Photonics and Sensor Workshop in London
Speaker: Prof. B. M. A. Rahman
Abstract
Leading researchers from all over the world will be delivering their talks on photonics and optical sensors. Emerging areas of photonic devices, silicon photonics, active devices, nonlinear photonics and numerical methods needed for their optimisation will be presented. Development and use of FBG, LPG, and silicon slot based sensors will also be presented.
