GOMD S3 session: Optical Fibers and Waveguides

The field of optical fibers application is not confined to telecommunication technologies. Optical fibers can be used in numerous other applications such as sensing, new laser source, biomedicine, defense, and security. This session will be an opportunity for discussions about the state-of-the-art and recent advances in the design, fabrication, characterization, and applications of innovative and exotic fibers.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• New optical fibers design
• Optical fibers for communication
• Microstructure optical fibers
• Optical waveguides for sensing
• Heavy metal oxide optical fibers
• Multicore fibers
• Multimaterial fibers
• Optical fibers for health
• Optical fibers for new laser sources
• Optical fibers for supercontinuum generation
