Plan Now to Attend!
Participants from countries all over the world are invited to attend SPIE Europe's Optics + Optoelectronics in Prague, Czech Republic, April 20-24, 2009. Following the success and excellent feedback for its 2007 Prague debut, Optics + Optoelectronics has returned to the Czech Republic in 2009.
This Central European conference series has become a networking platform enabling exchange of recent research advances in optics and optoelectronic. The conference stimulates discussion about novel concepts and fields of applications, promotes dissemination of scientific results, and offers opportunities to ask questions, support discussions, and enable networking among fellow researchers.
The event will bring forward the latest advances in instruments and devices development: from x-ray optics, photonic manufacturing, to emerging nanotechnologies, among many other cutting-edge topics. The event will begin with a comprehensive "hot topics" session, and will feature workshops discussing the latest European effort and advances in Emerging High-Power European Laser Facilities as well as the new Central European Synchrotron Laboratory project.
We invite all researchers, scientists, engineers, and application and product developers to join their colleagues and share results related to the conference topics described here. Visit Prague, the city of a hundred spires: the magical city of bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church domes. We welcome you to feel at home in the Czech Republic. Please come and join us for this exciting meeting in Prague!
