OMN 2021

International Conference
on Optical MEMS & Nanophotonics

Campinas, Brazil
Unicamp, Convention Center
Aug 1^st – 5^th

The Brazilian Photonics Society (SBFoton) and the IEEE Photonics Society (IPS) announce the organization and realization of the 2021 International Conference on Optical MEMS and Nanophotonics, OMN 2021. The 25^th edition of this successful conference will be held at the University of Campinas (Unicamp)’s Convention Center, in the city of Campinas, State of São Paulo, Brazil, in the period of August 1^st – 5^th, 2021.

OMN 2021 is an annual conference that draws in leading researchers, who are harnessing light, or photons, and control its propagation phenomena via interaction with produced structures at the micro and nano scale. This leads to diverse applications in technology fields such as imaging, communication, sensing, and instrumentation, as well as the sciences such as biology and medicine, chemistry and fundamental physics. The conference is designed for researchers to report on the latest findings on Optical MEMS and Nanophotonics and stimulate scientific exchange among researchers and engineers from industry and academia.

OMN 2021 will follow the typical format of IEEE events, therefore, will include technical oral and poster sessions with the presentation of peer-reviewed papers (oral and poster), Plenary Talks, and Invited Talks.

Registration & Submission

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit an original full paper for review, and presented papers will be further published by IEEE Xplore (indexed by Web of Science and Scopus). Acceptance will be communicated on May 17^th 2021 and final version upload until May 31^st 2021.

Submission Instructions and Template

Double Blind review process will be used, which means that special care has to be taken during preparation of the submitted version. To allow that, submit your paper without authors’ names and affiliations but leave an appropriate blank space for including them in the final version. This procedure will guarantee that the paper format does not change and the number of pages does not exceed the page number limit. Once accepted, the uploaded final version must include authors’ names and affiliations.

Only the accepted papers that are presented at the conference will be published by IEEE Xplore. At least one of the authors of each paper must have a full registration for attending the conference; one full registration allows the publication of up to three papers. If your group has more papers to be published under the full registration, please contact us at conference@sbfoton.org.br.

OMN 2021 uses the EDAS Conference Management System at http://edas.info/. Therefore, please register and upload, from February 10^th 2021 to April 12^th 2021, your paper with 2-pages in English, formatted in accordance with the A4 IEEE template. An abstract with a maximum of 100 words is required during the submission process (can be identical to the abstract in the submitted paper). In case you do not have an EDAS account yet, follow the instruction to create one at the EDAS website.

Using your EDAS’s account, log in and choose “OMN 2021”. The acceptance notification of the papers submitted to OMN 2021” will be sent to the main author on May 17^th 2021. After acceptance, authors will be asked to address the reviewers' comments and submit a final version of the paper.

The final version must address issues concerning comments and recommendations from the reviewers; it MUST also include the copyright notice, at the footer of the first page, as well as the authors’ names and affiliations. The copyright notice code will be further published at the conference website.

The authors of accepted papers to “OMN 2021” shall upload the final version until May 31^st, 2021. The upload of an IEEE pdf eXpress compatible file is mandatory, and it must be done in EDAS. The code necessary for generating the IEEE pdf eXpress file will be further published at the conference website.

What’s Matter Quantum Photonic Chip for Quantum Communication and Computing

Ai-Qun Liu SGP

In the past twenty years, silicon photonic technology and waveguide integrated device are greatly stimulated extensive research in fiber optical transistor from 100 Gbps to 400Gbps. Silicon photonics fabrication and integration are very powerful and significant breakthrough for traditional fibre optical communication and optical/photonic engineering, which is not only advantage of batch processing to address the manufacturing, but also make impact in the next generation of quantum network and quantum computing.

This talk will introduce and present: design and fabrication of quantum key distribution (QKD) chip, which in different components related to splitter, tunable MZI, switches and photodetector will be discussed. The fabrication processes will be explained for QKD chip. This talk will be concluded with the future trends and research directions in quantum integrated chip and silicon photonic integration technologies.

Next generation silicon photonics

Michal Lipson USA

We are now experiencing a revolution in optical technologies: in the past the state of the art in the field of photonics transitioned from individual miniaturized optical devices to massive optical circuits on a microelectronic chip that can be modified on demand. This revolution is ongoing –new materials and technologies are emerging to control the flow of light in unprecedented ways and it is opening the door to applications that only a decade ago were unimaginable.

How does an idea of immersive display evolve into multiple innovations in personalized medicine?

Sunghoon Kwon KOR

I was interested in future immersive display systems when I was a doctoral student, and that's why I was into optical MEMS. Due to the massive amount of data that needs to be processed in the display system, I thought it should be a self-assembled form of identical active display components that should organize itself as a display panel later. I proposed 'smart scalable systems' as a research theme that could enable such a massive system in display, energy, and biochips based on self-assembly of many heterogeneous components. Though the immersive display by self-assembly is still just an idea, this concept of smart scalable systems evolved into multiple biotech innovations for the past 15 years in my research group. I will present the concept of smart scalable systems first. Then I will talk about our researches in structural colored microparticles, DNA laser printer, life-saving antibiotic test, laser-based single-cell genomics, a few of which already become commercial products. It is even more interesting I am applying again the technique I learned from these researches back to displays that use self-assembly. Life is a journey full of expectations and surprises.
