Exhibition: Optics + Photonics Exhibition

Synopsis / Description:

The conference and exhibition where optical engineering meets emerging technologies in the areas of nanotechnology and science, photonic devices and solar energy and their applications. Hear the latest research from four international symposia:
+ Optical Engineering + Applications
+ Nanoscience + Engineering
+ Photonic Devices + Applications
+ Solar Energy + Applications
With over 3,100 technical presentations, 50 courses, 4,500 scientists, engineers, managers and instrumentation innovators, and over 230 exhibitors, Optics + Photonics offers you both classic and cutting-edge optics and photonics research, training and product information. Keep abreast of emerging technologies and market trends in organic photovoltaic energy sources, nanotechnology, solid state lighting, and solar energy. Hear top-level speakers and over 1,000 technical presentations that focus on these exciting new developments. Get the kind of technical information, professional training, hardware and market intelligence that is key to success in today's changing job and technology landscape.

+ NanoScience + Engineering 2012 Plan to attend NanoScience + Engineering, one of the largest and most important technical conferences covering developing technologies at the nanoscale, current and future applications, and the environmental, health, and safety issues that must be addressed. Hear over 735 technical presentations, learn the latest from noted plenary speakers; attend specially designed courses for those working in the field; visit exhibiting companies that are taking the science of nanotechnology to applications. NanoScience + Engineering will provide the networking opportunities you need to stay current and the information you need to advance understanding of the field. Don't miss the Symposium-wide and NanoScience + Engineering Plenary Events.

+ Optical Engineering + Applications 2012 The world's largest technical event that covers optical design, systems, and engineering plus applications for remote sensing, astronomy, space, and more. Made up of 51 technical conferences with over 1800 technical papers, related courses, special events, networking opportunities, and a large instrument exhibit, the Optical Engineering + Applications event offers you the opportunity to learn about the latest developments in optical technologies that play key roles in advancing current and future real-world applications of light-based technologies. In a world where interdisciplinary collaboration is the rule rather than the exception, the scope of the Optical Engineering + Applications technical program gives you opportunities to collaborate across disciplines that no other event can. Don't miss the Symposium-wide and Optical Engineering + Applications Plenary Events.
