Gordon K. P. Lei was awarded the IEEE Best Student Paper Award at the 14th OptoElectronics and Communications Conference (OECC 2009) held at Hong Kong, July 13 - 17, 2009. The paper was entitled "Conversion of 40 Gb/s OTDM to 4×10 Gb/s WDM Channels with Extinction Ratio Enhancement by Pump-Modulated Four-Wave Mixing Using Time- and Wavelength-Interleaved Laser Pulses" by Gordon K. P. Lei and Professor Chester Shu.

Two MPhil students, Mr Li Pak-Wing and Miss Meng Meng, have recently won the first- and third-prize in the IEEE (HK) AP/MTT Postgraduate Conference held on 24 October 2009, with paper entitled: "A new unequal power-divider design with enhanced insertion loss flatness" and "An analytical approach to computer aided diagnosis of lossy microwave coupled resonator filters", respectively. Conference participants include research students from HK and mainland universities.
