Paper Numbering: Proceedings of SPIE follow an e-First publication model, with papers published first online and then in print. Papers are published as they are submitted and meet publication criteria. A unique citation identifier (CID) number is assigned to each article at the time of the first publication. Utilization of CIDs allows articles to be fully citable as soon as they are published online, and connects the same identifier to all online, print, and electronic versions of the publication. SPIE uses a six-digit CID article numbering system in which:

The CID Number appears on each page of the manuscript. The complete citation is used on the first page, and an abbreviated version on subsequent pages.

Authors

Numbers in the index correspond to the last two digits of the six-digit citation identifier (CID) article numbering system used in Proceedings of SPIE. The first four digits reflect the volume number. Base 36 numbering is employed for the last two digits and indicates the order of articles within the volume. Numbers start with 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 0A, 0B…0Z, followed by 10-1Z, 20-2Z, etc.

Introduction

The SPIE-IEEE-PSP WILGA symposium [wilga.ise.pw.edu.pl] is a multi-conference event, and is a kind of international Forum of Young Science in Photonics, Advanced Electronics and Internet Engineering. It is organized two times a year under the eminent patronage of two big international engineering institutions: SPIE – The International Society for Optical Engineering [www.spie.org1 and IEEE [www.ieee.org]; and their Polish Counterparts: PSP -Photonics Society of Poland [www.photonics.pl], successor of Polish Chapter of SPIE [www.spie.pl], and IEEE Poland Section [www.ieee.pl], with participation of IEEE R8 [ewh.ieee.org/reg/8/sac/cms]. The patrons of the symposium are: PAS -Polish Academy of Science (The Committee on Electronics and Telecommunication) [keit.pan.pl], Association of Polish Electrical Engineers (SEP) [www.sep.com.pl], Polish Committee of Optoelectronics SEP [pkopto.ise.pw.edu.pl], Warsaw University of Technology [www.pw.edu.pl], Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology [www.elka.pw.edu.pl], and Institute of Electronic Systems [www.ise.pw.edu.pl].

WILGA Organizers: The symposium is organized by a group of devoted young people (photonics, mechatronics and electronics researchers) gathered in the PERG/ELHEP Research Group of the Institute of Electronic Systems at the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology of WUT. Most of these young researchers are active members of PSP, SEP, SPIE, OSA and IEEE. The symposium is diligently done by young researchers for young fellow researchers, and the main aims are to have a lot of fun and learn a lot.

WILGA Publications: The WILGA Symposium publishes its papers in the following proceedings series, technical and peer-reviewed journals: Proceedings of SPIE, since 2002; IEEE eXplore, Internet publication data base; Photonics Letters of Poland, since 2009; Elektronika, SEP Journal, since 1998; and IJET -International Journal of Electronics and Telecommunications, PAS [ijet.pl].

WILGA Proceedings of SPIE: There has been a long tradition of WILGA publishing its works in the Proceedings of SPIE. This volume of Proc. SPIE is the 15th published with WILGA papers. All of the WILGA-SPIE volumes contain around 1,500 papers. All WILGA Symposia have published more than 2,500 papers with around 5,000 participants. This is an extraordinary achievement for a modest symposium oriented solely on young researchers. No one event of similar character could compare to this achievement. This success was only possible due to big involvement of young researchers and their work. The following WILGA Proc. SPIE were published: Wilga 2002 – Proc. SPIE 5125; Wilga 2003 – Proc. SPIE 5484; Wilga 2004 – Proc. SPIE 5775; Wilga 2005 bis – Proc. SPIE 5948; Wilga 2005 – Proc SPIE 6159; Wilga 2006 – Proc. SPIE 6347; Wilga 2007 – Proc. SPIE 6937; Wilga 2008 – Proc. SPIE 7124; Wilga 2009 – Proc. SPIE 7502; Wilga 2010 – Proc. SPIE 7745; WILGA 2011 – Proc. SPIE 8008; WILGA 2012 – Proc. SPIE 8454, WILGA 2013 – Proc. SPIE 8903, WILGA 2014 – Proc. SPIE 9290; WILGA 2015 – Proc. SPIE 9662.

