Welcome to the The 9th International Conference on Group IV Photonics
(GFP)

The IEEE International Conference on Group IV Photonics (GFP) is one of the leading international conferences focused on Silicon Photonics and other group IV element based photonic materials and devices.  The 9th IEEE International Conference on Group IV Photonics will be held at the Holiday Inn on the Bay in the beautiful southwestern coastal city of San Diego, California from 29 - 31 August 2012.  The conference is planned as a single track conference and will include both oral and poster sessions of contributed and invited papers, as well as a plenary session comprising reviews on a number of important and timely topics.  A post-deadline session will feature the most recent and exciting results. Technical results on group IV element photonic materials and devices, including integration and fabrication technologies are welcomed. The success of the GFP conference depends on a large extent on your contributions and active participation. We strongly encourage you to attend the conference and submit your most recent results.
