Call for Papers

The 2024 Winter Topical Meeting will connect precision micro-nano engineering experts from academia, industry and national labs, with each group finding value in attending this topical meeting.

• Industry – Identify emerging technologies, hiring pipeline, identify new customers for micro/nano products, product needs from customers
• Academia – Identify new research directions and funding support, field trends
• National Labs – Access to emerging technology, collaborators, hiring pipeline, introduction to new products, communication of new needs to vendors

This meeting will focus on precision manufacturing of micro and nanoscale optical devices including photonics for quantum devices, meta-photonics, flat optics, diffractive optics, and miniaturized classical opticaI elements such as micro-lenses and micro-mirrors.

Key Dates

Friday, January 26, 2024 – deadline for 1) lightning slide submission (required), 2) extended abstract submission (optional) 3) poster and demonstration space requests (you can request this via the submission link below)

Wednesday, January 19, 2024 – committee will notify those submitters chosen to give a 15 minute presentation

Lightning Slides & Optional Extended Abstract

Attendees may generate and present a single lightning session slide as a “business card” to describe their group’s focus area.

The lightning session presenter will generate a single lightning session slide as a ‘business card’ to describe his/her group’s focus area.  Please focus on the precision micro-nano work and capabilities that your group or company has or is developing, so as to inform the community how they should remember you.   Please also note any opportunities for collaboration or partnerships in upcoming micro-nano work so the community will know what to reach out to you about.

SLIDE TEMPLATE (Required): Use this TEMPLATE for your lightning slide. Please use only one of slides 2, 3 or 4 in this set. Convert the slide to a PDF file. Upload the single completed slide via the link below.

EXTENDED ABSTRACT (Optional): Use this TEMPLATE for your extended abstract. Convert the abstract to a PDF file and submit this along with your slide via the link below. View a sample extended abstract here.
