Hosted at Avantes
This meeting focuses on the use of analytical optical methods for the investigation of environmental questions, in application domains such as air pollution and waste monitoring.
The purpose is to bring the supply chains of broadband spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging, LIBS, and time-gated luminescence flow cytometry, together with the users in different application fields. These supply chains include: (1) component manufacturers, such as optical elements, fiber sensors, lasers (QCLs, DBFs, supercontinuum, VCSELs, etc.), detectors, etc.; (2) spectrometer and sensor manufacturers; (3) system integrators and (4) final users.
