After many hours of flights, I finally arrived in San Jose, CA for this year’s CLEO meeting. I made my way downtown and shortly headed over to the Convention Center to pick up my registration materials. Conference program and other goodies in hand, I headed back to my hotel to dive into the details of what’s in store for this week.

Being an active OSA young professional comes with additional bonuses once in a while. This time, I was happily summoned as “scientific paparazzi” to sneak into one of the committee meetings for CLEO: 2013 happening in the DC metropolitan area. Digging for insider info on CLEO’s hot topics and from CLEO: 2013 committee chairs and members – as they reviewed, scored and sessioned all the CLEO papers was the top mission.

As part of the Exhibit Hall and related activities, CLEO: 2013 will be featuring a special program on technology transfer. The sessions will include a number of displays and talks related to the topic. One segment of the program will include a designated area for organizations to showcase their ideas that are ready to be transitioned to the commercial sector. In addition, there will be a number of talks related to technology transfer.

A holy grail of photonics and electronics is the integration of silicon CMOS technology with electro-optical devices. In general, this is challenging because mature electro-optic components are made in compound semiconductors, such as GaAs and InP. Development of hybrid integration, where compound semiconductor photonics are combined with silicon electronics using material bonding techniques, is being pursued currently and is a promising approach. Another more direct method, however, is to try to make photonic devices from silicon directly. This is an appealing idea, since silicon is relatively cheap and the microelectronics industry has built up a large technology infrastructure around it.

To probe new scientific frontiers, we need new technology. On the other hand, the advance of the technology relies on the solid scientific foundation. Countless examples have shown us that science and technology evolve together to give us wonders and a better understanding of the universe and nature. Looking back at 2012, similar stories happened in the laser and optics arena – Lasers are extending the working wavelengths into shorter (X-rays) and longer (THz) domain and probe new scientific frontiers. With this advance, we can have a better grasp of our nature.
