Plan Now to Attend!
It is our pleasure to welcome your attendance at SPIE's 2011 International Symposium on Optics & Optoelectronics. An excellent technical programme has been prepared, focusing on recent advances in petawatt photonics, high-power and high-repetition rate systems, diode-pumped laser systems, and FELs, along with the latest advances in optical sensing, holography, x-ray optics, metamaterials, nonlinear and quantum optics.
More than 550 presentations prove that this event is recognized as an important forum for science, government, and industry to access and share information on optical technologies. The event's focus is especially on the research aspects of optics and optoelectronics, with a concentration on European and international science and technology.
The symposium features fifteen conferences including a special Workshop on HiPER: the European Pathway to Laser Energy, each including oral and poster presentations, as well as plenary presentations. The program promises an exciting week, with excellent science and technology in a setting conducive to international interchange, networking, and exchanging ideas. We would be pleased to welcome you in Prague.
Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy the magical city of Prague in the heart of Europe. We look forward to meeting you!
