The potential for high-power laser diodes to displace conventional material processing technologies will be the focus of a talk given by Mark Zediker, president and CEO of Nuvonyx, at the 2002 Laser and Optoelectronics Marketplace seminar in January. Zediker will also discuss the future of diode-laser technology and how it will challenge today�s lasers.
Hosted by Laser Focus World and Strategies Unlimited (Mountain View, CA), the marketplace seminar provides business leaders, investors, and technology analysts with a close look at the laser and optoelectronics industries and where each market segment is headed. Presentations at the 2002 seminar include Laser Focus World�s annual review of global laser markets, an overview of business and technology trends in the industrial laser marketplace, and focused discussions of other key markets.
Highlights include the keynote address, �Semiconductor Capital Equipment Trends and Outlook,� by Dan Tracy, senior market analyst at SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International; Mountain View, CA); a review of tunable laser diode product and market trends in optical communications by Tom Hausken, senior analyst at Strategies Unlimited; an overview of the worldwide fiberoptic communications infrastructure by Richard Mack, VP and general manager of market research firm KMI (Newport, RI); and an analysis of the medical-laser business and emerging technology and application trends by Robert Grant, executive VP of the surgical business at Lumenis (Santa Clara, CA).
