Bragg Gratings, Photosensitivity and Poling in Optical Materials and Waveguides (BGPP)

BGPP addresses all aspects of electromagnetic, or light, interactions for traditional, novel glassy or crystalline material and device processing including additive manufacturing, laser written devices, waveguide processing, and poling in optical materials, from physical fundamentals, properties and fabrication approaches to metrology, characterization and sensing applications across industries.

BGPP continues to be a popular topical for covering state-of-the-art advances in light-matter interactions in optical materials such as fiber, waveguide and gratings in a relaxed and non-pressured atmosphere. As new directions of research come online, the application of light matter interactions expands, with recent directions including light based additive manufacturing methods for fiber and waveguides, optical metrology for device qualification and novel sensing concepts. The program is tailored for informal exchanges, forming new partnerships and reconnecting with colleagues. Attendees come from around the world to participate in this exchange of knowledge. The subtopics are divided into three main themes: 1) fundamentals of light-matter interactions, glassy and crystalline material processing and poling, 2) properties of light-written structures and techniques used in their fabrication and 3) applications of light-written structured and poled devices.
