Abstract :Active Alignment for Photonics Assembly is a key technology in high-precision manufacturing. It ensures sub-micron accuracy by continuously optimizing component positioning in real time. Unlike passive alignment methods, Active Alignment uses live optical feedback to achieve the highest possible performance. The technology is essential for applications that demand exceptional optical precision, including Camera modules & LiDAR systems, Laser beam shaping & external cavity resonators, Optical fibers & photonic integrated circuits (PICs), and Medical imaging & high-performance optics. This tutorial talk will provide an overview of Active Alignment for Photonics Assembly, key features and applications of the technology, and an opportunity for discussion with the <a href="http://presenter.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="presenter.Co-sponsored">presenter.Co-sponsored by: McGill Optica Student Chapter.

Please join us for the dedication of a new IEEE Milestone in London to commemorate the first use of Cobalt-60 Radiation Cancer Treatment Machines in 1951 on June 4th at 12 noon. The citation states " In 1951, two Canadian teams of medical physicists, engineers, and radiation oncologists in London and Saskatoon, independently, yet cooperatively, designed and assembled the first treatment machines that directed gamma radiation produced by radioactive cobalt-60 onto cancerous tumours in patients. First applied at Victoria Hospital on 27 October 1951, this revolutionary treatment has since been used to extend the lives of millions of patients around the world."

These systems fuse the physical world and the virtual world through computing resources to provide these immersive experiences rendered on the user's headset. As a result, it allows new opportunities for attackers to compromise the security and privacy of users that are not well understood. Towards understanding the security and privacy challenges in these systems, this talk presents a number of recent attacks we developed on AR/VR systems. One threat model exploits the shared computing resources used by multiple applications on a headset to extract information through side channels; we show attacks that spy on user activity or compromise privacy. Another threat model exploits the shared state among multiple users in a multi-user application, allowing malicious users to inject compromised information or to recover information they are not allowed to access. Other threat models include those that interfere with applications and cause the virtual model to become out of sync with the physical world, causing user motion sickness or bypassing safety guardrails. I will conclude with a discussion of potential defenses and ways to build more secure AR/VR <a href="http://experiences.---------------------------------------------------------------By" target="_blank" title="experiences.---------------------------------------------------------------By">experiences.---------------------------------------------------------------By registering for this event, you agree that IEEE and the organizers are not liable to you for any loss, damage, injury, or any incidental, indirect, special, consequential, or economic loss or damage (including loss of opportunity, exemplary or punitive damages).
