International Year of Light 2015
LASER COMPONENTS is proud to celebrate the International Year of Light 2015 with you. In fact, we are actually having a good time talking about it and learning how others around the world are experiencing it. Our approach is more of a “grass roots” public education. Not only with people involved in our photonics community but more so with local friends, students, associates – the common person.
As an example, I recently had an electrician at my home installing a generator. We started talking about electrons, then moving to photons, I explained that this is the International Year of Light. Wow – did he light up! We had a fantastic discussion about light and its impact on our lives in so many ways. Here at LASER COMPONENTS we are talking with everyone we can about this topic. Everyone we talk to gets excited to discuss it. Not only to learn about what we do here but to share their experiences and perspective of how light impacts their lives and the world. It seems like light is an infinite topic.
So join us, as we join others around the world to celebrate the International Year of Light 2015.
