June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

LASER And Fibre Optics
1. The acronym LASER stands for Light Amplification by
Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
A laser is a device that generates light by a process called
STIMULATED EMISSION.
The theoretical explanation for laser oscillation was given by
A.L Schawlow and C.H. Townes in the year 1958. The 1st laser,
namely, Ruby Laser, was demonstrated by T.H. Maiman in the
year 1960.
Introduction
Unit-4 –LASER And Fibre Optics
2. The laser light exhibits some peculiar properties than compare with the convectional light.
Those are
• Highly directionality
• Highly monochromatic
• Highly intense
• Highly coherence
Highly directionality The light ray
coming ordinary light source
travels in all directions, but laser
light travels in single direction.
Characteristics of LASER
Highly directionality
3. The light from a normal monochromatic source spreads over a
range of wavelength of the order of 100 nm. But the spread is
of the order of 1 nm for laser
Since an ordinary light spreads in all directions, the
intensity reaching the target is very less. But in the case
of laser, due to high directionality, the intensity of laser
beam reaching the target is of high intense beam. For
example, 1 mill watt power of He-Ne laser appears to
be brighter than the sunlight.
Characteristics of LASER . . .
Highly intense
Highly monochromatic
Hence laser is highly monochromatic, that is, it can emit light
of single wavelength
4. The wave trains which are identical in phase and direction are
called coherent waves.
Characteristics of LASER . . .
Highly coherent
Since all the constituent photons of laser beam possess the
same energy, momentum and propagate in same direction,
the laser beam is said to be highly coherent.
Differences between ordinary light and Laser beam
5. If a photon of energy hv is incident on the atom. In the lower
state, the atom absorbs the incident photon and gets excited,
to jump the higher energy state. This process is called
absorption.
where B12 is the proportionality const. known as prob. of absorption of radiation per unit time.
Spontaneous and Stimulated emission
The rate of absorption R12 is proportional to the population of lower energy level N1 and to the
density of incident radiation ρ. Hence
Absorption
Atom + photon = Atom*
E1 + hv = E2
hv = E2 - E1
R12 α N1ρ
or R12 = B12N1ρ
6. Spontaneous and Stimulated emission . . .
Spontaneous emission
It is a process in which there is an emission of a photon
whenever an atom transits from a higher to lower energy state
without the aid of any external agency.
For this process to take place, the atom has to be in the excited state.
Since the higher energy level is an unstable one, the excited atom in the higher level E2
spontaneously returns to the lower energy level E1with the emission of photon of energy
hν = E2 - E1
Atom* = Atom + photon
where A21 is the proportionality constant known as prob. of spontaneous emission per unit time.
The rate of spontaneous emission of radiation R21(sp) is proportional to the population N2 at
the higher energy level E2. Hence
R21(sp) α N2
or R21(sp) = A21N2
7. Spontaneous and Stimulated emission . . .
Stimulated emission
It is a emission of photon whenever an atom transits from a
higher to lower energy state under the influence of an external
agency i.e., an external photon.
For this process to take place, the atom has to be in the excited state.
Let a photon having an energy hν interact with the atom in the excited state. This incident
photon triggers the excited atom in the higher level E2 to transit to lower level E1, resulting in
the emission of another photon of energy hν.
Both the inducing (incident) and the emitted photon have the same phase, energy and
direction of movement.
where B21 is the proportionality constant known as prob. of stimulated emission per unit time.
This kind of emission is responsible for laser action.
R21(st) α N2 ρ
or R21(st) = B21N2 ρ
The rate of stimulated emission of radiation R21(st) is proportional to the population N2 at the
higher energy level E2 and to the density ρ of the inducing photon.
9. Working of LASER
Population Inversion
It is a state of achieving more
number of atoms in excited state
compared to ground state. It is an
essential condition for producing
laser beam.
Population inversion can be
achieved by a process called
pumping.
Pumping Mechanism
It is the mechanism of exciting atoms from the lower energy state to
a higher energy state by supplying energy from an external source.
