PhAST and Laser Focus World Award exemplifies innovation |
SAN JOSE, CA ...Each year, the Innovation Award judging committee looks at a number of submissions of new products and technologies, trying to identify those that clearly stand out among the others as the most “innovative.” While many products are simply improvements to existing product lines and technologies, and many more are surrounded in the industry by competitive designs that address the same application space, the truly innovative products are those with a strong patent position that uniquely address a specific application or market and make an immediate difference in the lives of researchers and everyday people...
Honorable Mention
...And in keeping with the spirit of innovation in the optics field Holochip (Albuquerque, NM) created the APL-1050 an adaptive polymer lens that takes the place of boxes of fixed-focal-length lenses, speeding prototyping for researchers.
Now in its third year, The PhAST/Laser Focus World Innovation Award is sponsored by Laser Focus World magazine and PhAST. Please go to www.phastconference.org/innovation for details and start planning your submissions for 2009!
