Welcome to
European Semiconductor Laser Workshop 2010
Following a long tradition, the European Semiconductor Laser Workshop (ESLW) 2010 will be held in conjunction with the 36th European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication (ECOC), which will be held in Torino from Sunday September 19 to Thursday September 23, 2010.
The ESLW 2010 will be hosted by the University of Pavia on September 24 and 25, 2010.
The workshop will provide an informal forum for discussing most recent results and achievements in the field of semiconductor lasers, related devices and technology.
The workshop is arranged in the form of oral presentations of about 10 minutes plus 5 minutes discussion. We warmly encourage attendees to stimulate vivid discussions based on the content of presented works.
