Imaging and Applied Optics: OSA Optics & Photonics Congress:
The frontiers in imaging and selected areas in applied optics will be examined at the Optics and Photonics Congress (OPC) to be held in Monterey, California. This congress is composed of six complimentary meetings and is designed to present a comprehensive view of the latest developments in imaging and applied optical sciences. Two of the meetings Imaging Systems and Applications (IS) and Computational Optical Imaging and Sensing (COSI) deal with both latest theoretical advances in imaging sciences as well as the application of imaging techniques and processing methodologies in the development of some of the most advanced imaging system designs. Presentations will further describe the employment of these imaging technologies in scientific, commercial, medical, and military applications. In the applied optics arena, papers describing advanced optical sensing technologies and their application to the solution of numerous environmental, industrial, and testing applications will be presented by recognized leaders in these fields. The Applied Industrial Optics (AIO) meeting continues to attract industrial leaders in the application of cutting edge optical sensors in diverse market sectors including defense, oil & gas, food and beverage and pharmaceuticals to name a few. Advances in optical sensor component technologies and the capabilities demonstrated by these new sensors will be presented in the Optical Sensors (SENSORS) meeting. These advances directly compliments talks presented by speakers in the more applied meeting on Applied Industrial Optics and provide an indication of sensors expected to find use in numerous applied applications. The meeting on Optical Remote Sensing of the Environment (ORS) reports on some of the most advanced sensing techniques used to characterize the environment and the results of studies providing a more complete understanding of the atmosphere. All aspects of optics fabrication and testing ranging from micro-optics to large optical systems will be covered in the meeting on Optical Fabrication and Testing (OF&T). Design concepts and new materials offering novel capabilities as well as fabrication and finishing techniques of aspheric, conformal and freeform optics will be discussed by many of the leaders in this field at this meeting.
Together, this Congress represents a form in which the attendees are exposed to the forefront advances in imaging and applied optics and are able to hear discussion of the application of these technologies to important industrial, military and medical problems.
