Paper Summary Requirements
35-word Abstract: Your abstract should be a brief summary of your paper topic. If your paper is accepted, your 35-word abstract will be included in the conference program. Note that the same abstract should be included in the 2-page summary as highlighted in the style guide.
2-page Summary: All contributed authors are required to submit a final summary of their work for publication in the Technical Digest, via the Optica Publishing Group platform. Style guides are provided in a variety of different formats to support authors’ needs. Be sure to abide by the conference 2-page limit, and convert your paper to PDF to upload. All PDF submissions MUST contain the following items in order to be published:
- Complete title
- Complete listing of all authors and their affiliations
- Self-contained abstract, limited to 35-words (indexers such as Google Scholar will not index papers that do not contain abstracts)
- Appropriate copyright statement following the abstract. By default, the copyright statement will appear as 2021 The Author(s). If needed, the default statement can be suppressed by use of the {abstract*} environment.
- Permission and attribution for any trademarked or copyright images. Note that images of people or images owned or trademarked by other entities (including, for example, well-known logos or cartoon characters) will also require official written permission.
IMPORTANT! Please embed all fonts; use standard fonts when possible. Problems may occur if non-English font packages (for example, Japanese, Korean or Chinese fonts, etc.) are used in the body of your paper summary, as well as in all figures and tables. Characters in these fonts cannot be seen by reviewers. In the past, we have had particular trouble with MS-PGothic, MS -Gothic and MS-Mincho.
***Proof your work before submitting. We DO NOT ACCEPT CHANGES OR REVISIONS AFTER THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE .***
Category Selection: Please review the topics categories, and select the area that is appropriate for your work.
Copyright Agreement: The submission form incorporates an electronic copyright transfer agreement as part of your submission. No additional mailed documentation is required.
Presentation Preference: Authors submitting a contributed paper to the FiO LS meeting can request an oral or e-poster presentation. For more details on the presentation preference, view the modes of presentation tab.
Adherence to the instructions for preparation of the abstract and summary is imperative. Failure to complete any of the preceding requirements may result in the rejection of a paper. NO CHANGES OR REVISIONS WILL BE ALLOWED AFTER THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE. Emailed or faxed submissions will not be accommodated.
A complete submission must be submitted via the online submission system in adherence with the style guide and by the published deadline. Do NOT email, fax or mail your paper!
Registration and submission for technical sessions is open to all members of the scientific and technical community. It is incumbent on the authors to obtain appropriate approval to present their work to this international forum.

Please make sure that your paper does not contain non-English font packages (for example, Japanese, Korean or Chinese fonts, etc.) in the body of your paper summary, as well as in all figures and tables.

Peer Review
This meeting contains high-quality submissions that undergo a peer-review conducted by the members of the Technical Program Committee. The results of the peer review translate into paper selections and topic-driven technical sessions for this conference. Results from that meeting will be sent by Optica Technical Program staff via email to all authors. If a paper is accepted, the summary, including illustrations, will be reproduced directly from the material submitted by the author(s) and will be published on the Optica Publishing Group platform.
