Rudolf Kingslake Medal and Prize

The Rudolf Kingslake Medal is awarded annually in recognition of the most noteworthy original paper to appear in the Society's official journal, Optical Engineering, on the theoretical or experimental aspects of optical engineering. All papers published in the journal are automatically eligible for consideration for this award. (Nominations are not required.) Honorarium $2,000.

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.