SPIE Poland 2005: The SPIE Poland meetings in 2005 were very special because the Polish Chapter of SPIE (predecessor of Photonics Society of Poland) hosted the SPIE Warsaw Congress on Optics and Optoelectronics – SPIE COO Warsaw 2005 with SPIE and other regional SPIE Chapters. The WILGA 2005 Symposium was split to two parts: one held in WILGA, and the second held jointly with the COO’05.

WILGA ways and topics: The official language of the Symposium is English. Peer reviewed papers are published in a renowned, worldwide recognized series Proceedings of SPIE. The Symposium is mainly designed for Ph.D., M.Sc., and B.Sc. students (from physics, electronics and mechatronics, and material research) and their tutors/mentors. WILGA has a number of main topical tracks. Historically, the first one was Photonics and Web Engineering. Generally, WILGA embraces advanced photonic, mechatronic and electronic systems, in the following aspects: theory, modeling, algorithms, simulations, emulations, design, hardware, software, hardware-software interaction and integration, measurements, testing, commissioning and exploitation. WILGA also addresses new research tendencies like 3D photonics and electronics design, micro-and nano-systems, and material engineering, including meta-materials.

Topical sessions are organized by leading experts. Sessions usually begin with current tutorials and are filled with contributed papers by students and young researchers. One of the most important session tracks in WILGA are photonics applications, systems for superconductive accelerator (and free electron laser) technology and high energy physics experiments. We warmly invite students, young researchers and their tutors to participate in WILGA.

WILGA XXXth Jubilee Symposium: The WILGA 2012 January edition was held on 26–29January 2012 at WUT’s FE&IT. The WILGA 2012 May edition was held on 28 May–3 June 2012 at a resort owned by Warsaw University of Technology. More than 300 presentations were delivered during both editions of WILGA, covering a broad area of photonics applications and web engineering. Nearly 350 persons participated. An exceptionally efficient chair of the Organization Committee of WILGA 2012 was traditionally Dr. Maciek Linczuk [M.Linczuk@elka.pw.edu.pl].

WILGA 2015: WILGA 2015 Symposium was held during the last whole week of May 2015, plus two adjacent weekends. The working research sessions of the 36th WILGA in 2015 were traditional to previous years: general photonics, optical fiber technology, optical communications, optoelectronics, applications of optical fibers, integration of electronics, photonics and mechatronics, distributed measurement systems, LHC and CMS at CERN, JET and ITER tokomaks, optics and optoelectronics for astronomy, fundamentals of FPGA-DSP systems, object oriented design of hardware, terabit optical data links, software-hardware codesign, biomedical engineering, computational intelligence of advanced systems, development of photonics and electronics in Europe and Poland, radar technology, terahertz photonics, free electron lasers, E-XFEL and POLFEL lasers, EuCARD2 – Enhanced European Coordination of Accelerator Research and Development, TIARA, EuroFusion Project, etc.

WILGA offspring: The WILGA Symposium gave birth to a few topical meetings and conferences, which then struck out on their own. These include student regional meetings (Opole, Wrocław, Kielce, Białystok, Lublin, Toruń and other), SPIE student chapters, IEEE student branches, but also standalone conferences. Some of these meetings are still held periodically with WILGA, while some of them have gained complete independence. WILGA is very proud of this sort of parentship, since the very good idea of WILGA is proliferating elsewhere. One of such meetings, SPS – Signal Processing Symposium, is now fully independent which started at WILGA in 2003.

SPIE -PSP WILGA 2016: The WILGA 2016 Symposium will be held on 21–29 May 2016. The organizers warmly invite interested young researchers and students in photonics and related fields to participate in this exceptional and very friendly research event oriented toward young researchers from Poland and all over Europe.
