ABSTRACT
2015 Siegman International School on Lasers will take place place 2-7 August, 2015 in Amberg, Germany. The Siegman International School is a week-long program that exposes students to in-depth learning of lasers and their applications from internationally recognized academic and industry leaders in the field. The scope includes all aspects of lasers and photonics. This program consists of lectures, networking events, professional development programs, poster presentations and research sharing and brings together the top 100 student applicants from around the world. With a commitment to ensuring diverse representation, OSA strived for a minimum of 10% attendance from developing nations.

The Siegman International School on Lasers: 2015, 2-7 August 2015, Amberger Congress Centrum, Amberg, Germany
The Siegman International Summer School on Lasers: 2015 (The Siegman School) was a week-long program that exposed students to in-depth learning of lasers and their applications from internationally recognized academic and industry leaders in the field. The school took place in Amberger Congress Centrum, Amberg, Germany, on August 2-7, 2015. The program was organized by the Optical Society and co-founded by IPG Photonics. Max Planck Institute hosted The Siegman School in 2015. OSA invited 82 graduate students (including 24 female students) from 28 countries (including 13 developing countries) to attend the program.
The Siegman School provided opportunity to advance participants’ education, foster future collaborations, and promote research and engineering for the optical community by participating. Additionally, the program provided a strong foundation for future leaders in the field, and exposed them to areas and topics they may not have access to within their current program of study. Lastly, the informal networking time with other students and instructors began building ongoing professional connections for all participants.
The scope of The Siegman School included all aspects of lasers and photonics. The one-week program consisted of the following topics: Applications, Fiber Lasers, Solid State Lasers, Nano Lasers/Exotic Laser Systems, Silicon Photonics, Quantum Theory of Lasers, and Semiconductor Lasers. This program included lectures, networking events, professional development programs, poster presentations and research sharing.
Classes were conducted with international experts giving students excellent exposure to leaders in the field, and out-of-classroom discussion time. Attendees had the opportunity to learn from nine distinguished faculty including Vahid Sandoghdar, Germany; Marlan Scully, USA; Jens Limpert, Germany; Roel Baets, Belgium; Clemens Kaminski, United Kingdom; Franz Kärtner, Germany; Anatoly Grudinin, United Kingdom; Marie-Emmanuelle Couprie, France; Eli Kapon, Switzerland; and, Alexander Killi, Germany.
By bringing together 82 students from 28 countries and providing exposure to the internationally recognized academic and industry leaders in the field of lasers and photonics, we anticipate greater outcomes in the sciences; technological advances and exponential benefits to society in general in the short and long run. This program will also affect future careers of attendees.
