January 5th, 2013 - abstract submission deadline

This course is designed to give the operating room personnel a basic foundation in laser biophysics, tissue interaction and laser safety. Laser safety protocols will be addressed according to the ANSI Z136.3 Safe Use of Lasers in Health Care standard, AORN recommended practices, and ASLMS practices. Instruction is accomplished through didactics, and discussions. This course is worth 9.95 Contact Hours, 1.5 BLS CM Points and eligible for ABIH CM Points.

CLEO, the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics, is the premier international forum for scientific and technical optics, uniting the fields of lasers and electro-optics by bringing together all aspects of laser technology, from basic research to industry applications. CLEO 2013 will feature its technical program under three core conferences; CLEO: QELS-Fundamental Science, CLEO: Science & Innovations, and CLEO: Applications & Technology.

In addition to more than 1800 technical presentations and 27 short courses, CLEO 2013 will offer 12 special symposia, including Advances in Extreme UV Science and Applications, Quantum Simulators, Novel Light Sources for Biomedical Applications, and The Path to Sustainable Energy: Laser Driven Inertial Fusion Energy.

Plenary speakers for the 2013 event include Paul Corkum of the University of Ottawa and National Research Council, Canada, who will show how attosecond pulses are formed and how they can be measured during production (in-situ) or after they have left the nonlinear medium (ex-situ); Stephen Harris of Stanford University, who will present his research, titled “Parametric Down Conversion Over Fifty Years: From Microwaves to X-rays;” and Kumar Patel of Pranalytica Inc., who will discuss how quantum cascade lasers are revolutionizing midwave- and longwave infrared applications.

The CLEO: Market Focus program focuses on the latest trends in the photonic marketplace, providing a forum to discuss new products and emerging technologies and markets while also providing network opportunities. Presentations for this year include Industrial Laser Outlook and Opportunities, Photonics Entrepreneurs, Medical and Aesthetic Lasers – The Future of Light-tissue Interactions, and Optics & Innovation for Energy & the Environment.

CLEO: Expo gathers more than 300 companies from around the globe to introduce new products and provide hands-on demonstrations of their latest innovations. Free exhibit floor programs include the Market Focus program, Technology Transfer Showcase, OSA’s Executive Speaker Series and the CLEO: Expo Technology Playground, where top industry players will demonstrate their latest products and services in an exclusive on-floor event that allows attendees to participate in live, interactive presentations.

Designed to teach the knowledge required to perform the duties of Laser Safety Officer as described in the ANSI Z136.1 Safe Use of Lasers standard. Information on lasers and optics, applications, bioeffects, beam and non-beam hazards, hazard analysis, control measures and training on laser safety program development and administration. This course meets all LSO training requirements outlined by ANSI, OSHA and ACGIH. Worth 32 CECs by AAHP, 4.5 BLS CM Points by the Board of Laser Safety and eligible for ABIH CM Points.

The conference, like its predecessors, meets every three years and represents an important forum in which the latest advancements in the broad area of optical coatings from research to applications are reported. The format of the meeting includes invited papers by leaders in the field, oral presentations and poster sessions with ample discussion periods. There are no parallel sessions.

euroLED is dedicated  to the science and technology of LEDs. Now in its 10th year, euroLED comprises a Technical Conference for industry professionals, an Exhibition with over 100 stands, and a highly popular Gala Dinner.  

Experts from industry and academia are invited to present papers at euroLED 2013 (previously unpublished submissions only). 

The euroLED conference will be the place to learn about the technology of LEDs and LED systems for use in applications such as solid state lighting, bio photonics and many other enabling applications.

The core of the LED systems is the light engine and this is a key focus for the conference, bringing together key players from all over the world.
