Environment/Energy
Photonic-based electrical power generation and energy efficient photonics will play a key role in the reduction of the collective energy footprint that is fast becoming an important global priority. Photonics will also find important applications in environmental monitoring and purification. This conference will focus on photonic technologies and their applications addressing energy efficiency and the environment.
Postdeadline paper submissions are being accepted. Submit timely, innovative research by March 30, 2012 at 12:00 PM noon EDT (16:00 GMT).
