The 4th International Conference on the Physics of Optical Materials and Devices, 31st August-4th September 2015, Budva, Montenegro The Organizing Committee would like to invite You to the 4th International Conference on the Physics of Optical Materials and Devices (ICOM 2015) which is to be held in Budva, Montenegro, from 31st August to 4th September 2015, and is organized by the Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences, University of Belgrade (Serbia) and the Institut de Chimie de Clermont-Ferrand, Université Blaise Pascal (France) and IRCP Chimie Paristech. Previous three conferences, ICOM 2006, ICOM 2009 and ICOM 2012 hosted approximately 300 world-acknowledged scientists. ICOM conference has established itself among the renowned professors and researchers in the field of optical materials and devices, as well as managers and experts in a number of industrial and technological fields associated with optical materials. The conference presents the state of the art in preparation methods, optical characterization and usage of optical materials and devices in various photonic fields.
