Covering topics ranging from components to industrial applications, Laser World of Photonics China 2013 will bring together researchers and professionals from institutions and companies worldwide March 19-21 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center.

Organizers at Messe München International expect that the approximately 600 exhibitors at the eighth Laser China will occupy an area of 370,000 sq ft. Products on display will represent categories such as lasers and optoelectronics, optics and optics manufacturing technology, test and measurement, sensors, laser systems for production engineering, optical measurement systems, optical information and communications, biophotonics and medical engineering, imaging, illumination and energy, and security and services.

In 2012, Laser China attracted 475 exhibitors from 19 countries and districts, an increase of 31.6 percent over 2011, as well as 34,326 professional visitors from 40 countries and districts, an increase of 19 percent.

Once again, Photonics Congress China will be held in conjunction with Laser China. The conference covers several sectors of lasers and photonics; topics range from research and development in lasers and optical technology to renewable energy. The congress includes: LPC 2013, the eighth International Conference on Laser Processes and Components; Optics Frontier – the eighth Conference on Laser Technology and Optoelectronics; and the OSA Photonics Technology Program and Technical Training Courses Series. Both the conference and the trade fair will combine science, research and industrial applications, supporting exchange between the scientific and industrial communities.
