L'idéalisme Allemand: Héritage et enjeux

Pour son 8ième colloque annuel, les organisateurs de la conférence avec l'appui de l'Association des étudiants diplômés de l'Université d'Ottawa invitent la communauté étudiante à une réflexion générale sur l'idéalisme allemand et ses représentants (Kant, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, etc.). L'objectif est d'ouvrir un espace propice à une discussion sur les points marquants de cette tradition. Nous sommes particulièrement intéressés aux problèmes philosophiques touchant les appropriations et les critiques de la tradition de l'idéalisme allemand.

German Idealism: Legacies and Controversies



The conference organizers and the Graduate Philosophy Student Association at the University of Ottawa invite submissions relating to any aspect of German Idealism and its major representatives (Kant, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, etc.). We are particularly interested in projects that explore various appropriations and critiques of this tradition since its height in the early nineteenth century. Our goal is to open up a space for creative engagement with key issues in German Idealism from a wide array of critical (and potentially divergent) perspectives.

All-fiber devices: from multi-parameter sensors to spectrum

The advent of fiber optics in the 1960s has led to the most rapid development of high speed telecommunication networks. Nowadays the uses of optical fibers are extending into diverse fields ranging from sensorial applications to spectroscopic measurements, from illuminating sources to biomedical images. In this talk I will describe fabrication techniques for several optical fiber devices, such as polymer-coated fiber Bragg gratings, tapered fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometers, femtosecond laser inscribed long period fiber gratings, fiber core mode attenuators, and fiber bandpass filters.
