Welcome to POEM 2009, Wuhan!

t is our great pleasure to invite you to attend the 2nd Photonics and OptoElectronics Meetings (POEM 2009), which will be held on Aug. 8-10, 2009 in “the homeland of white cloud and yellow crane”—— Wuhan, China, in conjunction with the 8th International Conference on Photonics and Imaging in Biology and Medicine (PIBM 2009). It is one of the most comprehensive events to provide an outstanding opportunity to share the latest information with the international experts in this field.
POEM 2008 made its debut with great success by attracting 700 representatives from more than 20 countries. 734 papers were contributed, including 348 oral presentations and 386 posters. 117 invited presentations were given by prominent experts and executives from home and abroad. Several state-of-the-art new technologies were introduced on the conference and in turn made great splashes in the field and industry.
POEM 2009 will enlarge its topics to fiber optical communication and sensors, industry laser and application, optoelectronic devices and integration, photonics and imagining in biology and medicine and optical storage and new storage technology. It emphasizes features of invited speakers of high level and great influence; latest achievements on the frontier of the field and rich content of oral and invited presentation, plenary discussion, short courses, hot topics, best student awards and student-focused poster session.
Wuhan, one of the major economic and industrial cities in China, is situated at the confluence of the Yangtze River and its greatest branch, with many unique sights scattered around its huge metropolis including East Lake, Yellow Crane Tower, Guiyuan Temple, Hubei Provincial Museum and Three gorges, etc. We are sure you will enjoy your stay in Wuhan.

We are looking forward to your participation for POEM 2009 in Wuhan!
