Advanced Photonic and Electronic Systems WILGA 2010

SPIE – PSP WILGA Symposium gathers two times a year in January and in May new adepts of advanced photonic and electronic systems. The event is oriented on components and applications. WILGA Symposium on Photonics and Web Engineering is well known on the web for its devotion to “young research” promotion under the eminent sponsorship of international engineering associations like SPIE and IEEE and their Poland Sections or Counterparts. WILGA is supported by the most important national professional organizations like KEiT PAN and PSP-Photonics Society of Poland. The Symposium is organized since 1998 twice a year. It has gathered over 4000 young researchers and published over 2000 papers mainly internationally, including more than 900 in 10 published so far volumes of Proc. SPIE. This paper is a digest of WILGA Symposium Series and WILGA 2010 summary. Introductory part treats WILGA Photonics Applications characteristics over the period 1998-2010. Following part presents a short report on the XXVth and XXVIth Symposia held consecutively in January and May 2010. The events took place on 29-30 January at the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technologies of Warsaw University of Technology and on 24-30 May in Wilga Village near Warsaw. Both meetings gathered around 200 young researchers with 150 papers presented on current subjects of advanced photonics and electronics issues. Apart of young researchers the Wilga Symposium is always richly attended by students’ mentors and tutors. EuCARD Session is organized during this Symposium.
