About our Host:




As part of the program, attendees will learn about the capabilities of ASD/PANalytical through a presentation and tour of facilities.
 
ASD Inc., a PANalytical company, is recognized worldwide for providing high performance analytical instrumen-tation solutions to industrial and scientific markets.

ASD Inc. was founded in 1990 and continues to design, manufacture, and sell sophisticated Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy instruments, solutions and applications expertise for materials measurement and research.

ASD successfully expanded beyond its origins in the scientific markets, into industrial manufacturing markets, by providing instrumen-tation solutions for the real-time measurement of non-homogenous materials in manufacturing and quality control environments.
ASD's industrial instrument lines now include on-line and near-line process control, material inspection and identification in the field and lab, and mining exploration and production.

ASD has instruments in over 60 countries and a distribution network encompassing six continents.

"The Optics & Photonics Marketplace: Outlook for 2016"
   
The global photonics market declined in 2015 as world trade slowed and the U.S. dollar gained strength against other currencies.  Slowing sales in China, troubles in Europe, and a slow recovery in Japan are delaying, and even exacerbating, a broader recovery.  The U.S. photonics industry fared better than others, but is facing a more challenging period.  Tom Hausken will present an update of the global and U.S. photonics markets, and a projection for 2016.  The presentation will include results from OIDA's market tracking effort and some recent examinations of key topics important to photonics.  

Speaker: Tom Hausken, Senior Industry Advisor
                   OSA Industry Development Associates

With over 35 years in optoelectronics, Dr. Hausken focuses on industry activities at OSA-the Optical Society.  This includes OIDA (OSA Industry Development Associates), where he held a position earlier in his career.  For 13 years until 2012, Dr. Hausken led market research and strategy consulting for lasers, image sensors, and a range of other photonic products at Strategies Unlimited.  He was also a telecom policy analyst at the U.S. Congressional Office of Technology Assessment, and held R&D and production positions at Alcatel and Texas Instruments in photonics and electronics.  He has a PhD from the University of California at Santa Barbara, in optoelectronics.


"Colorado Economic Development Resources
