IMEKO TC2 Symposium on Photonics in Measurement

25th August 2008 - 26th August 2008
Prague, Czech Republic

Photonics has become a dramatically expanding and progressing at the beginning of the new century. The photonics technologies and solutions are widely implemented in measuring and testing because of their flexibility, reliability and contactless nature. The 18th IMEKO TC 2 Symposium organised by Czech and Slovak Society for Photonics will mainly summarise the impact and contribution of Photonics to the field of measurements.

Symposium topics
1. Interferometry and optical testing techniques
2. Development of optical measurement systems
