A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) was invented in 1977. A lot of unique features have been proven and various applications of VCSELs such as datacom, optical interconnects, and so on are being explored. For celebrating the 30th anniversary of VCSEL, International Symposium on VCSELs and Integrated Photonics is organized and sponsored by Global COE "Photonics-Integrated Core Electronics" and P&I Laboratory, Tokyo Institute of Technology. We have invited eminent speakers on VCSELs and photonics from overseas and Japan. The past, present and future prospects on VCSELs and their applications will be discussed. Also, the symposium will highlight emerging technologies for integrated photonics.
