Recent postdeadline announcements included 4 CUDOS papers at 2 international conferences; 1 in Hawaii at the OSA Slow light meeting and 3 in Hong Kong at the OECC Conference.

1 postdeadline paper in Hawaii, at the OSA Slow light meeting

(presented by Christian Grillet) High‐Q Photonic Crystal Chalcogenide Cavities by Photosensitive Post Processing, Michael W. Lee¹, Christian Grillet¹, Snjezana Tomljenovic‐Hanic¹, Dave Moss¹, Benjamin J. Eggleton¹, Xin Gai², Steve Madden², Duck Y. Choi², Douglas Bulla², Barry Luther‐Davies²;
