SEOUL, KOREA (28-30 August 2013) – The latest technology developments in electro-photonic convergence on silicon; novel materials and structures; and photonic devices and nanophotonics will be presented at the IEEE Photonics Society’s 10th International Conference on Group IV Photonics (GFP 2013) being held in Seoul, Korea from 28-30 August 2013. Professionals from around the world will gather for both oral and poster sessions of contributed and invited papers focused on silicon photonics and other Group IV element-based photonic materials, applications, and manufacturing technology. In addition, a post-deadline session will feature the most up-to-date results involving Group IV element photonic materials and devices, including integration and fabrication technologies.
“The IEEE Photonics Society’s Group IV Photonics Conference is one of the leading international gatherings to focus on silicon photonics materials, devices and processes,” said GFP 2013 Program Chair, Jung Hoon Shin from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Korea. “The conference format encourages one-on-one interaction between colleagues, providing a unique opportunity to for researchers, engineers and business leaders from around the world to gain new perspectives on the latest Group IV photonics developments.”
