Munich, Germany and Bellingham, WA--Dhriti Sundar Ghosh and Oriol Bertran-Pardo were awarded the third Photonics21 Student Innovation Award.

Munich, Germany and Bellingham, WA--Dhriti Sundar Ghosh and Oriol Bertran-Pardo were awarded the third Photonics21 Student Innovation Award, sponsored by SPIE, the European Commission Seventh Framework Programme, and Aixtron, on May 25 during LASER World of PHOTONICS 2011 in Munich.

The award was established by Photonics21 Working Group 7 (WG7) on Photonics Research, Education, and Training to promote research in photonics that is related to R&D with industrial impact. The award includes a cash prize of 5,000 euro to be shared by the two winners.

Ghosh (ICFO-Instituto de Ciencias Fotónicas), an SPIE Member, won for his paper on "Photonic devices incorporating transparent electrodes made of ultra-thin metal films."

Bertran-Pardo (Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs) won for his paper on "Study of disruptive solutions for the next generation of high-bit-rate optical communications systems."

Any person under 35 and active in the field of optics and photonics may apply for the Photonics21 Student Innovation Award (http://photonics21.org/TrainingEducation/innovationaward.php).

SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, was founded in 1955 to advance light-based technologies. Serving more than 180,000 constituents from 168 countries, the Society advances emerging technologies through interdisciplinary information exchange, continuing education, publications, patent precedent, and career and professional growth.
