The Photonics and Nanotechnology Conference is intended to provide an international forum for the presentation and the discussion of significant progress of research, development and applications of photonics and nanotechnology. The conference will also offer tutorials and other relevant events, and will particularly give opportunities to have interaction among participants from the ongoing Asian, Pacific and Oceania areas. The conference represents the primary international forum for exchange of ideas and experiences to industry, and government agencies will be actively solicited. Because of the continued growth of this field, special emphasis will be placed on approaches to encourage the next-generation technicians, engineers and scientists.
