  • Novel Optical Materials (such as ceramics)
  • Packaging, Ruggedization, and other systems issues

Submissions

The SSDLTR will accept presentations at the Public Release and Limited Distribution (C) levels. All authors will be required to obtain appropriate approval to present in the relevant format. Please allow plenty of time for the approval process. Authors may choose to include their presentation in the public release or limited distribution proceedings.

The program committee will inform authors by 19 February 2010 if their contributions are selected for inclusion in the technical program. Instructions for submitting presentations and papers will be available by 12 March 2010.

Papers
Technical papers must be unclassified and submitted electronically to ssdltr@hotmail.com no later than May 6, 2010. No late submissions will be accepted.

Papers must be submitted as a Microsoft Word document and contained in a single file. The file must be named "Lastname.doc" (e.g., Smith.doc) and filesize must be less than 5 MB.

Papers must be cleared for public release and a completed Paper Release Form is due at the same time. The release form should be faxed to 1-866-338-0967 or submitted by mail to the DEPS address given above, attention: Carolyn Bowman.

Formatting Guidelines

  • Paper Headings should include the title of the paper, a list of authors, and the contact information of the authors.
  • Papers should be between 2-5 pages in length, including photographs, tables, schematics, plots and references.
  • Graphics/Charts/Photographs MUST be converted to grayscale.
  • Documents should be ONLY in Arial and symbol Font.
  • Main text should be in 10 point Arial type. Title should be 14 point Arial.
  • Text should be left justified.
  • Single column format
  • One inch margin on top, bottom, and sides. Note this is not the MS Word default.
  • The footer should have the papers' session name and the principle author's name (ie. Plenary - Smith) centered, one third inch from the bottom. Authors will be informed of their sessions before the paper deadline.
  • Imported graphics should be .bmp, .gif or .jpg only.
  • Make graphics, equations, tables etc. in-line on their own line. (Choose "in-line with text" in the formatting options.)
  • Things to avoid:

    • Page numbers should not be used.
    • No color graphics. For charts, choose shades of grey that will stand out in B&W.
    • No Company LOGOS
    • No cross-links, hyperlinks, linked footnotes etc.
    • Turn change tracking OFF.
    • No floating graphics elements.
    • No text boxes or graphics boxes (MS Word).
