SPIE Optics and Photonics, the largest interdisciplinary technical event in North America focused on research and technologies in solar, nano, optics, photonics, and space optics, is expected to draw some 5,000 scientists, engineers, and others to the San Diego Convention Center. The event includes 76 technical conferences, nearly 40 courses, and some 240 corporate exhibits displaying the latest in optical components, devices, and materials. Advances in biomedical optics, organic photonics, nanotechnology, solar energy, and other fields will be reported throughout the five-day conference. More information and online registration is here.
