LAZERMaster™ Laser Splicing System
AFL’s LAZERMaster glass processing and splicing system uses a CO2 laser heat source rather than electrodes, ensuring repeatable performance, low maintenance, and eliminating electrode or filament maintenance and instability. Ideal for ultra-high strength splicing, adiabatic tapering and other glass-shaping operations.

2014 Photonics West
SPIE Photonics West is the largest and most influential event for the laser and photonics community in North America. And this year’s conference in San Francisco will feature an expanded industry track for tech startups, investors, and executives, with panel discussions on what startups need for success, promising technology commercialization prospects, and insights on funding biophotonics ventures, just to name a few.
“This year’s added events enrich an already-strong program that is designed to drive economic growth in the photonics industry, stimulate new ideas, accelerate technology transfer, foster new partnerships, and spark innovation,” said SPIE Senior Director Andrew Brown.
Biophotonics is an example of current opportunity, says Linda Smith (Ceres Technical Advisers), moderator of one of the new panels for business management. Smith characterized the field as a fertile ground for investment and economic growth, with a robust market for private placements in development-stage and high-growth biophotonics businesses.
Panels include:
Financing Life Sciences and Healthcare Ventures, moderated by Smith, with panelists including Omar Amirana (Allied Minds), Faz Bashi (Angel Capital Association), Jeremy Salesin (Intellectual Ventures) and Jonathan Wyler (SV Life Sciences Advisers).
What Startups Need to be Successful, moderated by Andrea Belz (Belz Consulting) with an introduction by Arun Chhabra, co-founder at 8tree, winner of the 2013 SPIE Startup Challenge, and panelists James Schaefer (Mark Schaefer Associates), Ken Irato (Faber Group), Liz Nevis (Intermolecular), and Ellen McGuirk (Masterplan Consulting).
Silicon Photonics and Photonic Integrated Circuits, moderated by SPIE Marketing and Industry Relations Director Peter Hallett, with panelists Radha Nagarajan (Infinera), Mario Paniccia (Intel), Vladimir Kozlov (LightCounting), Peter De Dobbelaere (Luxtera), and Ashok Krishnamoorthy (Oracle).
Green Photonics: A Solar Revolution, moderated by Stephen Eglash, Energy and Environment Affiliates Program, Stanford University, with panelists Homer Antoniadis (DuPont), Raffi Garabedian (First Solar), and Martin Green (University of New South Wales).
Executive Perspectives on the World of Optics and Photonics, moderated by SPIE Industry and Market Analyst Stephen Anderson.
A new Technology-Transfer Showcase aims to connect creators with companies, said moderator David Wick, Licensing Executive at Sandia National Labs. "Universities and labs are hotbeds of wildly creative ideas," he said. "The trick is turning those ideas into cost-effective, reliable products and introducing them to the marketplace."
Presentations will feature John Dexheimer (Private Equity Investing) on startup financing, David Krohn (Light Wave Venture) on photonics commercialization, and SPIE's Anderson on the economic impact of the industry and growth trends in photonics.
