About the Conference


The Photonics Global Conference (PGC) is a biennial event held since 2008. The aim of this conference is to foster interactions among broad disciplines in the photonics family. The conference will provide a platform for international academics, researchers, practitioners and students working in the photonics areas to discuss new developments, concepts and practices, and to identify synergies in research directions that will lead to broader and deeper applications of photonics. Previous conference attracted about 300 delegates from 32 countries. We were highly honored to have 4 renowned plenary speakers Prof. John Pendry from Imperial College; Prof. Arthur Chiou from National Yang-Ming University; Prof. Alan Willner from University of Southern California, and Prof. Horst Weber from Technical University Berlin to share with us their insight and perspectives on current trends, convergence technologies and the strategic updates in our previous conference. We are pleased to announce that the Photonics Global Conference will be held in Singapore from 14 to 16 December, 2010. All major areas in photonics technologies will be covered in talks, along with invited/special sessions. This is an opportunity for researchers around the world to exchange ideas and latest research results in areas such as metamaterial, nanophotonics, biophotonics, plasmonics, optical communication devices/systems and related fields. We look forward to your participation so as to make this conference an exciting and fruitful event. Papers presenting original work in, but not limited to, the following technical symposia are invited for submission. All submitted abstracts will be peer-reviewed. The conference proceedings will be distributed to the registered participants in a CD and will also be available through IEEE Xplore. All presented papers with final manuscripts accepted will be Ei indexed.
