Introduction SPIE‐DCE Chapter at DELHI TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY is an active group in the

university and being associated with it has been a very memorable learning experience during my

PhD program and it is not only for me but for every other members of this chapter. Through this

student chapter, SPIE has provided all the students of our chapter who are interested in Optics and

Photonics, a gateway to connect to the outside world involved in this area. The student chapter has

rendered the much needed platform to bring all the students of the college together who share the

same zeal and interests.

There is a uniqueness in our chapter for most of our members are undergraduates studying

engineering in various fields such as Engineering Physics, Information and Communication

Technologies, Electrical, Mechanical and Polymer technology, to mention a few among many. So

what SPIE‐DCE chapter does for the undergraduates is that it induces interest in Optics and

Photonics and encourages the student to think beyond the traditional fields in their respective

branches.

SPIE Officer Travel grant from SPIE is a wonderful opportunity for our chapter members

to attend and present technical papers and to represent the chapter at the exhibition in the conference

SPIE Optics & Photonics. This also render us the opportunity to meet and interact with the most

eminent researchers in the field, some of those have authored the books we learn back home which is

very motivating and a humbling experience. At the chapter leadership workshops students discuss

and share inputs about how to manage our chapter better and how to popularize our chapters among

the new students in our colleges.

During my role as the chapter President I have always had support from my seniors and the

new chapter members, their enthusiasm and eagerness in organizing activities is very commendable.

I would particularly like to extend my thanks to other PhD researchers associated with our chapters:

Sahil Bhatia, Himanshu Chauhan, Kamal Kishor, Shruti, Than Singh and Preeti. But the most

important and beneficial role has been played by our faculty advisor Prof. R.K. Sinha. Despite his

busy schedule as a teacher, researcher, he has always found time and energy to help and motivate us

in chapter related activities. Finally I would like to thank Dirk, Tasha and Alison from SPIE for

their constant support in smooth running of our chapter.
