Thirty‐two  physics  students  in upper  secondary  schools  of  Armenia participated  in  the  project  “The  Big World of Physics”, which was organized by our chapter.  

During “The Big World of Physics” we  organized  scientific  journey  to  the main scientific organizations of Armenia: Yerevan  State  University  (YSU),  LT‐PYRKAL,  Russian‐Armenian  University (RAU)  and  Byurakan  Astrophysical Observatory of NAS (BAO).  

In  the  framework  of  the  project  students visited  research  groups  and  laboratories  of Optics,  Laser  physics,  Molecular  Physics,  Solid State  Physics  and  Semiconductor Physics  in YSU and RAU.  

The  technology  of  growth  of  crystals was shown to them in LT‐PYRKAL.

The visit to all scientific centers was accompanied by introductory lectures of institutions representatives.

In YSU we were welcomed by the dean of Physics Faculty, Academician R. Avagyan and vice-dean, Prof. L. Aslanyan.

In RAU our scientific guide was the dean of Department of Physics and Technology, Prof. H. Sarkisyan.

The exhibition of products of LT-PYRKAL cjsc, was introduced by director Dr. G. Buniatyan.

Listening to the lectures by director of BAO Prof. H. Harutyunian and co-president of Armenian Astronomical Society Dr. A. Mickaelian we had an excursion “through planets to stars”...

At the end of the Project “The Big World of Physics” the students received a certificate of participation.

Open Air Meeting

 

Last  year  we  began  a  good  tradition spending one  of our meetings in the open air. This year we spent our informal eeting in “Symphony of Stones”, which is located near Garni emple (1st century AD). mt 

“Symphony of Stones”, natural monument, located in Garni valley, is unique for its volcanic basalt columns of various sizes, which look like an organ, that is why the monument is called “Symphony of Stones”.

Plans of future chapter activities

 1) The most important of our activities is the organization: 

Internationa  Symposium on l

O P T I C S  & its applications  

 5 ­ 9  2011  September,

Yerevan ­ Ashtarak, Armenia  

  The  forthcoming  Symposium  is  dedicated  to  the  5th  anniversary  of  the  Yerevan  State 

University & National Academy of Sciences SPIE Student Chapter.  This scientific event will provide good opportunity for optics & photonics field scientists and industrial companies for information exchange. The objective of this symposium is to bring together xperienced and young scientists working on various aspects of optics, to discuss the most recent evelopments in that area.
