The International Conference on ‘Optical Fiber Sensors’ is acknowledged as the world’s leading conference on all topics related to fiber-optic, guided-wave and optical sensing devices, systems, theories and techniques for research and applications. The first OFS was held in London, in 1983. Since then it has become established as the leading forum. The conference is held approximately every eighteen months, rotating between the Americas, Europe and Asia/Pacific. OFS-22 will be held in Beijing from 15-19 October 2012. It will be the first time that China hosts the OFS conference. OFS-22 will offer invited and contributed paper presentations both in oral sessions and poster sessions, special workshops, and an exhibition of commercial products, as well as social and cultural events.
