As the global community increasingly recognizes the importance of energy conservation, thinking "green," and low carbon footprints, the photonics and optoelectronics industry is gearing up to provide many of the tools that will enable green technologies. From lasers to test and measurement equipment, from detectors and sensors to metrology, the photonics industry will deliver the tools and materials that will enable the development of green technologies that promise greater efficiency, smaller carbon footprints, and economic growth.
Brought to you by Laser Focus World Magazine and the Optoelectronics Industry Development Association (OIDA), OPTOmism: Photonics Products for Green Technology Conference & Exhibition will bring increased focus to the growing role that photonics is playing in global efforts to "live green."
