The 2007 Rudolf Kingslake Medal and Prize is awarded to Monique Thual, Damien Malarde, Benoit Abherve-Guegen, Philippe Rochard, and Philippe Chanclou for their paper titled "Truncated Gaussian beams through microlenses based on a graded-index section" published in the January 2007 issue of Optical Engineering. This paper, selected by the Kingslake Awards Committee, is recognized for its development of a simple and low-cost microlens for optical communication systems involving the coupling of laser diodes or integrated waveguides to single-mode fibers (SMFs), and fiber-to-fiber interconnection.
