POFWORLD WEST 2009 Abstract Deadline Extended


logoOne of the main focal points of POFWORLD WEST 2009 will be "POF in Short-Distance Applications.” There is a growing need for high-speed, low-cost interconnects in a wide range of applications, including supercomputers, data centers, storage area networks, home networks, terminal devices, in-box, box-to-box, rack-to-rack, and on circuit boards, to name only a few. These applications are from a few centimeters to 100 meters. Short-distance POF applications have already found their way into automobiles, with over 70 models of automobiles and over 55 million optical nodes on the road in Europe and Asia. This has resulted in economies of scale, allowing POF to reach its low-cost potential. This same technology will soon find its way into short-distance interconnects in industrial, consumer, medical, computer, and aerospace fields. Both presentations and results that have not been presented previously at POF Conferences and describe new technical contributions as well as applied presentations which describe new applications and advances in older applications are being sought in the following two categories, and should be submitted online here.

The current submission schedule:
Abstract deadline April 30, 2009
Notification of Acceptance May 15, 2009
Submission of Full Manuscript June 15, 2009
