3 PRESIDENT S WORD With the establishment of new benchmarks through the years, SPIE Student Chapter at Acharya Narendra Dev College has proved to be a huge success. From a group of handful of students to a family of young and innovative minds, SPIE at ANDC has always believed in unanimity and developing young talents to come forward and work for its ultimate focus Easing and promoting optics and photonics. Since 2010, these 4 years have helped us mark various milestones in the history of SPIE Chapter ANDC, as a result we have grown collectively and are still proceeding towards new horizons of achievements. As being the president of the SPIE Chapter at ANDC, I feel elated and honoured to hereby showcase our chapter s achievements in this fourth consecutive Annual Report of SPIE Student Chapter University of Delhi at ANDC for the academic year This year has been quite fun filled with its inception from the workshop on Innovative Pedagogies for modern optics and photonics which was a two-day workshop with first day dedicated to demonstration of geometrical optics kit and low cost fibre optics kit to the student attendees, whereas the second day was planned for hands- on wave optics related experiments using low cost CCDs and also we were able to reconstruct a 3D hologram also. Some of our chapter members attended and went for poster presentation in the IISER Kolkata Winter School Then in February, few of our chapter member went to CUSAT Cochin, Kerala to attend Annual Photonics Workshop on the occasion of National Science Day. This year in February, Mohd. Aiman Ali Raza, our student member made his mark in SPIE's one of the most prestigious and biggest conferences Photonics West held in San Francisco, CA, USA. Further in March, we were graced with the presence of Dr. Philip. H. Stahl, The President of SPIE who gave a remarkable presentation on the development of James Webb Space Telescope. His visit to our college filled us with a whole new enthusiasm and urge to work and explore even more. Our chapter triumphed so far under the supervision of one person, our guide Dr. Amit Garg. It will be futile without mentioning his efforts behind our success. I respect his striving hard work for our chapter in its continued endeavour. All of us have been fortunate to be able to explore the depth of optics and photonics under his guidance. Lastly, my good wishes to all my peers and juniors who are rigorously working for the society to elevate its position every successive year and hope that this journey of fathoms of success is longstanding.

10 WORKSHOP ON INNOVATIVE PEDAGOGIES FOR MODERN OPTICS AND PHOTONICS This workshop which was conducted by our SPIE student members, Faculty Adviser and external resource person on October 2013 to keep ourselves intact with developments in the field of optics and photonics. It began with demonstrations of Geometrical Optics kit and Low cost Fibre Optics kit to new aspiring students who had signed up for SPIE Membership. Furthermore, all the students were given a chance to work hands-on the experimental setup of Analysing Diffraction and Interference patterns using low cost CCD s and Studying the properties of light through polarisation. This allowed students to probe into the depth of these concepts. Apart from this, a workshop on Reconstruction of a 3D hologram was also scheduled on these days. Reconstruction of a 3D hologram was completely fascinating concepts for the students, which in fact attracted many students and made this two-day workshop succeed in its motive to promote optics through a more advanced vision.
