During the conference expo, the Center showcased its newly developed products and services available for educational community and industry nationwide. Read more: http://bit.ly/1GzcLKs

In partnership with the other two NSF ATE photonics centers OP-TEC and MPEC, LASER-TEC hosted a showcase dedicated to the celebration of the International Year of Light 2015. Light plays a vital role in our daily lives and is an imperative cross-cutting discipline of science in the 21st century. It has revolutionized medicine, opened up international communication via the Internet, and continues to be central to linking cultural, economic and political aspects of the global society. In proclaiming an International Year focusing on the topic of light science and its applications, the UN has recognized the importance of raising global awareness about how light-based technologies promote sustainable development and provide solutions to global challenges in energy, education, agriculture and health. Read more: http://www.light2015.org/Home.html
