The research of a new field where the micro (MW) wave and millimeter wave (MMW) technology were united with
the photonics technology is actively advanced in world wide.
It is very important to offer the place of the discussion to develop the future ubiquitous telecommunication
technology, by organically uniting the photonics technology and the micro wave, the millimeterwave technology.
Thus, the research technical committee is set up aiming to exchange latest information and the opinion and to
have a discussion about the interaction with the light wave and radio which centers on MW/MMW, the fusion
region, and a new technical development derives from of these.
Moreover, the committee and the society are held to study and develop and spread of the technology of this field.
General research on element (material and medium), device, module, system, networks concerning the
interaction and the fusion region of the radio and the light wave. Theory and simulation, system concept,
network architecture, designing, making for trial, evaluating, and practical use, standardizing, and making
to business are also covered.
The following areas are concretely considered.
