A Season for Disruption
MIKE WHEELER, MANAGING EDITOR
An Apple watch, a Samsung smartphone, an LG television, a virtual-reality headset. All are likely to make the short list of the most sought-after consumer electronics this holiday season. Soon these and other luxury consumer goods are likely to include OLED displays, prized for their crystal clear visual characteristics and compatibility with flexible and transparent materials.

Silicon Photomultiplier: Theory and Applications
Wed, Jan 11, 2017 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
Please join us for a FREE webinar presented by Hamamatsu Corporation. The goals of this webinar are for you to develop a strong theoretical understanding of how a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) functions; become familiar with its key optoelectronic characteristics; and understand the pros and cons of SiPMs. The presenter, Slawomir S. Piakek, Ph.D., will also discuss realistic applications which use SiPMs. Hamamatsu Corporation is the North American subsidiary of Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. (Japan), a leading manufacturer of devices for the generation and measurement of IR, visible and UV light.

LAM Technology, Opportunities and Challenges
Thu, Jan 12, 2017 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM) is one of the breakthrough technologies facilitating the transition from traditional subtractive machining to 3D printing. This FREE webinar will provide you with a solid foundation in LAM and 3D printing, covering advantages, possibilities and challenges. Presenter Wayne Penn, applied physics consultant and former president of Alabama Laser Systems, will draw on over 40 years of experience to provide you with unique insight into LAM and its potential uses on the industrial production floor.
