SPIE Photonics West 2010
» 2nd Annual Prism Awards
After last year's successful launch of the industry's first Prism Awards for Photonics Innovation, this year's list of high-quality nominees is creating quite a stir. The Prism Awards Ceremony and Banquet, in which SPIE and Photonics Media recognize the most innovative products and processes, will be held Wednesday, Jan. 27, from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square hotel. There is limited seating, and tickets are required. Dress is business attire. For more information, visit: www.PhotonicsPrismAward.com
» Women in Optics: A Key to Sustainability
Priscilla W. Laws, a research professor at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa., will host an evening of networking and inspiration during this year's Photonics West. Her presentation will speak to the importance of educating girls and physics teachers in developing countries, an approach that she believes is an effective strategy for sustainable development.
Laws received her bachelor's degree from Reed College in Portland, Ore., and her doctorate from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, where she studied nuclear physics. After joining the Dickinson faculty in 1965, she began focusing her efforts on the health effects of radiation, which led to the publication of two consumer books on medical x-rays. As a research professor, she works towards promoting ways to use physics research and education to enhance sustainable development in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The networking reception, which is open to all conference attendees, is a great opportunity to connect with others in the industry while enjoying wine, cheese and refreshments. It will be held Monday, Jan. 25, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square hotel, Golden Gate Room 8.
» Explore the Ethnic Enclaves
As luck would have it, the Moscone Center, home to this year's Photonics West, is in San Francisco's SOMA (South of Market) district, known for its ethnic enclaves and some of the hippest restaurants and night spots.
Chez Spencer and Sushi Groove South (unmarked from the street) deliver undercover chic in an industrial, unassuming section of SOMA. Some of San Francisco's finest restaurants, including Town Hall, for American cuisine done with a rustic, gourmet flair, and sister restaurants Lulu and Anzu, are within walking distance of the Moscone Center and the Museum of Modern Art. Try the popular bistro Chez Papa Resto, which offers classic French cuisine, or experience contemporary New American fare and a wine list of distinction at Luce, a recent recipient of a coveted Michelin star. Around the ballpark, SOMA offers excellent spots for house-brewed beers and hamburgers as easily as martinis and gourmet noshes.
» The Golden Anniversary of the Laser
The first successful optical laser was fired by Theodore H. Maiman in 1960. Since then, the laser has enabled some of the greatest innovations of our time. To celebrate, SPIE is hosting a welcome reception on Monday, Jan. 25, 2010, at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square hotel. The reception, dubbed “Cirque du Lasaire,” promises to be a night of intrigue, with laser infused magic, acrobatics and laser displays.
SPIE will also showcase historical lasers on the exhibition floor at “The Laser: A 50 Year Retrospective,” where attendees can learn more about those people who have been critical to the advancement of the laser.
