Semiconductor Photonics Workshop on March 12th &13th at KAUST

Semiconductor Photonics Workshop

Semiconductor Photonics Workshop (SPW) will focus on the latest semiconductor photonics research on the beautiful KAUST campus by the Red Sea. It features 20 invited oral talks with the topics covering semiconductor lasers and photonic integrated circuits, solid-state lighting and visible light communications, light-matter interaction, ultrawide bandgap and wide bandgap semiconductors, integrated sensing and communication, topological photonics, ultrafast fiber lasers, etc. 

We aim to promote interaction and exchange of various disciplines among professionals in academia and industry, push the boundaries of the technology and eventually creates a broader future for optoelectronics applications. Welcome the professionals, experts, managements and students from the universities, research institutions, military enterprises, and optoelectronic companies to attend the workshop!
