About The Meeting

Frontiers in Optics (FiO) 2007—the 91st OSA Annual Meeting—and Laser Science (LS) XXIII unite the Optical Society of America (OSA) and American Physical Society (APS) communities for five days of quality, cutting-edge presentations, fascinating invited speakers and a variety of special events. The FiO 2007 conference will also offer a number of Short Courses designed to increase participants' knowledge of a specific subject while offering the experience of insightful teachers. An exhibit floor featuring leading optics companies will further enhance the meeting.

The LS XXIII meeting serves as the annual meeting of the Division of Laser Science of the APS and provides an important forum for the latest work on laser applications and development, spanning a broad range of topics in physics, biology and chemistry. The conference will continue to be held in conjunction with OSA's annual meeting.
