GFP 2011 - 8TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON GROUP IV PHOTONICS(GFP 2011)

The 8th International Conference on Group IV Photonics

London, England | 14-16 September 2011

The IEEE International Conference on Group IV Photonics (GFP) represents a major international forum to present and discuss recent research advances of photonic devices and materials based on group IV elements, and highlights the developments in Silicon Photonics. GPF 2011 is the eighth in a series which began in Hong Kong in 2004, and was hosted in rotation among Europe, North America and Asia. GPF 2011 will be held in London, England from 14 to 16 September 2011.

Topics of GFP 2011 span from fundamental research in novel devices and materials to the developments of photonic circuits using monolithic or hybrid integration technologies. Applications range from optical interconnects and communications to biomedical sensing devices, from novel concepts in solar cells to optical micro electro-mechanical systems. Contributions are solicited on recent developments in group IV photonic devices operating at wavelengths within the wide spectrum ranging from the ultraviolet to the very far infrared (terahertz). The conference also encourages contributions that describe monolithic or hybrid integration of compound semiconductor structures upon silicon. The topics are organized in 3 sections: Photonic Devices and Nanophotonics, Silicon Photonics Integration and Active Device Technologies, and Advanced Material and Fabrication Technologies.

All colleagues interested in the recent progresses and future challenges are invited to participate in GFP 2011 and encouraged to submit their technical contributions.
