International Conference on Organic Nonlinear Optics VI
Abstract
This proposal was to provide partial funding for an international conference on the topic of organic nonlinear optics with meeting headquarters in Tucson, Arizona. The purpose of the meeting was to bring together top researchers - whose expertise spans material design, material characterization, device fabrication, and integrated device architectures - to the captive setting of a small town to discuss and assess progress in the field. This conference was motivated by six previous conferences that were held in Pullman, Washington in the summer of 1992, in Val Thorens, France in the winter of 1994 (ICONO'1); in Kusatsu, Japan in the summer of 1995 (ICONO'2); on Marco Island in the winter of 1996 (ICONO'3); Chitose, Japan summer of 1998 (ICONO'4) and Davos in Switzerland in spring of 2000 (ICONO's). This proposed meeting would be the seventh in the series of meetings that are held every 18 months. The demand for such a meeting has been evident by full-capacity attendance at all previous ICONO meetings. At the ICONO'1 meeting, U.S. and other non-European attendees had the opportunity to learn about a large array of European research activities that are normally not represented at U.S. conferences. Similarly, at ICONO'2, Pacific Rim research was showcased. ICONO'3, while held in the U.S. , was attended by a majority of foreign scientists. ICONO'4 gave U.S. participants a first-hand view of a new university that was built in photonics valley in Japan. ICONO'6 brought together a group of internationally distinguished researchers to a forum in Tucson that encouraged discussion and interactions.
