“…In this research area, we first researched, established and reported, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, an optical analogue between the Thomas rotation angle effect found in SR, and the phase response of an optical All-Pass Filter (APF) in Photonic Integrated Circuits, (PICs) 6 . The Thomas Effect is one of the counter-intuitive phenomena in SR while the APF is one of the key building blocks in PICs.…”

Engaging undergraduate students in the Philippines in photonics research with a novel publication-driven online mentoring approach," Proc.ABSTRACT This paper discusses a publication-driven, education-by-research model of engaging undergraduate students in Photonics/Optics/Physics research by requiring that all activities lead to journal publication within a year. It is based on a non-traditional university-industry collaboration arrangement that has the following unique features.First, it utilizes offshore-based alumni (in the USA) who are active in science and technology research as mentors for the students (in the Philippines) in conjunction with the university professor advisers. We adopt inexpensive online collaboration technologies to support their virtual presence.Second, our research topic "fuses" uniquely two separate courses of study, namely: (i) the traditional Special Relativity in Physics and (ii) the fast emerging Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), into an innovative research area we have called "Special-Relativity-on-a-Chip". It has the flavor of physics education combined with a taste of the latest in PICs technology. It enhances the textbook understanding of Physics/Engineering while providing potential publication opportunities.Third, the research activities are focused mainly on modelling, simulations and design. These activities strengthen students' learning since they concentrate on and master specific mathematical/Physics/programming skills. The goal of the project is to publish 5 journal papers, and so far, (i) 3 journal papers have been published, (ii) 1 international conference paper has been accepted for oral presentation, and (iii) 3 national conference papers have been submitted for publication.We also examine the existing research structure in the university to ensure the project's success and share best practices.

“…Furthermore, for researchers, the work on STR is experimentally difficult to implement since they often necessitate outer-space environments and conditions that are costly and extremely troublesome to replicate in traditional laboratories (e.g., very fast velocity, the presence of strong gravity, cosmic radiation, extreme temperatures, and vacuum). 4 Moreover, bulky, sophisticated, and costly instruments are typically required for such endeavors.…”

“…Thus, a challenge for scientists and physics education researchers is to conceive and develop novel analogue implementation platforms through which STR and its relativistic effects and/or concepts can be studied easily using available and common technological platforms. In recent years, we have been researching three main relativistic effectsnamely the (a) Relativistic Aberration of Light (RAL), 4,5 (b) Thomas Rotation Effect (TRE), [6][7] and (c) Einstein's Velocity Addition (EVA). 8 A unique aspect of our research approach is that we employ different implementation schemes to mimic a specific behavior or property of any of the three aforementioned relativistic effects.…”

We present a novel framework referred to as Concept Connectivity that aids in educating and engaging students by presenting the topic of the Special Theory of Relativity (STR) in a coherent and unified manner. It uses different analogue implementations of the STR coming from seemingly distinct fields of study such as (i) Optics, (ii) Photonics, and (iii) Electronics to connect not only to the concepts of the STR but to the various concepts from these different fields. In these analogue implementations, the fundamental characteristics of the different STR phenomena can be mimicked in many different ways. Concept Connectivity has two major benefits. First, from an educational perspective, undergraduate students can (i) understand advanced physical phenomena (like STR) from different points of view, (ii) bridge together different learnings or concepts from Physics, Optics, Photonics, and Electronics, and (iii) learn hands-on knowledge and engineering skills from Optics and Electronic experimentations when these analogues are incorporated in undergraduate physics lectures and laboratory courses. In this way, Concept Connectivity contributes to the growing pedagogical approaches used in science education with an emphasis on Photonics, Optics and Electronics. Second, from a research perspective, Concept Connectivity provides undergraduate students with a rare "taste of research experience" related to the challenge of merging different concepts in STR using principles in Optics, Photonics, and Electronics.
