Papers are solicited covering the physics and performance of devices and circuits for high speed/frequency, high or low power devices, and optoelectronics.  Technical thrust areas will include: wide bandgap materials and devices; narrow bandgap, low power materials and devices; and heterogeneous integration of dissimilar materials and devices.  Papers that emphasize innovative device concepts and physical phenomena leading to new devices are particularly encouraged.  There will be invited papers in key areas. The proceedings of the conference will be published.

The topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

• “Green” Photonic Technology (Photonic Devices and Systems designed to have reduced energy consumption or to improve energy efficiency; Visible/UV LEDs for Lighting/Displays; Ultraviolet LEDs for water/air/surface purification and bioscience/monitoring/ instrumentation; Photonic Techniques for Energy Generation and Transmission; High Quantum Efficiency Photodetectors/Avalanche Photodiodes)
  
  
• Power Conversion, Switching and Transmission (High Efficiency/Flexible Photovoltaics; Power Electronics/Switching; Normally-OFF Devices; Bio-Inspired Energy Storage)
  
  
• High Speed Devices (Micro & mm-wave Electronics; Optoelectronics; Measurement Techniques/Packaging)
  
  
• Terahertz Technology (Schottky and BWO Devices; Optoelectronics and Photomixers; Quantum Cascade Lasers; Metamaterials for THz Components)
  
  
• Infrared Photonics (MWIR Quantum Cascade Lasers; MWIR and LWIR Type II Superlattice Photodetectors; QW IR Photodetectors “QWIPs”; Quantum Dot Photodetectors)
  
  
• Next-Generation Devices (Graphene/Carbon-based; Nanoelectronics; Nanophotonics/Plasmonics; MEMS; Si Photonics)
