The European Optical Society, in cooperation with the Bremer Institut für angewandte Strahltechnik GmbH (BIAS) and the Institute for Microsensors, -actuators and –systems (IMSAS), is organizing the “1st EOS Topical Meeting on Micro- and Nano-Optoelectronic Systems” in Bremen, from 07 -09 December 2011 featuring the “Digital Holography Colloquium” on Friday, 09 December on the occasion of Werner Jüptner’s 70th birthday.

The focus of the conference will be to explore new developments and applications in the field of optoelectronic systems using approaches based on micro- or nano-optics. Potential topics include (but are not limited to) design, simulation and fabrication of micro- and nano-optical systems, integration of micro- and nano-optical systems in micro-electronics, novel functionality, applications of microsystems using micro- and nano-optics including optical metrology and sensors.

The last day of the conference will be devoted to digital holography with an emphasis on microsystems on the occasion of the 70th birthday of Werner Jüptner, former director of BIAS.
