José R. Salcedo, CEO of Multiwave, chairs the session “High Power Fiber Lasers” at Europhoton 2008, Paris.

 

This unique conference featured the latest breakthroughs in the field of solid-state, fiber and waveguided light sources. Venue was the "Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris", in the very center of Paris, near the Sorbonne, the Collége de France, the "Jardins du Luxembourg" and the Saint Michel boulevard.

 

World class researchers discussed the latest developments in the scientific community accompanied by educational sessions at the student and postdoctoral level, and by informal breakout sessions for discussion and vendor display viewing. The third in a row, the Europhoton conference has shown to be popular among scientists and engineers. The highlight of the conference will be the Special Symposium on "Extreme Light Sources in Measurements and Sensing". The top scientists in the field will explore extremes in optics and laser sources in the light of new applications in physics, metrology, high precision spectroscopy, and optical communications.
