Cement not included, 10:1 return on federal infrastructure investment in photonics?

OTTAWA - Responding to the credit crisis and resulting global recession, national governments around the world are furiously pumping cement-truck loads of money into infrastructure projects. Some of these economic stimulus initiatives will work, and some will fail; few will offer a specific return on investment (ROI). The Canadian photonics industry, employing an estimate 20.000 people in 400 companies, currently offers an innovation infrastructure ROI example that shows a nearly $10 return for every dollar invested. This is based on a $52 million federal government investment in the National Research Council Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre (NRC-CPFC). By Blair Patacairk

Unique Course on Illumination Engineering

EINDHOVEN - In cooperation with LASER2000 Benelux and Photon Engineering (U.S.), Photonics Cluster Netherlands is proud to announce this unique 3-day course which will be held on November 8 to 10 at the Novotel Eindhoven.

Photon Engineering’s illumination engineering short course is an intensive 3-day instruction on the modeling, design, and concepts involved in the field of illumination. Our instructor will be Dr. John Koshel of Photon Engineering. Please read here more detailed the description of the course.

The price of the course will be € 2.250,-- (excl. 19% BTW). Included is a copy of the 350+ page handout and two overnight stays at the Novotel Eindhoven. Comfortable hotel room, dinner, breakfast, lunches and drinks are all included. If you don't want to stay overnight at the hotel the price will be € 1.990,-- (hotel room, dinner and breakfast excluded). Please register in time because the number of attendees will be limited. The registration will open on Friday 11 June, and will close on 30 September.

Attendees should have a rudimentary knowledge of optical design and radiometry. No knowledge of illumination topics is assumed; the course starts with very basic radiometric, source, and design concepts and develops the relevant language, theory and techniques. This short course is not taught with a particular software package in mind; the techniques and discussion topics are generic to the field of illumination engineering. Consequently engineers using any of the commercial software packages will benefit from attending this short course. Note that the course makes predominant use of Photon Engineering’s FRED® software. Please visit the Photon Engineering website or link directly to this overview for a technical description.
