From basic research to applied development facilities, it is essential to construct systems for highly reproducible and robust generation of "useful" light. This inevitably requires effective simulation and properties assessment by accurate mathematical modeling. We will present methodology, in terms of both logic and implementation, for the construction of such models.

We will exhibit a Face-to-Face communication system that is able to produce a highly realistic "presence" effect that is unattainable by conventional Internet extension. This system is based on the development of the world's fastest plastic optical fiber and a high-definition large-screen display.

Graded-index polymer parallel optical waveguides that will enable terabit-order throughput for board-level optical interconnections in high-end server will be on display. We will also exhibit polymer optical devices (passive mode-lock devices) which incorporate carbon nanotubes for femtosecond-pulsed lasers.
