The SPIE Optics and Photonics symposium will be held from 1 to 5 August at the San Diego Marriott Marina Hotel in California. Nearly 4500 participants would attend the event, which focuses on Photonic Devices, Solar Energy, Optical Engineering and NanoEngineering. An estimated 2,775 technical presentations and a three-day exhibition would feature in the SPIE Optics and Photonics symposium.
More than 200 companies will take part in the symposium. Information on product launches of various companies, such as Aerotech, Fiberguide Industries, Semiconductor Tapes and Materials, ZEMAX and Gulf Photonics, has been posted on the event website. In addition, Konarka, Risø National Lab and Erlangen-Nürnberg will demonstrate their prototype devices in a technical session.
Papers on Organic Light-Emitting Materials and Devices and Organic Photovoltaics would be presented for review too. After reviewing, they would be published in the SPIE Journal of Photonics for Energy. The editor of the journal is Zakya Kafafi from the National Science Foundation.
The event also conducts the biggest R&D conference on nanotechnology and talks on various topics such as spintronics, metamaterials, optical trapping and plasmonics is scheduled to take place. In addition, 12 conferences on green photonics would also take place. Edward Moses and Jeffrey Tsao, plenary speakers of the symposium, would talk about the technological advancements in Sustainable Energy.
The program will include various speeches on technical programs by speakers such as Ian Ferguson and John Wager. Ferguson will speak on the advancements in SSL and Wager on the utilization of transparent electronics in solar energy displays. Several new courses on topics of optical metrology such as “Optical Scatter Metrology for Industry” and “Nanoscale Dimensionable Metrology” have been introduced. In addition, Kevin Harding would teach about a “3D Optical Metrology” workshop.
