ILLUMINATI- ALTAR OF SCIENCE

Dear all, It is long time since I had post any activities in our department. Actually I was waiting so that I could post it BIG. Any way I wish you (belated) Happy Christmas and Happy New Year. Let me take this opportunity to share some information about Observatory and its prospects with regard to our development of our Department.

          Today, Department of Physics was able to organize a talk by Professor V P N Namboodiri, currently emeritus professor at the international school of photonics under Cochin University of Science And  Technology (CUSAT) and emeritus professor at Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), on Non Linear optics-its properties and application. The talk highlighted on the application on Non-linear materials in optical shutter application. It was quite informative as it touched many of the basic aspects of Non-Linear Optics. I thank Professor V P N Namboodiri for taking efforts in coming to our department on time (sharp 9:30 am) and enlighten us with his tremendous, spirited talk. It is an inspiration for all the young minds in our department to see real man of science delivering a talk. We also celebrated nation Integrity day.