The most commonly used pumping mechanism are: optical,
electrical and direct.
10. Working of LASER . . . Pumping Mechanism . . .
Optical Pumping
In this type a direct conversion of electric energy into light takes place. This technique is
adopted in semiconductor laser.
In addition to above three, the other types of pumping are inelastic collision between atoms and
chemical methods which are respectively adopted in He-Ne gas laser and in dye and chemical
lasers.
In this type of pumping, atoms are excited by means of an
external optical source. This type is adopted in solid state lasers
such as ruby and Nd: YAG laser.
Electrical Pumping
In this type of pumping the electrons are accelerated to a high velocity by a strong electric
field. These moving electrons collide with the neutral gas atoms and ionize the medium. Thus,
due to ionization they get raised to a higher energy level. This technique is adopted in gas
lasers such as CO2 laser.
Direct Conversion
11. Working of LASER . . .
Life time
The limited time for which an atom remains in the excited is known as life time.
Metastable state
It is an energy level in an atomic system where
the life time of atoms is very large (of the order
10-3 to 10-2 seconds).It helps in achieving the
population inversion.
13. Working of LASER . . .
Components of LASER . . .
It is a pair of reflecting surfaces (mirrors) of which one is a
perfect reflector and the other is a partial reflector. It is used
for amplification of photons thereby producing an intense
and highly coherent output.

18. Optical Fibre Construction
Refractive index 𝜂 =
𝑐
𝑣
The ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its
speed in a specific medium.
The refractive index of glass ng is 1.52 and refractive index of water nw is 1.33. Since the
refractive index of glass is higher than the water, the speed of light in water is faster than the
speed of light through glass.
20. Working Principle of Optical Fibre
Let us consider a point source O in optically denser
medium (Water or medium with high refractive index).
As the angle of incidence increases, the angle of refraction also increases.
Total Internal Reflection
Let XY be the boundary separating the optically denser
medium.
At a particular angle of incidence ic, called as Critical angle, the angle of refraction is 90°
and hence the refracted ray moves along the surface of water i.e. along XY.
If the angle of incidence is more than ic, there is no
refracted ray, the incident ray is completely reflected
back in the water. This phenomenon is known as total
internal reflection.
Optical fiber works on the principle of total internal
reflection.
26. Optical Fiber in Communication System:
Information signal source:
•The information signal to be transmitted
may be voice, video or computer data
(analog signals).
• In order to communicate through
optical fiber, the analog signals are
converted into electrical signals.( by
Analog to Digital converter)
•The converted electrical signals are
passed through the transmitter.
27. Optical Fiber in Communication System:
Transmitter:
•The transmitter is a modulator device used
to receive electrical input signal, and then
modulate it into digital pulses for
propagation into an optical fiber.
•The modulator consists of a driver and a
light source as shown in fig. The driver
receives the electrical signals and then
converts into the digital pulses. These digital
pulses are converted into optical signals after
passing through a light source, generally
either light emitting diodes (LED’s) or a
semi conductor laser is used as light source.
•The optical signals are then focused into the
optical fiber as shown in fig.
28. Optical Fiber in Communication System:
Optical Fiber (or) Transmission
medium:
•The optical fiber is used as transmission
medium between the transmitter and the
receiver.
•The optical signals are then fed into an
optical fiber cable where they are
transmitted over long distances using the
principle of total internal reflection.
29. Optical Fiber in Communication System:
Receiver:
•The receiver is a demodulator device used to receive the
optical signals from the optical fiber and then convert
into electrical signals.
•The demodulator consists of a photodetector, an
amplifier and a signal restorer.
•The optical signals which are emerging from the optical
fiber are received by photo detector.
•The photodetector converts the optical signals into
electrical signals.
•The electrical signals are then amplified by the amplifier
and the amplified electrical signals are converted into
digital form.
•The amplified electrical signals are fed to a signal
restorer where the original voice is recovered.
