WASHINGTON — The 2017 CLEO Conference and Exposition (CLEO:2017) will unite attendees, exhibitors and more than 2,000 presentations from around the world. Comprehensive, peer-reviewed technical sessions, a cutting-edge exhibition, and market focused exhibit-floor programming, provided attendees an unparalleled opportunity to immerse themselves in a broad range of research, technologies and innovative new products. Hot topics include advances in metaphotonic devices, military applications of high-power lasers, multimodal imaging in biophotonics and optical microcavities for ultrasensitive detection.

Comprehensive High-Quality Programming
“By uniting the fields of lasers and opto-electronics, CLEO provides attendees with a unique view into this technology lifecycle — from early research to industry applications,” said Ursula Keller, ETH Zurich, Switzerland. “I am honored to be at CLEO:2017 and share the stage with some of the leading minds in the science of lasers and electro-optics.”

Keynote Programming
Uniting the fields of lasers and opto-electronics by bringing together all aspects of laser technology, from basic research to industry applications, the CLEO:2017 plenary will highlight presentations on:

Christopher Contag, Stanford University, USA
Insertable, Implantable and Wearable Micro-optical Devices for the Early Detection of Cancer

Atac Imamoglu, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Polaritons in Two-dimensional Electron Systems

Ursula Keller, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Ultrafast Solid-state Lasers: A Success Story with no End in Sight

Nergis Mavalvala, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
Gravitational Wave Detectors of the Future: Beyond the First LIGO Discoveries

Industry Leading Companies in Lasers and Electro-Optics
More than 200 companies exhibited at CLEO:2017, taking advantage of the annual industry leading gathering to introduce new products and demonstrate cutting-edge innovations. Companies such as Coherent, Edmund Optics, Menlo Systems, Thorlabs, Toptica Photonics and many others showcased state-of-the-art technology from a wide-variety of topical areas including ultrafast lasers, spectroscopy, optical pulse technology and nanophotonics. The CLEO exhibit hall featured presentations on the state of the optics and photonics industry, precision manufacturing using ultrafast lasers and quantum optomechanics.
