inforMation for visitorsdriving innovation

years

40 years of laser world of photonics. that Means: in the lead for 40 years

dear visitors,

It is a driving force behind innovations and a source of momentum for an entire industry—and has been for 40 years. when it opens its gates from May 13–16, 2013, those are the credentials that will launch the leading trade fair for photonics into its next decade of success.

so what is it, exactly, that distinguishes LAser world of PHotoNICs? on the one hand, its consistent orientation to practice and business. with a range of exhibits that closely reflects the marketplace—and is even a step ahead of it at times! on the other, the presence of all leading interna-tional companies from industry and research: this is where you find a complete market overview and concrete solutions to all of the questions that come up in your day-to-day business.

All of these factors of success characterize LAser world of PHotoNICs. But for us—the ones who are in a constant dialog with the industry and with our exhibitors—there is one more key aspect: the fact that the fair is so easy to identify with. this is where the laser and photonics industry is at home. this is where the industry goes to explore potential and work together to set new ideas, concepts and inno -vations in motion that will shape the future. Not just for the industry, but for everyone who profits from photonics-based applications and products.

this “we” feeling is what makes the leading international trade fair so special to us. And why we are all the more pleased to welcome you to the 21st LAser world of PHotoNICs!

MAIN tHeMes IN 2013:

LAsers & LAser systeMs For ProduCtIoN eNgINeerINg

Lasers and laser systems for production engineering have been a central theme of LAser world of PHotoNICs since the fair was founded in 1973. As the world’s largest trade fair for this application sector, it depicts the entire range of solutions: exhibitors present their products for use in various branches of industry and for various materials.

ILLuMINAtIoN & eNergy

New manufacturing techniques in photo-voltaics and battery production, energy-saving lighting concepts, the use of

renewable energy sources and increased energy effi ciency are helping to master the

global challenges of producing and storing energy and climate protection. topics that LAser world of PHotoNICs and the world of Photonics Congress address with new product developments, application examples and lectures.

BIoPHotoNICs & MedICAL eNgINeerINg

Biophotonics has been indispensible in medicine and biotech-nology for quite some time. As a driving force behind innova-tions and a technology that will shape the future, it can play a key role in a company’s ability to tap new markets. the exhibition sector in Hall B1 focuses on its applications, methods and techniques. exhibitors there present their products and solutions for spectroscopy, microscopy, imaging, therapy and manipulation techniques—and give important impetus for an interdisciplinary exchange and future investment decisions.

solutions don’t prove theMselves in theory. only in practice.

THE APPLICATION PANELS IN 2013:

the world of Photonics Congress bridges the gap between theory and practice with the Application Panels—application-oriented series of lectures to which trade visitors, exhibitors and congress participants are invited where industry representatives speak about the latest challenges and discuss solution approaches in photonics. Among other things, they include megatrends such as e-mobility and lightweight design as well as sustainability and energy effi ciency.

Among other things, the lecture program’s highlights include laser applications in ophthalmology, high-power diode lasers and vCseLs, organic and printed electronics, smart bricks for e-mobility and laser-based generative manufacturing. experi ence examples of concrete applications, gain fi rst-hand knowledge and make promising contacts.

your benefi ts:

• Application-oriented presentations and opportunities to exchange ideas and information directly with the speakers

• First-rate lecture event—included in price of admission• Concrete practical knowledge and new impetus for your

company • All presented applications and systems are also on display

at the fair

In 2011, the Application Panels featured 70 lectures that were attended by more than 2,000 participants. 95% of them gave the program a rating of good to very good.
