Agenda of Sessions Now Available for the co-located meetings NLO and ISOM/ODS


Reflecting the international nature of the interest and work in optical memory and optical data storage, these two conferences are held jointly every third year. The unparalleled setting of this conference provides an outstanding opportunity to share the latest information in this dynamic field with your international colleagues.

The ISOM/ODS'11 offers an excellent forum for exchanging information on the status, advances, and future directions in the field of optical memory and optical data storage. Third generation high density recording systems using blue-violet lasers are growing in the commercial market. New developments in holographic, multi-dimensional, near-field, super-resolution, and hybrid recording technologies for the fourth generation systems will be the main focus at this conference.

New concepts based on nano-scale optical materials and phenomena will also be explored. Developments and methodologies in the areas of nano-photonics, plasmonics, spintronics, and bio-photonics are expected to influence future generation optical memory and optical data storage and will be in the spotlight of this conference.

Contributions from a variety of areas spanning from basic theory and modeling, testing and characterization to manufacturing and production methods including media and materials, components, coding and signal processing, drive technologies, and systems and applications for industrial and consumer use will be presented.

Special sessions on new concepts such as nano-photonics and future emerging technologies are also planned. Contributions on alternative technologies and theoretical studies from universities are strongly encouraged. Invited talks in many of these areas will round out the four-day program.

The conference chairs invite you to share your latest work with colleagues and network with leaders in the field including distinguished invited speakers and the program committee.
