"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.
