OIDA's 2009 OPTOmism Conference: Powering the Green Revolution through Photonics
A Resounding Success!
During the May 18-20 event in Santa Clara’s Techmart Center, nearly 300 participants engaged in a lively exchange of industry insights, best practices, value chain issues, scaling deployments and next generation developments of green photonics. The photonics industry is at the core of developing and delivering solutions that enable greater efficiency, smaller carbon footprints, and promote economic growth. It covers a wide range of technologies and applications: photovoltaic energy generation, highly efficient solid-state lighting, advanced sensing and instrumentation for environmental monitoring and effective power generation and delivery, new low-power display and communications technologies, and clean manufacturing using laser processing. OPTOmism established itself as a premier event that brings together executives and leading researchers to address the growing and critical role of these key advanced technologies in global efforts to “live green” in energy and environmental solutions.
OIDA Commission testimony focuses on stengthening the U.S. Optoelectronics Industry
Michael Lebby, president of OIDA, testified at a hearing on China's Industrial Policy and Its Impact on U.S. Companies, Workers and the American Economy. Chaired by Commissioners Patrick A. Mulloy and Daniel M. Slane, Lebby offered OIDA’s perspective on the panel discussing China's Nanotechnology and Optoelectronics Industries. More>>
