WTM 2010 - 2010 IEEE Photonics Society Winter Topicals Meeting Series (WTM 2010)

Winter Topicals 2010
Majorca, Spain | 11 - 13 January 2010

Welcome to Majorca, Spain and the 2010 Photonics Society Winter Topical Meetings!

The Topical Meeting Series of the Photonics Society is the premier conference for emerging fields in photonic science, device technologies, and applications. The conferences are held in summer and winter to create the opportunity to learn about exciting new topics and to interact with the research and technology leaders in an intimate environment. A unique aspect of this conference series is that the Photonics Society membership suggest and organizes these meetings.

The 3rd annual 2010 Winter Topical Meetings are focussed on â?œNext Generation Photonic Devices and Applications.â?? There will be five meetings that will cover a broad area of technology and diverse applications. Over the 3 days of the conference, the following 5 Topical Meetings will be held:

â?¢ Photonics for Routing and Interconnects
â?¢ Advances in THz Devices and Applications
â?¢ Semiconductor Nanolasers
â?¢ Mid-IR Solid State Light Sources, Challenges, and Applications
â?¢ Advanced Imaging in Bio-Photonics

I would like to personally thank each of the Topical Chairs and the Program Committee Members who have volunteered and invested their time putting together these conferences. I also want to thank the tutorial and invited speakers for giving us their perspectives on the challenges of future optical networks. The combined efforts of the organizers and speakers is why this conference series has achieved its esteemed reputation. Finally I want to express my sincere appreciation to the Photonics Society staff for their professional organization and arrangements for the conference.

"The IEEE/Photonics Society Topicals Series serves as a breeding ground,
where experts launch the conferences of tomorrow!"
