Previously called the IEEE LEOS Annual Meeting, the annual IEEE Photonics Conference 2012 has been scheduled from 23 to 27 September at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport Hotel, San Francisco.
The IEEE Photonics Conference (IPC) is a dynamic autumn event that welcomes renowned engineers and scientists from across the globe specializing in areas such as optical fiber networks, lasers, optoelectronics, and related lightwave and photonics technologies and applications.
IPC-2012 will include plenary talks on the industry’s critical issues, featuring 500 technical papers, in addition to hosting weekend events for students and experts, and a product exhibition.
The conference will be attended by over 600 photonics professionals interested in disciplines like planar waveguide technology, lasers, displays, photodetectors, biophotonics, sensors, integrated optics, photovoltaics, imaging systems, optoelectronics, non-linear and ultrafast optics, interconnects, microwave and nanophotonic devices and systems, optical fiber communications, and optoelectronic materials.
The 2012 plenary presentations will feature ‘Large-area, Flexible, Organic Photonics and Electronics’ by Takao Someya of University of Tokyo; The ‘Opto-Electronic Physics that Just Broke the Efficiency Record in Solar Cells’ by Eli Yablonovitch of University of California-Berkeley; ‘Driving VCSELs and Silicon Photonic Optical Interconnects to Brutal Area and Energy Efficiencies for Future Computing Systems’ by Ashok Krishnamoorthy of Oracle; and ‘3D Photonic Metamaterials and Transformation Optics’ by Martin Wegener of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
Tutorial talks will feature Coherent Communication by Peter Winzer of Bell Laboratories, Alcatel-Lucent USA; Solar Cells by Vikram Dalal of Iowa State University; Cavity Optomechanics by Kerry Vahala of California Institute of Technology; and Microwave Photonic Filters by Lute Maleki of OEWaves.
On 23 September, Photonics entrepreneurial session will be hosted by David Plant of McGill University that includes GOLD (Graduates of The Last Decade) session; and 50th Anniversary of the Semiconductor Laser Session & Reception.
The year 2012 welcomes only few papers featuring innovations and these may be submitted as post-deadline papers. Supplier exhibits are welcome at IPC-2012.
