A four-day Online Symposium

FOP21 is the forty-fourth in the series of annual symposia of the Optical Society of India. This symposium is being organized by the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, which has significantly contributed to the growth of the field of optics and photonics in several ways since its inception in 1961. This symposium has returned to IIT Delhi after a gap of over 10 years, especially to mark the establishment of Optics and Photonics Center at the Institute. The symposium will provide a forum for interaction and exchange of ideas among scientists, engineers, researchers, students, who are actively engaged in the area of Optics & Photonics. The conference will be held online. There will also be opportunities for manufacturers, suppliers and service providers to showcase their products and services.

SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE

The conference will offer a large number of invited talks both from India and abroad, contributed papers and poster presentations. Researchers are welcome to submit contributory papers covering their original research on the topics listed below. However, papers on any area related to Optics & Photonics may also be submitted. The conference will broadly cover the following topics:

· Nano-photonics & Plasmonics (NPH)

· Photonic Crystals & Metamaterials (PHC)

· Guided Wave and Nonlinear Optics (GNO)

· Quantum Optical Technologies (QOT)

· Integrated Optic Circuits and Devices (IOC)

· Fiber Optic Devices, Sensors and Instrumentation (FIB)

· Optoelectronic Devices (OED)

· Photonic Networks, Switching, Interconnects & Access (NET)

· Optical System Design (DES)

· Imaging and Super-resolution (ISR)

· Optical Data Storage & Display Devices (STR)

· Optical Interferometry and Holography (HOL)

· Singular Optics & Laser Speckles (SIN)

· Diffractive, Free-form and Adaptive Optics (DFA)

· Optical Materials (MAT)

· Optical Instrumentation, Fabrication and Metrology (IFM)

· Biophotonics (BPH)

· Optical Sources and Illumination Engineering (SIE)

· Microwave and THz Photonics (MWT)

· Lasers Applications, Beam Optics & Ultrafast Optics (LAS)

· Theory, Modelling & Simulation (THM)

· Any other topics related to Optics and Photonics (OTH)

Industries and Service providers can have the benefit of the Symposium to reach out to the optics and photonics community in India and abroad. Sponsorship (fee Rs. 1,00,000) and Co-sponsorship (Rs. 60,000) can be availed of. The logo and poster of the sponsors will be included on the website and will also be displayed all together on one screen during the change-over of online sessions. The Sponsor and Co-sponsors will be given 15 min and 10 min slots, respectively, in the Techno-Commercial Session. Participation in the Techno-Commercial Session only can also be done by a fee of Rs. 30,000 (15 mins slot) or Rs. 20,000 (10 min slot). Any other proposal for involvement is also welcome; please contact the Chairs.
