Abstract

Microwave Photonics (MWP) is a cross–disciplinary field encompassing the study of interactions between optical signals and high–frequency electrical signals with increasing innovative applications and commercial importance in both photonics and microwave areas. This is the first jointly held conference incorporating both the IEEE International Microwave Photonics conference and the Asia–Pacific Microwave Photonics conference (MWP / APMP 2008). This jointly–held conference provides an important platform for the worldwide dissemination and exploration of new advancements in the microwave photonics fields. The conference will be held in the picturesque Gold Coast City, in the state of Queensland, Australia from the 1st–3rd of October, 2008. Renown for its sun, surf and sand, the city stretches 57 kilometers of coastline with two famous central business districts (downtowns), Surfers Paradise and Coolangatta. It is rich in color and diversity and is synonymous with glorious weather, wide golden beaches, sun and a healthy lifestyle!
