Book excerpt: The purpose of this symposium was to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of recent advances in research on electronic and photonic devices made with organic and polymeric materials. The field of organic optical materials is rapidly growing, and new advances are being made both in attaining a deeper understanding of device phenomena and in designing improved materials for thin films, fibers, and waveguides. The symposium provided a highly interactive forum for an update in the connected areas of photonics with organic materials. The Meeting was highlighted by several major advances in various fields ranging from nonlinear absorbers and electro-optic polymers, to photorefractive polymers, organic transistors, and electroluminescent materials and devices for displays. The symposium highlighted developments in materials chemistry and physics relevant to such devices and struck a balance between basic science and technology.
