Congress

In 2012 the OSA Optics and Photonics Congress
will replace the traditional Laser Optics Congress.

OSA congresses bring together top researchers in specialized optics fields to discuss and share the latest research on a variety of topics.
Coupling the program with Laser Optics Berlin, which takes place in a core region of the European optics industry, will only enhance that experience.

Christopher Dainty, President, OSA

Planned topics OSA Optics and Photonics Congress:

This Optics and Photonics Congress (OPC) is designed to examine some of the latest research advances in Optical Physics and Chemistry.

The advent of ultra-short pulse, extremely high power lasers is making it possible to examine material system responses to very intense light beams and to study the evolution of the structure and optical properties of these systems as they are strongly perturbed.
Of equally strong interest are the subtle effects observed when photons are generated in entangled states. These entangled photons have the potential of leading to major advances in the development of advanced information and computing systems.

This Congress on research topics in the optical sciences includes three meetings which will bring together world renowned researchers to discuss forefront advances in the optical sciences. The High-Intensity Lasers and High Field Phenomena (HILAS) meeting will discuss the latest developments in high peak power lasers and the material interactions resulting from the use of these lasers.

A related meeting in this OPC, the 2ND International Conference on Ultrafast Structural Dynamics, will examine material system structural modifications at ultra-short time scales and the time evolution of these modifications.

The third meeting, Quantum Information and Measurement (QIM), will present the most recent research advances in the field of entanglement phenomena and will examine how this phenomena may be exploited to advance information transfer and processing technologies.
