Dear  ,

On 21 October 1983, the General Conference of Weights And Measures adopted
the value of 299,792.458 km/s for the speed of light. The 31st anniversary of this occasion is an excellent time to organize a "Photonics Open Days" and reach out to the general public. Although the Photonics industry is very much technology driven, it is important to promote Photonics to the general public, public authorities, students, investors, and other stakeholders. The initiative is supported by industry media, event organizers, and national contact points in several countries. What is needed now is preliminary feedback of the companies/organizations willing to participate and support.
No commitment is needed at this stage, just an expression of interest/support before 14 March. The aim is for hundreds of European organizations to participate in the "Photonics Open Days".

Can we count on your support for the 2014 "Photonics Open Days"?
Organizations may confirm before 14 March at:

A Roadmap to Efficient Green-Blue-Ultraviolet LEDs

Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have suggested a method that could significantly increase the efficiency of green-blue-ultraviolet light-emitting diodes based on GaInN/GaN, AlGaN/GaN, and AlInN/GaN quantum wells. Their approach could enable advances in solid state lighting and the creation of low threshold lasers and high power light emitting diodes (LEDs). Their research is published in the January 25 and November 26, 2013 issues of Applied Physics Letters. Read more »
