The 5th International Conference on Advanced Optoelectronics and Lasers (CAOL’2010) will be held in Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine, September 10 - 14, 2010. CAOL’2010 will provide a forum for experts in a wide area of laser physics and optoelectronics. The previous conferences were successfully provided in 2003, 2005 and 2008 in Crimea, and in 2006 in Guanajuato, Mexico. Information on the previous international meetings on optoelectronics and lasers can be found in the magazines IEEE/LEOS Newsletters: 4-1999, 4-2000, 4-2001, 3-2004 2-2006, 2-2009 and IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine: 4&5-1998, and 3-2001.

The conference will cover wide frontiers in laser physics, nanotechnology, new materials, nonlinear optics and optical communications. Its characteristic feature is a stronger emphasis on the mathematical, physical and technological aspects of the researches, together with a detail analysis of the application problems. The technical program traditionally consists of invited lectures and regular contributed papers.

Conference will be held in collaboration with regional chapters of IEEE Photonics Society, OSA, SPIE.
