europa, ma anche da USA,
Canada, Giappone, Taiwan e Australia, coprendo
praticamente ogni continente.
Tutte le sessioni hanno visto lavori di
altissimo livello e sono state arricchite da
oltre 20 interventi invitati di relatori di fama
internazionale. Ciascuna delle tre giornate del
convegno è stata aperta da una sessione
plenaria. Gli argomenti trattati hanno
riguardato le diverse tecniche diagnostiche
basate sulla luce, i cui campi di applicazione
spaziano dalla medicina all’agricoltura, dalla
tutela ambientale a quella del patrimonio
artistico. In particolare, le varie sessioni del
Workshop vertevano su Fiber-based Sensing
Technologies, Sensing Platforms, Spectroscopy-
Microscopy and Imaging Techniques, Optical
Manipulation, Trapping and Ablation, Nano-
Biophotonics and Materials, Optofluidic
Platform, Diagnostic and Therapeutic
Applications. Parte delle memorie presentate
sono disponibili su IEEEXplore all’indirizzo
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/conhome.jsp?
punumber=1800424.
Il Local Organizing Committee, formato da tutti
i membri del gruppo di ricerca del Prof. Selleri
presso il Dipartimento di Ingegneria
dell’Informazione dell’Università di Parma
(Dott.ssa Annamaria Cucinotta, Ing. Federica
Poli, Ing. Enrico Coscelli, Ing. Michele Sozzi,
Ing. Alessandro Candiani), ha arricchito le
giornate di lavoro dei partecipanti a
BioPhotonics 2011 con un piacevole programma
sociale, con visita guidata al Battistero e al
Duomo di Parma, e con cena sociale presso la
Scuola Internazionale di Cucina Italiana ALMA di
Colorno, ove gli intervenuti hanno gustato
piatti e vini tipici tra i piÃą squisiti e
raffinati.
Visto il notevole successo dell’iniziativa e le
insistenti richieste dei partecipanti a ripetere
l’evento, con scadenza da definire, lo Steering
Committee si impegna a investigare possibilità e
modalità per riproporre il Workshop, e augura un
caloroso arrivederci a tutti gli intervenuti.

Photonic Crystal Fibers |
01/08/2007 |
By F. Poli, A. Cucinotta, S. Selleri (Univ. of
Parma) a new book of the Springer Series in
Material Science, 1st Ed. 248 p., July 2007.
Photonic crystal fibers, also known as
microstructured or holey fibers, have recently
generated great interest in the scientific
community thanks to the new ways provided to
control and guide light, not obtainable with
conventional optical fibers. Proposed for the
first time in the 90's, photonic crystal fibers
have driven an exciting and irrepressible
research activity all over the World, starting
in the telecommunication field and then touching
metrology, spectroscopy, microscopy, astronomy,
micromachining, biology and sensing. This book
is intended to provide an expert guidance
through the properties of photonic crystal
fibers, with a specific focus on the
telecommunication aspects. |

Silvano Donati è stato insignito del LEOS Distinguished Lecturer Award 07-08 |
06/06/2007 |
The IEEE LEOS (Laser Electro Optics Society) has
appointed our Past-President Silvano Donati a
Distinguished Lecturer for the period July 07 to
June 08. Title of the talk is: "Coupling
dynamics in semiconductor lasers and
applications to self-mixing interferometry and
chaotic cryptography" Summary: In this talk,
after a brief theoretical introduction to mutual
and self coupling phenomena in laser oscillator,
two applications are described in details. The
first is self-mixing interferometry for
measurements of dimensional quantities
(displacement, distance, vibration, and angle)
and physical quantities (coupling factors, line
width, alfa- factor). In this case, the laser
undergoes self- injection at weak level, leading
to an amplitude and frequency modulation driven
by external optical path. The second application
is optical chaos, which is generated by the
laser source at strong level of injection. We
describe mutual and self-injection generation of
chaos, and the first step of development to
cryptography, that is, synchronization. Then, we
will review several schemes of coding and
decoding of information, i.e., chaotic masking
and CSK (chaos shift keying) and how they can be
implemented, along with theoretical results and
experimental trials carried out recently.
Professor Donati is with University of Pavia,
Department of Electronics, where he leads the
Optoelectronic Group. Papers on the topics
covered by his lecture can be found on the
website http://www.unipv.it/donati |
