Dear All,

On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to bring to your attention conference Physics and Simulation of Optoelectronic Devices XXXII, which will take place at SPIE Photonics West during 27 January - 1 February 2024 in San Francisco, California, United States. The abstract submission deadline is July 19th, 2023. Please find more details in the attached flyer, and please follow this link for more information and for abstract submission: https://spie.org/OE101 

This conference targets existing, and new physical and mathematical methods as applied to optoelectronics, as well as recent advances in new materials and devices. Its objective is to bring together experimentalists, theorists, computational specialists, and development engineers to provide an interdisciplinary forum to discuss physical understanding and state-of-the-art computational analysis of active and passive optoelectronic materials and devices. Theoretical and experimental papers are solicited on the following and related topics:

• optoelectronic device modeling: lasers, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, modulators, solar cells
• materials for optoelectronic devices: wide bandgap materials; band structure, band offsets, gain and recombination in II-VI and III-nitride structures, materials for mid-infrared optoelectronic devices, photonics synthetic matter
• plasmonic materials and structures: theory and application in optoelectronic devices
• 2D materials and their application in photonics: electronic band structure, luminescent properties, device strategies
• physics of nanostructures: quantum well, quantum wire, and quantum dot lasers and surface plasmon devices; hybrid nano structures, lattice mismatch and strain effects; Coulomb effects and macroscopic theories; carrier and quantum transport, capture, and dynamics; hole burning, gain suppression and non-equilibrium effects; coherent effects; polarization phenomena
• micro- or nano-cavity effects and photonic crystals: applications for LEDs and lasers; thresholdless laser; novel VCSEL structures; polariton lasers
• quantum communications and computing: semiconductor quantum bits; single-photon devices; entangled states; quantum cryptography; optically-probed spin dynamics; cavity quantum electrodynamics, superconducting optoelectronics
• neuromorphic computing: modeling and concepts for photonic neural networks
• dynamics and noise in diode lasers and systems: gain switching; passive and actively mode-locked diode lasers; self-pulsations; chaos and instabilities in diode lasers and laser arrays; effects of injected light and optical feedback; coherence of lasers and laser arrays
• numerical simulation methods: heterolayer transport simulation; ab-initio and multi-scale simulation of materials for optoelectronics; computational electromagnetics; multi-scale and multi-physics methods
• modeling techniques for fiber and integrated optical devices: eigenvalue techniques, finite difference, finite element and Fourier transform methods, high-order propagation methods, wide-angle and vector wave equations, models of guided-wave reflection
• advances in waveguides and waveguide devices: pulse propagation in active waveguides, waveguide structures for routing, switching and high brightness devices; tapered waveguides; waveguide-fiber coupling; nonlinear and high-power effects in waveguides and fibers; gratings; soliton propagation.

All the best,
