This symposium is the thirteenth in an annual series of joint
programs sponsored by the Optical Society of America (OSA) and the American
Chemical Society (ACS) Division of
Polymeric Materials:
Science & Engineering (PMSE) and Division of Polymer Chemistry
(POLY). Sessions target the
design, synthesis, optical and electronic properties, and applications of organic
and polymeric materials and composites for applications in photonics and
related areas. The meeting
provides a forum for optical and material scientists, chemists, physicists,
engineers, and device specialists interested in the latest developments and
advances in this diverse field of science and technology.
