The "International Conference on Fiber Optics and Photonics - PHOTONICS", held biennially in India is a premier conference in the emerging areas of Photonic science and engineering, device technologies, and engineering/industrial applications. "PHOTONICS - 2010" is aimed to bring together academicians, scientists, professionals, engineers and industrialists who work in the field broadly specified, but not limited to the following technical areas:

 

•·         Nanophotonics Engineering and Technology

•·         Plasmonics

•·         Biophotonics

•·         Optical fibers including photonic crystal, polymer and subwavelength-diameter fibers

•·         Microfluidics

•·         Optical materials for micro/nano optics

•·         Near-Field, Integrated and Guided-Wave Optics and Thin Film Optics

•·         Nonlinear Optics and Quantum Optics

•·         Ultrafast optics and Photonics

• Optical Communications, Networking and Switching Technologies

•·         Optical Fiber Sensors

•·         Microwave Photonics

•·         Optical fiber and waveguide devices (passive and active devices, fiber amplifiers, Fiber Lasers, fiber gratings, etc)

•·         Integrated Optics and Optoelectronics

•·         Optical computing, Optical Signal Processing, Optical Storage and Display

•·         Theory, modeling and simulations of Photonic Components and devices

• Optical Sources, Detectors and related devices
• Quantum Information and Quantum Computing

 

to explore recent technical advances and state-of-the-art reviews in the thrust zones of these specified fields. Hence, this conference, a unique forum of its own in Indian subcontinent, would be providing an opportunity to the researchers working in Photonics and Fiber Optics to learn new exciting/emerging topics and to foster the exchange of information, ideas and experiences among them on the topics of mutual interest for futuristic collaboration while interacting with the research and technology pioneers from across the globe in an intimate environment. This, in the process, would result in the growth of Photonics at large. In addition, this conference is intended to identifying and discussing outstanding Photonics science &technology issues towards the engineering/industrial applications areas of interest and to develop a long term relationships to interface the industrial/engineering need and Photonics technology through industries and international scientists/engineers.

 

 

Conference would be preceded by two-days of short courses on some of the emerging topics in photonics. It will offer invited and contributed paper presentations in oral and poster sessions. A technical exhibition will also be organized concurrently with the conference. In addition, a techno-commercial evening session would be organized on the second day of the conference offering an opportunity to the leading photonics industries and service providers in optical communication/photonics technologies to present the company profile and advertise their achievements to the research/technology pioneers and key photonics community from across the globe at a nominal fee.
