During NLO 2011 there will be a symposium celebrating the 50th anniversary of nonlinear optics. I don’t want to emphasize the well-known speckle which was removed from the famous paper in Physical Review Letters by P. Franken, et al., demonstrating nonlinear optical effects for the first time appeared in 1961. I do want to pay tribute to the great scientist Raman here. Let us start with a question: When Raman observed Raman scattering in 1928, there was no laser. What was his light source? (I wish I had prizes for correct answers!) The answer----“The apparatus used by Raman for the discovery consisted of a mirror for deflecting sunlight, a condensing lens, a pair of complementary glass filters, a flask containing benzene and a pocket spectroscope. the total cost not exceeding $25 ” [1] Raman observed not only the Stokes radiation, which has the lower photon energy than the incident photon, but the extremely weak anti-Stokes radiation. Below are a few notable things that I know about t...

(Please click on the images for a high-resolution one.) You may be familiar with the function generator, which is available in most of the physics labs and the simplest version of an electronic waveform generator [1]. It is much more difficult to synthesize arbitrary optical waveforms since the optical frequencies are much higher. The electronic synthesis is generally limited to ns time scales while the optical synthesizer is in the femtosecond range. Synthesizing optical waveforms requires both broadband coherent light and precise control over the phase and amplitudes for the frequency components. Therefore it is natural to combine the frequency comb technology with the pulse shaping technique, which may enable optical arbitrary waveform generation (OAWG), as discussed in a progress article written by Steven Cundiff, the session presider and A. Weiner, one of the invited speakers in the same session and the most famous person in the pulse shaping area [2]. The application, as point...

Check out this amazing photo! It belongs to a guy in New Jersey named Gene. His story is, "Back in February of 1967, my dad took me and my younger brother Michael over to the Old Armory in West Orange, NJ, where they used to have great Hot Rods and Stock Car Shows. My Dad took this lone photo of us in front of one of the five original BATMAN TV 1966 Batmobiles!" WOW!!! Gene strongly believes the Custom Car he saw in 1967 was the #4 Batmobile ( the vehicle used for all the drag racing scenes ) because of the elaborate seat belt harnesses he and his brother recall seeing in the interior. Also, CHECK OUT the awesome life-size cardboard cutouts of Adam & Burt to the far right!!! This is a Classic Childhood Photograph! I wanna thank BatDave for bringing it to our attention & especially thank Gene for sharing his wonderful childhood memory... great stuff!

For your viewing pleasure, here are a few BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Wallpaper Backgrounds I whipped-up last night to brighten your desktop. They feature a few characters from the new Video Game: Robin, Catwoman, & The Penguin!

The Mezco Toy Company has announced a brand-new BATMAN MEGA SCALE MEZ-ITZ FIGURE that will be 18 Inches Tall! It's way bigger than previous versions ( 2" and 6" ) and will come in 2 color variations: Limited Edition Black and Gray and Ultra Rare Variant Limited Edition Blue and Grey ( I like the blue one the best ). He features a real cloth cape and 5 points of articulation. Now, before you fall in love, the retail price will be around $200.00, OUCH! This new toy will premiere at the world famous San Diego Comic Con ( 2011 SDCC ) but will also be available at the Official MEZCO Website, click HERE!

Here at the Bat-Blog we love getting fan mail but this one totally ROCKS! "LONG LIVE THE BAT-BLOG!"

Here's an interesting video shot at New York Comic Con of an almost 1-hour speech by Michael Uslan, the Producer of the Batman Movies. This is part one ( 10 minutes ) & there are 5 total, that you can enjoy at YouTube. Basically, he shares his stories about being a HUGE Comic Book Fan & going to early Comic Book Conventions. In fact, he went to the VERY FIRST Comic Con in NYC back in the 1960's. Now the reason I'm posting this video is because he talks about Batman, a lot!

The BAT-BLOG recently had a fan named Thomas send us these pictures to share and they're pretty interesting. Thomas has a friend who is a Sculptor & Product Designer who does custom artwork with metal. Thomas said, "I always thought it was pretty cool and he made really awesome stuff, but I never thought it would be anything I'd want to buy... until NOW!" Ha! What he's talking about is this amazing BATMAN SYMBOL LOGO Wall Relief Sculpture. Meaning, that it has a sort of 3D quality about it. Batman Fans will all know the symbols used here. Basically we got the "Classic Yellow Oval", then the more "Modern-Day" version. Then on top of that is the current logo used for the movie franchise...WOW! I gotta say that this piece of art is really cool & looks extremely well-done. If you enjoy CUSTOM ART, then please be sure to visit the Artist's website. His name is Elliott Bowser & you can see his stuff HERE! ( Thanks Thomas )

Here's a short video from the UK production team bringing the BATMAN LIVE World Arena Tour to life. It's main focus is on the choreography of the fight scenes.

Most of you who read this blog probably have received an email newsletter from OSA yesterday. I was offended when I read the first sentence of the message from the president ( President’s message, JUNE OPN ): “If you’re reading this, the chances are you’re male.” I am a female yet I am reading this, I said to myself. As I read on I realize that the president tried to help women in optics. He mentioned that “our best estimate is that fewer than 1 in 10 of our regular and Fellow members are female.” There will around 150 participants for the 2011 NLO. I wonder how many of them are female? 20 years ago I started college in the department of optical engineering department in Zhejiang University , which is the first institute for optics education and research in China. The ratio of female and male students is 1 to 7. After we graduated, I am the only one of the 8 who shared the same dormitory who continues to be in optics. As one of the very few in the Quantum optics group here lead by Dr. ...

Here's a brand-new Batman product to totally keep an eye out for! It's a HARLEY QUINN Mimobot USB FLASH DRIVE created by Mimoco! But don't go looking for these at Retail Stores. This baby will only be available at the next San Diego Comic Con. This 2011 SDCC Exclusive is sure to sell out! Oh yeah, for people who can't go to this event ( like me ) I'm sure they will be all over eBay. Now, you might remember an article posted here at the BAT-BLOG awhile back where we introduced the 1st BATMAN-THEMED Mimobot Flash Drives that Mimoco made. Those included: Batman, Robin, The Joker, and Catwoman. In case you haven't seen 'em, you can view them by clicking HERE!

Here are some brand-new pieces of Batman merchandise just in time for Summer! Superhero Stuff is now selling DC Comics Beach Towels. The picture up above shows the 3 different Batman Towels they are offering ( The 1st one is my favorite ). There are also a couple with Superman graphics but who cares about him, ha ha! ( Just kidding ) To view then all, or buy a few, then just click the button down below:
