Work on optical fibres in Russia

The Sixth All-Russia Conference on Fibre Optics (ARCFO-2017) was held in Perm on 3–6 October 2017. The previous conferences were held in 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015, also in Perm. Organised by the Fiber Optics Research Center (FORC), Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Perm Research and Production Instrument Company (PRPIC) and supported by the Perm National Research Polytechnic University (PNRPU) and Perm State University (PSU), ARCFO-2017 was a key scientific and technological event in the field of photonics, stimulating the development of fibre optics and adjacent areas of research in Russia.
