The 10th International Conference on Group IV Photonics (GFP 2013) will feature presentations spanning a broad range of topics focused on silicon photonics and other Group IV element-based photonic materials and devices. Professionals from industry, academia, and government around the world will gather from August 28-30, 2013 for the GFP 2013 conference, held for the first time in Seoul, Korea at the Grand Hilton Seoul. 

Planned as a single-track conference, GFP 2013 will feature both oral and poster sessions of contributed and invited papers focused on silicon photonics and other Group IV element-based photonic materials, applications, and manufacturing technology. In addition, a post-deadline session will feature the most up-to-date results involving Group IV element photonic materials and devices, including integration and fabrication technologies.

Some of the major topic areas will include:

• Electro-Photonic Convergence on Silicon: mainstreaming industrial Si photonics; optical interconnect technology, including light sources, modulators, and detectors; technology platforms, design tools/rules, and industrial fabrication concerns.
• Novel Materials and Structure: novel materials and material combinations, and/or structures generating scientific interest; graphene, complex oxides, photonic crystals, gratings, as well as plasmonics and its hybrids.
• Photonic Devices and Nanophotonics: devices and systems that are at the stage of focusing on real applications but do not necessarily need/require integration with electronics; couplers, (bio) sensors, Si photonics for telecom applications.

A supplier exhibition and a range of sponsorship opportunities are available for participating companies to promote awareness, discuss the latest new products, interact with customers and develop new sales contacts.  Individualized sponsorship opportunities are available.
