The field of optics has been accelerating at an unprecedented rate,
due both to the tremendous growth of the field of fiber-optic
communications, and to the improvement of optical materials and
devices. Throughput capabilities of fiber systems are accelerating
faster than Moore's law, the famous growth rate of silicon chip
capability, which has propelled that industry relentlessly over
decades. In addition, new optical storage techniques push the
limits of information density, with an ever decreasing cost per bit
of storage. Economic investment in photonics is at an all-time
high. At the same time, other fields of optics, adaptive optics for
instance, are bringing new capabilities to more classical
applications such as astronomical imaging. New lasers continue to
be developed, with applications in display, sensing, and
biomedicine following at ever-shorter intervals after the initial
discoveries. Given this background, the NATO Mediterranean Dialog
Advanced Research Workshop on Unconventional Optical Elements for
Information Storage, Processing and Communications, held in Israel
on October 19-21, 1998, came at an opportune moment in the history
of optics. Its aim was to overview the current state-of-the-art and
encourage cooperation in the Mediterranean region, with a view to
highlighting and enhancing the existing potential for further
development and innovation. The workshop included participants from
Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Morocco,
Portugal, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom and
USA.
