Optical MEMS & Nanophotonics Conference

6 - 9 August 2012

Program

Optical MEMS & Nanophotonics technologies are advancing rapidly with vigorous research and development in academic, government and industrial laboratories around the world. Already contributing in many commercial technology sectors, Optical MEMS & Nanophotonics devices promise to deliver unprecedented capabilities for imaging, display, optical communications, sensing and fundamental science advances in the future.

We invite you to participate in our conference by sharing your original research related to optical micro electro-mechanical systems and fabrication technologies, Nanophotonic devices, materials and techniques, and novel applications for these emerging technologies. Contributed talks and posters combined with plenary and invited talks from world leaders will create an inspiring and thought provoking experience.

Columbia Icefield Discovery & Glacier Adventure

Columbia Icefield from Banff with Ice Explorer (round trip) - 9 hours

Visit Lake Louise, the icon of the Canadian Rockies, before your spectacular journey along the Icefields Parkway. At Lake Louise stroll along its emerald green shores with a picture perfect view of the Victoria Glacier. With photographic stops at Crowfoot Glacier and Peyto Lake, you head towards the impressive view at the Big Hill. On this guided tour learn about the unique ecosystem and the creation of the glaciers you experience on your way to the Columbia Icefield. After your ride on our all-terrain Ice Explorer, there is time to visit the Glacier Gallery, restaurant or giftshop at the Icefields Centre. Return to Banff in the late afternoon.

The price of this adventure is $154.95/per adult and $84.95/per child. Transportation to and from most hotels.
