The World of Photonics Congress 2009 again attracted approximately
3,100 delegates from all over the world. The congress was larger, had a stronger
international character, and had a sharper focus on practical
applications than ever before.
The
seven individual conferences covered the entire spectrum of optical technologies. A new addition was the
"Manufacturing of Optical Components" conference, which was organized by the European Optical Society (EOS). The focal
point topics like biophotonics emphasized at the trade show were also
examined in a number of conferences at the World of Photonics Congress.
