Workshop on "Laser Diodes for Space Applications"
Mon November 23 2015, 9:00 AM – Tue November 24 2015, 6:00 PM
The FP7-Space Project BRITESPACE in collaboration with ESA is pleased to announce the international Workshop on “Laser Diodes for Space Applications”, devoted to promote the contact between developers and manufacturers of laser diodes with developers and users of space systems.
The aim is to promote the interaction between communities of laser diodes manufacturers and space systems developers and users in both research and industry environments.
