Introduction

摘要

We accepted forty-four papers, including sixteen posters, and organized them into six sessions. We had two sessions on Lens Design Methodology, and one each on Materials and Coatings, Analysis and Applications, Optical Fabrication and Tunable Optics, and Solid State Smart Lighting. Taiwan contributed the most papers (12), followed by USA (9), the Russian Federation (6), Mexico (6), Germany (4), Canada (2), Turkey (2), and one each from China, Korea, and Ukraine. Two of the USA papers have coauthors from Spain. Similarly, two of the Russian papers have coauthors from Singapore, and one from Taiwan has a coauthor from South Africa. All of the papers from Mexico were Posters. The Proceedings consists of 35 papers. The missing nine papers include four posters, three of which are from Mexico. One invited paper was preplanned to be completed later for publication in Optical Engineering, one presenter had visa problem, another had publication conflicts, and the others were no-shows. Lack of travel funding contributed to some of the no-shows.
