This Workshop aims at providing a forum for material scientists, chemists and physicists where to debate about the state of the art and the perspectives of the photonic materials based on rare earth ions. Both fundamental photoluminescence properties and application-oriented materials investigations will be considered.

How well do you know Europe?

Take part in the EOS Geography Quiz to find out if you are a high-power laser or a light bulb when it comes to locating European cities. The three winners get a green laser pointer sponsored by Laser Components and a free EOS Membership for 2010. Visit us at booth 520!

Pacific International Conference on Applications of Lasers and Optics (PICALO) focuses on the growth and application of lasers and optics in the Pacific region. PICALO brings together researchers, engineers, equipment suppliers and industry personnel to hear the latest developments and progress in lasers and applications and to share knowledge, experiences and visions. PICALO offers an exciting technical and social program in cities that represent laser growth in the Pacific region. PICALO features sessions on Laser Materials Processing and Laser Micro, Nano and Ultrafast Fabrication as well as the International Enterprise Summit.

Who should attend PICALO?

INVEST in PHOTONICS® is the only event to:

Facilitate the meeting between:

- Entrepreneurs and Executives of emerging companies in the field of Photonics and
- Investors and Analysts working in the entire photonics applications sector (energy, environment, telecoms, health, industry, consumer technology…)- Address the current business issues facing the industry with opinion leaders - Increase the visibility of the Photonics Industry

Why should you attend ?

For the fifth time the “International Conference on Laser Processes and Components (LPC)” will take place within the framework of the trade fair LASER World of PHOTONICS China 2009 (16th-18th 2010) in the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) and is being organized again by Messe Munich, Laser Centre Hannover, Laser Institute of America and the Chinese Optical Society-Laser Processing Committee (COS-LPC).

In the previous years the Chinese laser market has developed at a rapid race. The Peoples Republic of China is one of the biggest export target markets for photonics products. The focus of the conference is to promote the cooperation and the technology transfer between science and industry in the field of laser technology.

Laser material processing technologies, laser components as well as current developments and trends in optical technologies will be presented at the two-day event.

The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), in collaboration with the International Commission for Optics (ICO), the Optical Society of America (OSA), the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE), the European Optical Society (EOS), the Societa Italiana di Ottica e Fotonica (S1OF), the US National Academy of Science (NAS), the Photonics Society (IEEE) and the Central European Initiative (CEI) will organize a Winter College on Optics and Energy, which will be held at ICTP, Trieste, Italy, from 8 to 19 February, 2010.
