I'm trying to find out more info on this conference. It was chaired
by the President and CEO of LUMM. Just trying to research the
background of the founders.
This is from the University of Montreal (has his picture)

Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Materials for Photonics II (sd77)
On-site Proceedings.
Abstracts for this conference are due by 7 December 1998.
Manuscripts are due by 26 April 1999.
Conference Chairs: Liliane G. Hubert-Pfalzgraf, Univ. de Lyon 1 (France); S. Iraj Najafi, Lumenon Inc. (Canada)
Rationale design and synthesis of hybrid organic-inorganic materials and thus wet chemical routes can permit tailoring of properties over a
large range of scales and shapes and provide the multifunctionality required for optical devices. This conference solicits papers which address topics related to such optical materials and their applications in photonics, such as:
material for passive devices
laser material
Er-doped materials and optical amplifiers
quantum dot devices
NLO and photorefractive systems
photonic devices using organic-inorganic glasses
WDMs
electro-optic devices
switches/modulators
sensors
nanocomposites.
Preliminary list of invited speakers:
Nasser Peyghambarian, Univ. of Arizona, "Sol-gel light emitting diodes"
Mark Andrews, Lumenon Inc. (Canada), "Commercialized sol-gel devices"
P. Etienne, Montpellier Univ. (France), "Er-doped sol-gel materials"
Potential for Commercialization of Integrated Optics Devices*
*On-Site Proceedings
Conference Chairs: S. Iraj Najafi, Ecole Poly- technique de Montréal (Canada); Mario N. Armenise, Politecnico di Bari (Italy)
Program Committee: Marc P. De Micheli, Univ. of Nice-CNRS (France); Seppo Honkanen, Nasser Peyghambarian, Optical Sciences Ctr./Univ. of Arizona;
Manijeh Razeghi, Northwestern Univ.; Giancarlo C. Righini, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (Italy); Ari Tervonen, Nokia Research Ctr. (Finland)
More and more advanced and high performance photonic devices are being demonstrated for telecommunication, signal processing and sensor applications. Some
devices have already been commercialized. This conference will provide a forum for an update and review of commercialized devices, and theoretical and
experimental tools to produce such devices. In particular, papers are solicited on new devices that are expected to be commercialized before the end of the 20th
century.
The conference will include the following sessions:
glass waveguide devices
LiNbO3 devices
Er-doped devices
acousto-optic devices
polymer devices
sensors
semiconductor devices
fiber devices
micro-optics devices
sol-gel devices
production tools
design tools. |
