IQEC/CLEOPR Pacific Rim Conference Sydney 2011

IQEC/CLEO Pacific Rim 2011 combined four major meetings in the field of lasers and their scientific and technological applications:

• The International Quantum Electronics Conference (IQEC)
• The Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) Pacific Rim
• The Australasian Conference on Optics, Lasers and Spectroscopy (ACOLS)
• The Australian Conference on Optical Fibre Technology (ACOFT)

This meeting brought together international research leaders who span the spectrum of laser development, optical devices, and photonics, with applications to such fields as optical communications, laser spectroscopy, ultrafast optics, nonlinear optics, high field physics and quantum/atom optics.

IQEC rotates between Europe, North America and the Pacific Rim every two years, while CLEO Pacific Rim is held on a similar frequency within the Asia-Pacific Region.  The conjunction of these two major international conferences in  Sydney in 2011, together with the two major local conferences in this field, made this the most significant meeting in lasers and their applications ever to have been held in Australia.
