OPTICS & PHOTONICS International Congress 2013
Plenary Special Sessions

Optics and laser technologies are becoming the key technology in all areas of science, and industry in the 21st century. In the plenary session of OPIC2013, introductory talk of "Past, Present and Future of the Lasers" and key notes lectures for advanced laser sources and applications will be presented. These presentations could be helpful for the different areas of science and industry in order to set up the common challenge and the opportunity of collaboration in the near future.
Please join us at the plenary session and find some of new technological solutions needed.
