5th Conference on Manufacturing of Optical Systems

REGISTER NOW

Manufacturing of Optical Systems will highlight significant technology trends, emerging technologies and associated prospective developments in the field of optics fabrication and testing. This conference provides a forum for all aspects of optics fabrication and testing, ranging from micro to large-scale optics and from high value one-off to mass-produced components including lessons learned papers on special manufacturing issues such as polishing process stability and finishing processes for high-end optics, optics featuring clear apertures below 1 mm or above 100 mm in diameter. One main goal of the meeting is to provide a better link between the design, the manufacturing, and the characterization of optical components and systems. For the first time, there will be a reviewed industrial poster session displayed during the whole conference with companies presenting their key technology competences.

General Chair: Oliver Fähnle, FISBA AG (CH)

INDUSTRIAL POSTER SESSION

For the first time, a reviewed industrial poster session is organized where companies are entitled to present their key technology competences on a poster that will be presented during the whole time of the conference in the conference session room.
Posters presenting competences and know how rather than products will be preferred.

Joint sessions together with Optical Metrology Conference, organized by SPIE Europe.
