The workshop consists of invited lectures as well as of oral and poster presentations on different nanocarbon materials in four major modules:

The Liquid Crystal for Photonics conference will start on Monday 21st July at 9am finish on Wednesday 23rd July at noon.

The purpose of the proposed Course is to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of fundamental principles and relevant applications connected with the exposure of solids to energetic laser beams. Such issues are important to develop novel materials with a specific control of their properties at the nanometer scale. The field is relatively young and it grew at a high rate in the last ten years, with a research explosion that has spurred worldwide activity.

On behalf of the International Commission for Optics (ICO) and the Australian Optical Society (AOS) as host society for the meeting, we have pleasure in inviting you to attend the 21st Congress of the ICO, to be held in Sydney in July 2008. The theme of the Congress is “Optics for the 21st Century”. The technical program is wide-ranging and will capture all aspects of modern optics and photonics.

The application of advanced optical methods in Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacology and other Health Care Sciences has been expanding rapidly in the recent years. With an objective to provide a platform to blend scientific knowledge from basic scientists and clinicians, we cordially invite submissions to the tenth Optics Within Life Science (OWLS-10) conference, cosponsored by the International Commission of Optics (ICO).

The first Mediterranean Photonics Conference is a Topical Meeting of the EOS organized by the Italian Optics and Photonics Society, with the endorsement of A.E.I.T. and of the Consortium of Mediterranean Universities.

Topics

• Semiconductors, silicon and post silicon materials
• Polymers, carbon nanotubes, organic and metamaterials for photonics, devices and technology
• Components and devices:
  • Micro and nanophotonics devices, photonic crystals
  • Optical fibers, guided and integrated optics, integrated laser sources

Synopsis / Description:
Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation Theme for 2008:
Synergies Between Ground and Space

There has been enormous interest, in recent years, in optical materials that are artifically structured on the micrometre and nanometre scale. Such materials have fascinating optical properties both from a fundamental point of view and with regard to future applications in photonic devices and materials. Current trends point toward a gauge shrinkage to reach the molecular scale making the molecule the yardstick.

The Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T) invites you to CGIV’2008, the Fourth European Conference on Colour in Graphics, Imaging, and Vision, and MCS’2008, the 10th International Symposium on Multispectral Colour Science, to be held at the Technical University of Catalonia, Terrassa – Barcelona (Spain) June 9-13, 2008.
