PAPERS

Papers will cover original and not previously published results in passive optical components field, including but not restricted to the following topics:

• Splicing and connectors
• Couplers, splitters, attenuators, filters, isolators and circulators
• Dispersion compensators
• WDM and DWDM components (including AWG)
• Fibre optic gratings
• Fabrication technologies (all-fibre, micro-optics, integrated optics)
• Characterisation and measurements
• Packaging and reliability
• Standardisation issue

Original, previously unpublished contributions are solicited on the topics listed above. Papers should be informative, with the objective clearly indicated and should concentrate on results. Presentation and discussion of papers will be in English.

Papers shall be 4 page s, including figures, tables, etc., on A4 format (21x29 cm) sheet ready for reproduction (down - sized to 70%). Prefer Times font, size 14, no spacing, no i ndent, single column, and leave 2 cm all around the text.

Title will be in boldface Times font 18, followed by author/s name and affiliation, and a summary of 30-50 words. Leave one space between paragraphs. Figure shall be incorporated in the text and each of them shall have a caption placed below it.No page numbering shall be added.

For any question please ask Secretariat.
