6 October 2009 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2009 with one half to Charles K. Kao "for groundbreaking achievements concerning the transmission of light in fibers for optical communication" and the other half jointly to Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith "for the invention of an imaging semiconductor circuit – the CCD sensor" The masters of light | 1

II-VI based magnetic semiconductors (MSs) with a direct and wide optical band gap are expected to show high potential for optical applications utilizing short wavelength laser diodes (LDs), such as 532-nm green and 475-nm blue LDs. II-VI MSs Zn1-xMnxTe and Zn1-xMnxSe exhibit their absorption edges at 428-544 nm and 428-458 nm, respectively. The edge is not so influenced by the Mn concentration, as is typically observed in Cd1-xMnxTe. We have confirmed that the Faraday rotation F in the ZnMnTe films deposited on quartz glass (QG) substrates is large near the absorption edge. | 3

Two of the principal challenges in biomedical nanoscience and personalized medicine are: a) the detection of disease at the earliest possible time prior to its ability to cause damage (diagnostics and imaging) and b) delivering treatment at the right place, at the right time whilst minimizing unnecessary exposure (targeted therapy with a triggered release). The former is dominated by optical methods, emerging “life on a chip” systems and the versatile magnetic resonance imaging technology. The latter remains an ongoing challenge. | 4
