Greetings:
	If you do modeling of materials or device design in the field of integrated optics, please consider presenting a talk or poster at Photonics West 2003.  To save space, I will only post the part of the Call pertinent to modeling:

The goal of this conference is to provide an interdisciplinary update and review of innovations in IO materials, devices and applications, manufacturing technologies, and theoretical and experimental tools that support these innovations. The conference includes, but is not limited to, the following topics (WG: waveguide, IO: integrated optics, NL: nonlinear):
* Theory and Modeling:
Numerical modeling methods and design tools
Novel IO devices
Propagation phenomena in special WG structures (e.g., photonic band-gap structures)
Optical guided-wave circuit design
Etc.

	If you would like a full version of the "Call for Papers", or if you have any questions, please let me know.

Sincerely,
