摘要

Symposium on "Optical Fibers and Their Application" OFTA is a forum of national science in this branch of Photonics. The Symposium also hosts numerable guests from this geographical region, and especially from neighboring countries and Europe. It is organized every year and a half by two major optical fiber technology and application development centers located in Biatystok at Biatystok University of Technology, and in Lublin at Maria Curie-Sktodowska University UMCS and the Technical University of Lublin. The conference belongs to a bigger circle of national meetings on optoelectronics, optics, photonics, sensors and laser technology which are under a general patronage of professoressional community organizations like the Polish Physical Society-Section of Optics, the Polish Ceramic Society, the Photonics Society of Poland, Polish Optoelectronics Committee of the Association of Polish Electrical Engineers, Section of Photonics in the Committee of Electronics and Telecommunications, Polish Academy of Sciences, and Polish Association of Theoretical and Applied Electrical Engineering.
