Student Support for the 2010 Integrated Photonics Research, Silicon and Nano Photonics Topical Meeting on July 25-28 in Monterey, CA

2010年集成光子学研究、硅和纳米光子学专题会议将于2010年7月25日至28日在加利福尼亚州蒙特利的蒙特利广场酒店举行，会议的目的是在一个小组中与该领域的领导者讨论快速发展的技术。知识价值：会议将聚集该领域的关键领导者，展示集成光子学研究的最新进展，并将讨论光通信、计算、存储、显示和监控方面的未来发展和应用。会议讨论将通过汇集来自不同学科的研究人员来推进研究的前沿，以定义和回答他们未来几十年的新兴需求。更广泛的影响：自1972年以来，集成光子学研究专题会议一直是解决该技术的主要论坛。它汇集了该领域的理论和实验国际专家。会议提供了一个小型平台，有利于直接对话和讨论确定光子集成的新方向，特别是新的硅和纳米光子技术。这项研究涵盖了多学科的科学领域，影响了从信息技术到生物医学传感的广泛应用。这次美国光学学会专题会议将有助于培训参加会议的学生，并将通过会议技术摘要传播这些主题。

ObjectiveThe objective of the 2010 Integrated Photonics Research, Silicon and Nano Photonics Topical Meeting, to be held at the Monterey Plaza Hotel in Monterey, California, on July 25-28, 2010, is to discuss the rapidly evolving technology, in a small group, with leaders in the field. Intellectual merit:The conference will assemble the key leaders in the field to present recent advances in Integrated Photonics research and will discuss future developments and applications in optical telecommunication, computing, storage, displays and monitoring. The meeting discussions will advance the leading edge of the research by bringing together researchers from the different disciplines, to define and answer their emerging needs of the next decades.Broader impact:The Integrated Photonics research Topical Meeting has been the premier forum addressing the technology since 1972. It gathers both theoretical and experimental international experts in the field. The meeting offers a small platform conducive to direct dialog and discussions in identifying novel directions in photonics integration, enabled in particular by novel silicon and nano photonic technologies. This research covers multidisciplinary fields of science and impacts a broad range of applications, from the information technology to biomedical sensing.This Topical Meeting of the Optical Society of America will contribute to the training of participating students and the topics will be disseminated through the Conference Technical Digest.
