CEOs Look for Economic Bright Spots

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
MUNICH, Germany, June 25, 2009 -- While some optical technology areas are experiencing high growth rates, that growth may be limited by the number of qualified workers available, and innovations are still needed in the production process. Those were a few of the conclusions reached during the CEO round table, "Optical Technologies – Bright Hopes in Times of Crisis," held during Laser World of Photonics 2009. Industry leaders from the US, France, Germany and China took part in the event, held in the New Munich Trade Fair Centre's B2 exhibition hall: Dr. John R. Ambroseo, president and CEO, Coherent; Benoit Bazire, CEO,...Read full article

    diffraction
    As a wavefront of light passes by an opaque edge or through an opening, secondary weaker wavefronts are generated, apparently originating at that edge. These secondary wavefronts will interfere with the primary wavefront as well as with each other to form various diffraction patterns.
    diode
    A two-electrode device with an anode and a cathode that passes current in only one direction. It may be designed as an electron tube or as a semiconductor device.
    superresolution
    Superresolution refers to the enhancement or improvement of the spatial resolution beyond the conventional limits imposed by the diffraction of light. In the context of imaging, it is a set of techniques and algorithms that aim to achieve higher resolution images than what is traditionally possible using standard imaging systems. In conventional optical microscopy, the resolution is limited by the diffraction of light, a phenomenon described by Ernst Abbe's diffraction limit. This limit sets a...
