PROGRAM OUTLINE


WORKSHOP SCHEDULE (pdf format)

Work and discussions in the workshop are divided into broad technology topics, e.g. 'optics', 'polarization modulators'. These are coordinated by editors. Leaders of sub-studies (e.g. 'Refractor', 'Faraday Rotators') will prepare white papers in coordination with experts in the broader community. The white paper will summarize the state of the technology and outline developments necessary for the future. The white papers will be distributed before the workshop and will be the basis for discussion during the workshop.
