    The LO’2006 technical program will include plenary sessions, invited oral presentations, selected contributed oral presentations and poster presentations. A number of special topics will be discussed at symposia and workshops. Post deadline sections will be organized. 

 

    The official language of the Conference is English. All reports and presentations (abstracts, illustrations, posters, transparencies, slides) must be prepared in English. 

 

 

    The submission of papers to the Conference is only through its Web-page http://www.laseroptics.ru. The authors are to prepare the abstract of their paper, containing 35-40 words (to be published in the Conference Program) and the summary (1 page in TXT or MSWord format; not published; only for paper evaluation by the Program Committee), and submit them with all information about authors’ affiliations, desired section and mode of presentation by filling the screen form at http://www.laseroptics.ru.
