EFO Membership Form>>

 

The Electronics for Optics (EFO) community of interest group looks at issues regarding electrical components for next generation high performance optical subsystems, specifically involving complex modulation formats and higher speed transmission.

OIDA held a kick-off meeting on February 27 in San Diego, CA. The purpose of this meeting was to put together a plan for the formation and future of this group. Discussions addressed goals and expectations and activities including the possibility of a future conference.

About OIDA Community of Interest (CoI) Groups

CoIs are special interest groups of OIDA members and non-members formed to address specific topics or problems for the industry. As with other OIDA activities, companies join, not individuals. A company may attend one meeting of a CoI free of charge, and may be on the email reflector for a group. However, for access to the restricted portion of the web site and to attend subsequent meetings, a company must either be an OIDA member or join the group as a CoI affiliate member.

A CoI is run and managed by its members. Each COI will have its own charter. Administrative and logistic activities will be provided by OIDA for reasonable activities. A CoI may levy an additional fee for membership with OIDA approval to generate more funds for its activities. For larger groups, OIDA may provide staffing as needed to facilitate the group's activities and to ensure OIDA neutrality.

For logistic and administrative support for a CoI, please contact David Iams (iams@oida.org). For other questions, or to start a new CoI, please contact David Huff (huff@oida.org).
