D03: New frontiers and applications of optical fibers

Monday, August 18  13:40-15:40,  Room #21

Session Chair: Stefano Selleri

Optical fibers have been gaining new fields of applications for years, beside their original telecommunication business core. Nowadays different domains in medicine, industrial applications, sensing and biology are addresses by fiber based devices and they are more and more entering in our research programs and even in our everyday life. The established technologies, the use of new materials and the new potentialities offered by microstructured optical fibers allow the emergence of previously unpredictable new fields of applications and responses to new social problems. This session should attract papers on the design of advanced optical fiber based devices, on the new fabrication materials and techniques, and on the new ideas and concepts regarding their usage in different fields, like telecommunication, sensing and bio-sensing, industrial applications.
