Photonics West 2007: the end

Well, Photonics West is over for another year. And our lasting impression must be that everyone we spoke to agreed that PW2007 has been the busiest event in quite a few years. The signs were everywhere: delegates were forced to stand and even queue to get into some talks, exhibitors seemed to be enjoying brisk business, and the parking lot at the McEnery Convention Center was full before the trade show opened.

We’ve had a great week. And as you can see from the rest of the blog, we’ve been excited by the new technologies that have been reported in both the conference sessions and on the trade show floor. We’d also love you to add your comments to our entries. Perhaps you can provide more detail, offer a different point of view, or have some specific questions about the issues discussed. (By the way, if anyone did mange to get into the talk by LG Electronics that had people queuing out the door, please let us know what was said!)

So it’s goodbye for now…we’re heading home to get some sleep.
