Optical Sensors (Sensors)
June 12-16 2011, The Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto, Canada
Conference Program
Optical Sensors are used in numerous research, and commercial applications today. These sensors are used for quality and process control, medico technologies, metrology, imaging, and remote sensing to mention a few examples. Today there are many types of optical sensors; many based on the use of lasers, imaging systems, and/or fibers. In addition, novel sensor methods that enable more advanced sensing are continuously being developed for example by using novel materials, such as meta materials, micro and nano structured materials or by employing new frequency bands as for example THz radiation. In this meeting, papers reporting the development of devices to implement the various sensor types and their configuration into sensing elements will be presented. Some of the enabling technologies to be discussed include advances in short pulsed high power lasers, imaging methods, micro and nano-structured optical sensing systems, and THz sensing. This topical meeting will address various sensor types, and include all aspects of optical sensors from the components employed, their configuration through detection schemes and algorithms, and application of sensors.
