The Technical Program

Topic Categories

Topics include but are not limited to the following:

1. New Sensor Technology
   • Physical, mechanical and electromagnetic sensors (including acoustic sensors)
   • Chemical, environmental, biological and medical sensors and biophotonics
   • Interferometric, polarimetric and laser based sensors (including gyroscopes and resonators)
   • Micro- and nano-structured fibre sensors (including photonic crystal fibre and grating-based sensors)
   • Distributed and multiplexed sensing and sensor networking
   • Other technologies (including imaging-related and those based on smart-phone platforms)
2. Applications and Field Tests
   • Environmental, security, defence and industrial applications; technology commercialization and standardization
   • Smart structures (including structural health monitoring and photonics in additive manufacturing)
3. New Fibre and Photonic Sensing Technologies and Platforms
   • New elements (fibres, devices and subsystems), effects (e.g., plasmonics), technologies (including nanophotonics) and materials (e.g., metamaterials, structured, etc.) for photonic sensing
   • Integrated photonics, cavity opto-mechanics and quantum sensing techniques, precision metrology, frequency combs
