1st Place (200 USD)
Mrs. Loreto Valentina Romero Ponce, Università degli Studi di Padova, Italy
Bio: L. Romero was born in Iquique, Chile, in 1997. She received the degree in electronic engineering, specializing in telecommunications, from Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, Valparaíso, Chile, in 2022. Since February 2024, she has been a PhD student in the Department of Information Engineering from University of Padova, Italy.
Poster title: Experimental analysis of birefringence in uncoupled multicore fiber
Abstract: This paper presents a preliminary study of birefringence in uncoupled core fiber. A four-uncoupled-core fiber with marked birefringence was drawn and spun to investigate inter-core birefringence orientation. Results show a strong correlation between cores, supporting that most core birefringence is due to drawing-induced thermal stress.
2nd Place (150 USD)
Mr. Sameer Ahmad Mir, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India
Bio: Sameer Ahmad Mir is a B.Tech. gold medalist in Electronics and Communication Engineering from BGSBU and is working towards his PhD in Electrical Engineering from IITM. His work focuses on building digital signal processing algorithms for high-spectral efficiency coherent transmission. He is the president of the Optica IITM students chapter.
Abstract: We propose a new matrix model to characterize the polarization mixing and inter-core cross-talk using the Kronecker product. In a 2-core fiber, we verify that the polarization mixing in each core is identical and, thus, can be modeled using two matrices and the Kronecker product.
3rd Place (100 USD)
Ms. Debaleena Majumder, Indian Institute of Science, India
Bio: I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of CeNSE at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). My academic career involves working in Physics, Nanotechnology, Photonics, Plasmonics, Optoelectronics, and Material Science, bolstered by extensive training in various nanofabrication and nano-characterization techniques.
Abstract: This work highlights the effectiveness of engineered Transparent Conducting Oxides in facilitating a strong mid-infrared (mid-IR) plasmonic resonance. This enhancement is directly observable through a substantial and broad 23% and 21% reduction in mid-IR transmission for two different TCOs, representing the highest documented resonance levels.
