 SCOPE OF THE MEETING
Diffractive Optics 2001 is a continuation of a series of meetings on
diffractive optics, which started with two workshops in Prague (1992 and
1995) and continued with EOS Topical Meetings in Savonlinna (1997) and Jena
(1999). The goal of this series is to bring together scientists and
industrial engineers interested in the use of microstructures and wave
optics in optical design. 

All aspects related to this broad and rapidly growing field are covered in
the conference: 
· basic theory of wave-optical engineering and diffractive optics
· functional and structural optical design based on wave optics
· fabrication of surface-relief and index-modulated structures
· scientific, industrial, and commercial applications

VENUE
The meeting will take place at the Central Building of the Hungarian
Association of Technical Societies (MTESZ), which is located downtown, next
to the Parliament. It is best reached by Metro (Kossuth tér station). See
the web pages of the conference for detailed information and a map.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
The program consists of oral and poster presentations. Because of the
emphasis on a single-session format, the number of oral presentations is
limited and preference is given to contributions that benefit significantly
from oral format (if you feel that only oral presentation is possible,
please specify why when submitting your contribution). Note also that the
poster presentations permit table-top exhibits or demonstrations, which
would be highly appreciated by the program committee (please indicate
whether you need a table to accompany your poster board when submitting your
contribution). 

The scientific program of the conference occupies all of Tuesday (October
9), the morning of Wednesday, and all of Thursday. Therefore it is
recommended that you arrive at Budapest on Monday, October 8. You can
register on site already on Monday evening.
