This year's symposium and exhibition Optics + Optoelectronics International Society for Optics and Photonics SPIE was the largest in its 10 years of existence, it attracted more than 700 participants from around the world. The extent of the introduced technologies and the number of personalities provided the participants with a superior experience and helped interactions even across fields. This meeting which took place from 13 - 16 April, 2015 was was one of the most important events in optics and photonics in the Czech Republic in the International Year of Light 2015.
UFE and the COST MP 1204 action organized two international conferences, which were a part of the celebrations of the International Year of Light 2015. The conferences took place at UFE from April 8 - April 11, 2015.
The international conference which will focus on topics related to the implementation of semiconductor sources and detectors in the mid-infrared spectral region and their use for environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics and security applications will be held from 8th to 11th April 2015 at our institute together with the 3rd Annual Conference of COST Action MP1204.
IPE will be attending the AMPER Trade Fair 2015, where we will show the visitors not only prototypes of components for fiber lasers but also optical fibers, fiber lasers and optical sensors. Key equipment for creating, comparing and establishing the national time scale UTC (TP) will also be showcased and much more!
