Topics of interest at this year's conference:
Advances in guided wave photonics and fiber optics are continuing to add new capabilities to our ability to transmit and manipulate data.
Many physical phenomena in glasses including the fundamentals of photosensitivity, glass relaxation and poling, the fabrication and properties of grating structures, and the numerous applications that these glasses are being applied to.
Numerous advances in integrated photonics and fiber optics including the development of integrated photonic circuits, 3D photonics, active and passive waveguides as well as the application of these technologies to data centers and optical networks.
The new areas in fiber sensing and mid-infrared guided wave optics will also be reported on.
Nonlinear effects in fibers and planar waveguide structures, many aspects of soliton physics, nonlinear frequency conversion in waveguides, quantum effects, and the effects of nonlinearities in photonics devices and networks as impairments or as a means to regenerate, modify or switch signals will also be covered.
