View The 2nd Symposium on Infrared Materials and Technologies

PURPOSE OF THE SYMPOSIUM

The infrared spectral region is important for a broad range of applications including fiber-optic and free-space communications, remote sensing, laser radar, missile countermeasures, meteorology, biomedical imaging, surgery, and basic spectroscopy. In addition, recent advances in sources, modulators, and detectors have made infrared technology development an extremely active area of research and development.

The purpose of this symposium is to bring together leading researchers in academia, industry, and government agencies interested in infrared materials and technologies to assess the state-of-the-art in this field, and to identify the grand challenges in both the fundamental science and at device and systems levels that need to be addressed in the coming years.

The program will include but not be limited to topics in following areas:

• IR Materials and Applications
• Semiconductor IR Lasers
• IR Sources
• IR Imaging, including Cooled & Uncooled
• Frequency Conversion Materials & Applications
• Optical Metamaterials
• IR Sensing

PARTICIPATION

Participation in this symposium is open to active researchers from academia, industry, and government agencies interested in infrared technology who will equally contribute to, and profit from, their participation.

ABSTRACTS

Abstracts (maximum 200 words plus one figure) are being accepted for both oral and poster presentations. Abstracts will be due by April 23rd and notification of acceptance will sent out April 25th in the following mandatory format: Abstract Guide (PDF).
