The International Conference on Fiber Optics and Photonics - PHOTONICS

Date of Function:December 11-15, 2010

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 technologies. The first Photonics conference (then named as CEOT-92 and later re-christened as Photonics) was held at Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore in 1992. Since then it has evolved to the leading forum and presently acknowledged as one of the most important conference in this area.

PHOTONICS 2010, the tenth in this series of biennial international conference, is aimed to bring together academicians, scientists, professionals, engineers and industrialists specializing in Fiber Optics and Photonics technologies from around the globe to explore recent technical advances with state-of-the-art reviews in the thrust zones of all the major topics to be covered in the conference and to delineate outstanding Photonics science & technology issues towards futuristic research and applications. Hence, this conference, a unique forum of its own in Indian subcontinent, would be providing an opportunity to discover recent technical advances, exchange of information/idea/experience and to germinate innovations exploring new aspects of the existing technology and its future applications while interacting with the research and technology pioneers from across the globe.

PHOTONICS 2010 is organized by Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT Guwahati), the premier institution located at the capital city of one of the most beautiful state of India in its north east region. Conference will be held at the Convocation Hall and Conference Center at IIT Guwahati during December 11-15, 2010. 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.

On behalf of my entire organizing team, I look forward to your participation to make the Conference a success and welcoming you at PHOTONICS 2010 to the best of our capacity, hospitality and extreme care.
