Your biweekly roundup of some of the most interesting and exciting news impacting the photonics industry! This week...

• University of Bonn researchers can now imprint a simple lattice structure on a super photon, which could someday make communication tap-proof
• A team at Synopsys has designed a first-of-its-kind comprehensive virtual prototyping platform for system-level imaging
• IPG Photonics has officially sold its Russian subsidiary, IRE-Polus, and Lightwave Logic has named two new members to its Board of Directors
• A chip-scale photonic modulator that can control light on a silicon photonic microchip is addressing an evolving national security risk

Check out this really interesting interview with Caroline Boudoux, Ph.D., a renowned leader in the photonics and optics industry. She wears many hats, including professor of Engineering Physics at Polytechnique Montréal, and researcher at the Sainte-Justine University Hospital in Montréal, the University of Montréal's Biomedical Engineering Institute, and the Center for Optics, Photonics, and Lasers in Quebec. She is also co-founder and co-president of Castor Optics, Chair of Optica’s Biophotonics Congress, a member of the Board of Directors of the National Optics Institute in Quebec, and an SPIE fellow. Caroline has authored several books, as well, including the recently released, It Goes Without Saying: Taking the Guesswork out of your Ph.D. in Engineering.
