The SPIE Photonics conference is the largest and most influential event for the laser and photonics community in North America consisting of 20,000 attendees, two exhibitions, 1,240 exhibiting companies, a wide range of papers on biomedical optics, biophotonics, translational research, industrial lasers, optoelectronics, microfabrication, optical MEMS, and more. The following EMRP projects will be presented at the meeting:
- European metrology for earth observation and climate (ENV04 MetEOC) will develop new standards and will validate sensors used in satellites so that accurate and comparable laboratory-quality measurements of climate parameters can be made from space.
- Metrology for Industrial Quantum Communication Technologies (IND06 MIQC) will develop new measurement techniques and input in to standards and regulation in order to validate the practical use of QKD.
