Annual meeting of the Taiwan Photonics Society
National Central University, Zhongli (Chung-Li), Taiwan
5-7 December 2013

OPTIC is the annual meeting on optics/photonics in Taiwan, with an expected attendance of more than 1500 people from academia, government, and industry nationwide. The event includes 10 conferences covering a broad range of topics listed here.

The AOS is pleased to be a cooperating society and discounted registration is available for AOS members.

Save The Date: ANZ Conference on Optics & Photonics, 8-11 December 2013

This year’s major local optics and photonics conference will be held in Fremantle from 8 – 11 December. It will incorporate the Australasian Conference on Optics, Lasers and Spectroscopy (ACOLS), the Australian Conference on Optical Fibre Technology (ACOFT) and will also be the annual meeting of the Australian Optical Society.

Further details will be made available shortly, but all researchers working in the field are warmly encouraged to start making plans to attend the 2013 Australian and New Zealand Conference on Optics and Photonics.

Discount registration for AOS members

AOS members who register to the Optics in Life Sciences Congress, hosted by the OSA, are entitled to a registration discount.

Connect YOUR Research with Industry

You are invited to a workshop to learn how to connect your research with industry. Learn from four industry leaders as they share their insights and experiences with you on issues such as how to identify market opportunities, spinoffs versus technology licensing, the importance of patenting, business plans and venture capital, mentoring, etc. A valuable opportunity not to be missed.

Presenters:
Dr Milton Change – Incubic Managment
Dr Simon Poole – Finisar Australia
Prof. John Harvey – Southern Photonics/ Uni. of Auckland
A/Prof Jim Patrick – Cochlear Pty Ltd

Date: Sunday, 9th of December 2012
Location: John Niland Scientia Building
Time: Registration start at 1:30pm, Workshop from 2 – 5pm

The workshop is included with AIP/ACOFT conference registration but spaces are limited so RSVP now

Integrated Photonics Workshop: Turning your ideas into Photonic Chips

AOS Members are invited to attend the Integrated Photonics Workshop. The details are as follows.

Date: Friday, 7th of December 2012
Morning venue: Slade Lecture Theatre, School of Physics, (Building A28), Physics Road, The University of Sydney
Afternoon venue: Computer Room, Carslaw Building, Eastern Avenue, The University of Sydney
Speakers:
Prof Wim Bogaerts (Ghent University and IMEC)
Dr Pieter Dumon (IMEC)
Prof Arnan Mitchell (RMIT University)
Dr Steve Madden (Australian National University)
Dr Thach Nguyen (RMIT University)
Mr David O’Connor (Bandwidth Foundry International Pty Ltd)

This workshop will provide an introductory overview of the silicon photonic capabilities of IMEC, Belgium, available to researchers through the ePIXfab program and the design tools used to access this capability. A range of photonics chip technologies available in Australia and the means to access these will also be presented. The workshop will conclude with a hands-on session guiding the attendees thorough the design of their own photonic chip. The aim of this workshop is to provide a clear pathway to access the photonic chip technologies available to researchers in Australia, so that more of our big ideas can be transformed into physical photonic chip devices.
