SPIE Defense, Security & Sensing 2011Only a few days to go until the start of SPIE Defense, Security & Sensing 2011 trade show in Orlando, Fla. Along with the 50 courses and more than 2400 presentations, don’t forget to take time to enjoy some of the social networking opportunities while you’re there.
» SPIE-hosted Fellows LuncheonFree-Space Optical Communication and Submarine Laser Communication
On Monday, April 25, from 12 to 1:30 p.m. all Fellows of SPIE are invited to join their colleagues for an informal gathering and a chance to mingle with other Fellows.
This year’s luncheon will feature Dr. Larry Stotts, deputy director for the Strategic Technology Office at DARPA. Stotts will highlight important aspects of propagation channels, turbulence and particulates that are allowing two major laser communications applications to reach maturity: free space optical communication (FSOC) and submarine laser communication (SLC). Click here for more information. Those planning to attend are asked to RSVP to Brent Johnson.
» Hear From a Leading Forensics ExpertAt this year’s Women in Optics Presentation and Reception on Tuesday, April 26, from 4:30 to 6 p.m., all conference attendees can enjoy Colleen Fitzpatrick’s presentation, “The Hand in the Snow.”
Fitzpatrick is a forensic genealogist who has been recognized for her work with the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory on identifying the remains found in Alaska after the 1948 crash of Northwest Flight 4422 (to be published in Scientific American in early 2011). Retired from the optical industry in 2005, she now assists nonprofits, military organizations and the FBI with forensic identification, and has been instrumental in exposing two high-profile Holocaust literary frauds.
» Government Funding Special SessionOn Wednesday, April 27, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., Paul F. McManamon from the Air Force Research Laboratory, who is now retired, will moderate this special session that will include high-level personnel in government funding agencies who will describe current areas of interest to them. This is a chance to guide internal company R&D into areas with a higher probability of funding, based on the insights you will receive during this session.
