This EOS Topical Meeting is part of the third EOS Annual Meeting 2010 that will be held in Paris, France, from 26 - 29 October 2010 alongside the PRI-OPTO exhibition (26 - 28 October). Previous meetings took place in 2008 and 2006 with more than 650 attendees. Be a part of EOSAM 2010 and take this excellent opportunity to exchange new ideas and latest research results!
Register now until 27 September to benefit of the early-bird fee.
Synopsis
The 21st century is the century of photonics and of the revolution triggered by energy resources. Sustainable technologies based upon optics and photonics picture a challenging future. These new technologies, adequately located inside devices for energy production, involve fundamental aspects of physics such as interaction of matter with radiation, with particular emphasis on photon optics, physical properties of materials in the optical band, the physics of semiconductors and new photo-materials, among other relevant subjects. Those fundamental issues concern basic physical processes such as the photovoltaic effect, currently revisited for new flexible designs and devices. The related new emerging technologies contemplate topics such as silicon photonics, structures for the harvesting of light, solar energy, design and fabrication of optical elements with high optical performances, such as photovoltaic concentrators. This is indeed a short sketch of the vast field involving optics and energy, covered in the core lectures of the forum.
There is in addition another interpretation of the subjects mentioned. Global economy is facing as well a period of challenges and scientists are urged to provide answers and initiatives by facilita-ting the feasibility of a wide dissemination of new sustainable energy transfer of technology. In this challenge, no restrictions apply, and both developed and developing societies may share the new future assuring a better quality of life.
The International Commission for Optics has as main objective the support for the dissemination of optics and photonics all over the world. This new venture with the European Optical Society, as one part of the international societies partners inside ICO, will offer, for the first time, a forum addressed to scientists, young researchers, technicians, and in general, to all those interested in this new field of current impact and strong development.
