WORKSHOP

Integrated Photonics

By placing the photonic components on a common chip or a device, the goal of Integrated Photonics is to establish miniaturized and integrated photonic systems with various functions and with applications in: optical communications, imaging, quantum information processing, instrumentation, sensing, etc. In such integrated photonic systems, the on-chip light generation, transmission, modulation, amplification, and detection are achieved by a combination of photonic components including light sources, beam splitters, gratings, couplers, polarisers, interferometers, detectors and so on. Integrated photonics is influencing our everyday lives and will impact the way that we visualise and interact with the rest of the world. Integrated photonic systems for information processing and display will drive growth over the next decade.

Call for Papers

Taking the format of short, high-impact talks, this workshop aims to identify critical problems in the area of Integrated Photonics which could be addressed by collaborations between SU2P partners and others.  Coffee and lunch breaks will be scheduled with ample time to allow networking and follow-up of topics introduced in the presentation sessions. All registrants are expected to give a talk or present a poster.

Two forms of contribution are invited:

• Academic staff and industrial researchers are invited to deliver 5-minute presentations, with an additional 2-minutes provided for questions.  Presentations should highlight a promising scientific or technical capability, or alternatively should define an important unsolved problem in the theme area.
• Students and post-doctoral researchers are invited to submit posters for display during the coffee and lunch breaks

Places are strictly limited and early registration is essential.  Registration including coffee breaks and a buffet lunch is free for SU2P partner organisations.

To participate in the workshop register on-line at: http://www.su2p.com/SU2PWorkshop2.aspx

The registration deadline is 5pm, 17th February. Participants will receive email confirmation.
