    Active organic materials are realizing a growing impact on photonic and electronic technology. Already, active organic materials have made a significant impact in liquid crystal displays and printing technology. Worldwide research is now spinning out new technologies gaining wide acceptance in telecommunications, display, and other information industries. Future developments hold promise for green energy production and efficiency with applications, for example, in lighting and solar energy.

    The International conference on Organic Nonlinear Optics series (ICONO) has been an important forum for the exchange of ideas related to this very active area of research. The informal nature of the conference provides an especially fertile milieu for new ideas and collaboration. This 10th conference since 1994 is a milestone of success.

    ICONO10/ICOPE2008 will focus on forefront results pertaining to novel materials, techniques and devices. The scope of the conference will be on organic and polymeric materials for photonic and electronic devices. Emerging areas including magnetics, metamaterials, and photonic crystals will be highlighted.

    The format of the conference encourages interactions among world-renowned scientists and young researchers. The schedule and site will provide ample opportunities for wide-ranging discussions.
