Integrated Photonics Research, Silicon, and Nanophotonics (IPR)

13 July 2014 – 16 July 2014 OSA Virtual Event

IPR is the prime meeting for integration in photonics on all relevant material platforms.

IPR brings together experts from both academia and industry for an open discussion of cutting-edge research, trends and problems. IPR 2014 topics will include photonic integrated circuit design, technology and applications; physics and technology of on-chip active and passive photonic devices; planar waveguide technology, lightwave circuits and systems-on-the chip; theory, modeling and numerical simulation of waveguide and integrated photonic devices and circuits, as well as various topics of computational photonics; integrated diffractive optics and micro-photonics. Also, IPR 2014 will continue to cover emerging topics in nano-photonics, including generation, detection, transport and utilization of optical fields on the “nanoscale” as well as the emerging area of research as it relates to various aspects of slow light, including basic physics, implementation and potential use in integrated photonics.

Application areas within the scope of this meeting are very broad and include, but are not restricted to: optical tele- and data communications; optical interconnects, switching and storage; data and information processing, including integrated quantum circuits; optical monitoring and sensing, including Mid-IR photonics. On the material system side, traditional III-V semiconductor photonic devices and integrated circuits; silicon based devices and waveguide circuitry; silica on silicon and polymer photonic lightwave circuits – are all within the scope of IPR. Contributions relating to new materials and technologies, e.g. sub-wavelength silicon on insulator, metallic nano- structures and the integration of graphene, are also of interest.
