Report from FiO/LS 2007: Crystallizing the Future of Optics

Patricia Daukantas

Frontiers in Optics (FiO) 2007, OSA’s 91st annual meeting, brought the latest research in optics and photonics to San Jose, Calif. Among other topics, the conference focused on nanophotonics and photonic crystals, optical materials, optics for energy production and biomedical applications.

Silicon Valley may have gotten its name from electronics, but FiO showed the region that photonics is here to stay. The OSA annual meeting brought together scientists and engineers, academic researchers and telecom entrepreneurs, Nobel Prize winners and undergraduate students. Attendees also had plenty of time to exchange ideas at multiple poster sessions, OSA division meetings and networking events.
