International Congress Centre Munich (ICM), Germany, 23 May 2011 - 25 May 2011

Optical devices which incorporate liquids as a fundamental part of the structure can be traced as far back as the 18th century where rotating pools of mercury were put forth as a simple technique to create smooth spherical mirrors for use in reflecting telescopes.  The evolution of modern microfluidics has enabled the development of a present day equivalent of such devices centered on the marriage of fluidics and optics which has come to be known as Optofluidics. EOSOF 2011 is held under the umbrella of the WORLD OF PHOTONICS CONGRESS 2011 (22 - 26 May 2011).
