ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
The abstract submission is open from 01 July to 09 September 2011. Authors are requested to submit an extended abstract of a maximum of two pages and preferably with at least one figure. Detailed information on the EOS guidelines for abstract submission can be found at www.myeos.org/events/abstractsubmission. Contributions will be accepted for oral and poster presentation. Please indicate preference. All accepted contributions are to be published on the EOS Topical Meeting Digest CD-ROM which will be distributed on-site. All authors are requested to register for the meeting separately from abstract submission. Abstracts can only be submitted online via www.myeos.org/events/bremen2011. Submission Alert: If you would like to be alerted when the submission is opened, please send an e-mail with your contact details to bremen@myeos.org.

PAPER PUBLICATION IN JEOS:RP
All regular attendees of this EOS event receive a 20% discount on the publication rate for the Journal of the European Optical Society - Rapid Publications (JEOS:RP). The paper submitted must be an original contribution that is connected to this Topical Meeting and must be submitted no later than 31 January 2012 (www.jeos.org).

Publication rates:
320 € (instead of 400 €) for non-members
280 € (instead of 350 €) for full EOS members

SPECIAL ISSUE ON MICRO- AND NANOOPTOELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
JEOS:RP will dedicate a special issue to micro- and nanooptoelectronic systems. This special issue will be refereed and is planned to appear timely after the conference.
