SPIE to honour Lothar Späth at LASER
By Tim Hayes, Industry Editor, Optics & Laser Europe Magazine and optics.org.
As part of the SPIE Europe Optical Metrology Congress, Lothar Späth will be honoured with an SPIE Visionary Award in recognition of his crucial support for photonics in the historic optical centre of Jena. Späth was chairman of Jenoptik AG when it was established in 1991, and is credited with turning the East German optical engineering company into a world-class success.
The award will be presented during SPIE Europe’s Optical Metrology Congress, which will take place on 14-18 June in Munich, Germany, as part of the World of Photonics Congress. More than 200 technical papers on optics and laser applications in metrology and conservation of art and archaeology will be presented at the event.
Taking centre stage will be Christopher Dainty, head of the applied optics group at the National University of Ireland, Galway, who will give a plenary talk on adaptive optics. Technical sessions will cover the latest solutions to practical problems in industrial design and production engineering, including recent advances in using optical technologies to preserve cultural heritage in art and architecture. Researchers will also describe how optical test and measurement techniques at the micro- and nanoscale are being applied right at the forefront of optical metrology.
Papers are organized into conferences on:
• Optical measurement systems for industrial inspection, including a session on metrology of advanced optics that will be held jointly with the EOS Conference on Manufacturing of Optical Components
• Modelling aspects in optical metrology
• O3A: optics for arts, architecture, and archaeology.
The symposium chairs are Wolfgang Osten of Universität Stuttgart, Germany; Malgorzata Kujawinska, Politechnika Warszawska, Poland; and Pietro Ferraro, Istituto Nazionale di Ottica Applicata, Italy.
