IIT – FIBER OPTICS & PHOTONICS 2010 – GUWAHATI

International Conference on Fiber Optics and Photonics 2010 at Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati

Introduction : 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 is organized by Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT Guwahati), the premier institution located at the capital city of one of the most beautiful states 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.
Eligibility :
* Student should write to Dr Sunil Khijwania (skhijwania@iitg.ernet.in) that s/he wishes to be considered for these awards. Or else, the thesis advisor (professor involved in the work) can nominate the student author of the paper to be considered for the award.
* The student (or the nominee) should be the first author of the paper.
* The student (or the nominee) should make the presentation (either oral or poster).

Scope of  Conference : PHOTONICS 2010 will be focussed to the latest researches and state-of-the-art reviews in the following subjects/areas :
Nanophotonics Engineering and Technology / Green Photonics / Plasmonics / Biophotonics / Optical fibers including photonic crystal, polymer and subwavelength-diameter fibers / Microfluidics / Optical materials for micro/nano optics /     Near-Field, Integrated and Guided-Wave Optics and Thin Film Optics / Nonlinear Optics and Quantum Optics / Ultrafast optics and Photonics / Optical Communications, Networking and Switching Technologies / Optical Fiber Sensors /     Microwave Photonics / Optical fiber and waveguide devices (passive and active devices, fiber amplifiers, Fiber Lasers, fiber gratings, etc) / Integrated Optics and Optoelectronics / Optical computing, Optical Signal  / Processing, Optical Storage and Display / Theory, modeling and simulations of Photonic Components and devices /      Optical Sources, Detectors and related devices / Quantum Information and Quantum Computing / Contributory papers carrying original research in any of the topic mentioned above will be solicited.

Selection Procedure : The Award Committee will consider presentations by students for the above-mentioned prizes. The decision of the award committee would be based on originality and innovativeness/novelty of the idea/experimental technique, understanding of the problem and presentation skill of the student presenter. The paper could be co-authored; however only the student author would be awarded the prize. In case of multiple student authors, the prize money would be shared amongst them. Decision of the award Committee(s) would be announced at the concluding session of the conference.
