FOREWORD
OIE'01 (The 4th Japanese-Finnish
Joint Symposium of Optics In Engineering) will be held in
Osaka, Japan, in October 2001. It is an international joint meeting that
follows up the line of a series of symposia "Optics in engineering"
that have been held, so far, in Lappeenranta 1995, in Tsukuba 1997, and in
Kajaani 1999.
Optics is an old and venerable subject that was always rejuvenated by emergence
of new disciplines. For example, the rapid progress and increasing interests in
fields such as nanophotonics and biophotonics are far exceeding the
expectation, which may bring numerous industrial opportunities. The aim of the
series of symposia is to provide a timely forum for presenting the latest
novel and innovative works on new physics, technologies and device applications
in optics related fields, and promote the interaction between Japanese and
Finnish scientists who are working in the fields of pure and applied optics.
TECHNICAL SESSIONS
The technical program will consist of parallel sessions of oral
and poster presentations. The oral presentations include invited talks on the
recent topical and significant progress.
A PC projector and an OHP are prepared as standard facilities for
presentation. Poster boards are 90 cm wide and 210 cm high. The official
language will be English, which will be used for all printed materials,
presentations and discussions.
The workshop covers, but not limited to, topics
as follows:
Imaging and Image Processing
Laser Science and Engineering Fundamentals,
Measurements, Design, and Applications
Semiconductor Lasers and Related Devices
Quantum Optics, Laser Spectroscopy and Their
Applications
Nonlinear Optics
Optical Material and Fabrication Techniques
Micro-Optics, Integrated and Guided-Wave Optics
Optical Switching, Computing and Information
Processing
Optical Data Storage
Laser Chemistry, Materials Processing and
Industrial Applications
Medical and Biological Applications
Nano-Optics, including Near-field Optics
in Biology and Chemistry
Novel Optics, including Photonic Crystals
Industrial Applications
Technical Sessions
PAPER SUBMISSION
Each author is requested to submit a 2-page camera-ready summary.
The 2-page summary must be written on 8 1/2 in. × 11 in. or

All the two-page abstracts of the papers scheduled for
presentation will be published in a technical digest. A copy will be made
available to each participant at the registration desk. Additional copies of
the digest are available while stocks last. Please contact the secretariat
(e-mail: oie01@ap.eng.osaka-u.ac.jp).
Registration
All participants except students are required to pay registration
fee of JPY35,000 (Japanese Yen). The registration fee includes admission to OPIE'01, a copy of Technical Digest, conference party and
