Message from the Technical Program Committee Chair and Vice-Chairs

In consultation with the technical program committee of AVFOP 2007, we have scheduled a technical program for MWP 2007 that will provide flexibility to the attendees and the guest attendees of both conferences. MWP 2007 will begin with a workshop on photonic integration as enabler of economically-scalable applications of microwave photonics, and proceed with two days of oral and poster sessions. Of the 96 papers, including 11 invited talks, submitted to this year??s conference through the website, the committee accepted a total of 65 papers for either oral or poster presentation. The oral presentations have been grouped into sessions that will focus on topics of interest to the microwave photonics community, namely, advances in devices for analog links, radio-over-fiber technology and systems, microwave photonics signal processing, oscillators, optoelectronic integration, microwave photonic techniques for antennas and imaging, and techniques for coherent link and broadband transmission. The poster presentations are also grouped along these topics.
