3rd Asia-Pacific Optical Sensors Conference 2012 (APOS2012)

Location:

Sydney, NSW, Australia

Duration:

31 January 2012 - 3 February 2012

The 3rd Asia-Pacific Optical Sensors Conference 2012 (APOS2012) will be held in Sydney, NSW, Australia, from January 31 to February 3, 2012. The Conference is jointly organized by the University of Sydney and University of NSW and is the third in the series since the original founding conference in Chengdu, China. The conference is the region’s key forum for reporting the latest progress in optical and photonic sensing technologies. It is the regions première meeting point for academic researchers, technical and business professionals and end user industries to share and exchange their ideas and R&D experiences. The previous event focused quite strongly on optical fibre and grating technologies, emphasising their explosive growth in the region. This event will have an added component on biophotonics recognising the growth it too is experiencing in the region.

EPIC Workshop on Manufacturing Processes for Photonic Components

Location:

Heinrich-Hertz-Institute, Berlin, Germany

Duration:

6 October 2011 - 7 October 2011

EPIC Workshop on Manufacturing Processes for Photonic Components

The workshop concept is based on oral presentations and poster presentations with the single aim of preparing participants for the discussions and work of the break out groups.

The goal is to produce results from the break-out sessions that will be influential and helpful in building business European companies involved in photonic manufacturing. Significant Networking is an objective.

Bi-lateral business discussions are encouraged.

Summer School On Plasmonics 2

Location:

Porquerolles Island, Côte d'Azur, France

Duration:

3 October 2011 - 7 October 2011

Plasmonics is an emerging discipline dedicated to the study of light building material provided by the collective oscillation of free electrons in metals like gold or silver. It is the basis of many research projects in physics, biophotonics , chemistry or medicine.
But this discipline is still rarely present in higher education programms and many PhD students and postdocs are involved in ambitious projects without the necessary electromagnetic basis for a proper understanding of the electromagnetic resonance.
