A new board of directors has been chosen to steer SECPhO through the next 24 months, as the organization goes from strength to strength in achieving its principle goal of promoting available photonics technology to as broad a cross-section of interests as possible.

To mark the passing of ten exciting years since the formation of the company, Radiantis staff celebrated in style in the picture postcard coastal town of Sitges. Famous, ironically, in the world of art, for its 'beautiful' natural light.

The prize was presented to the winner at the Gala Dinner on July 14 at the Colegio Fonseca in Salamanca by Radiantis CEO Sara Otero.

The 'Laser World of Photonics' is considered by many to be the leading international trade fair for optical technologies and this year's event, which took place in the Messe München Centre in Germany, was no exception. It attracted 30,000 visitors, 10% up on last year, and provided Barcelona-based lasertech manufacturer Radiantis with the perfect platform on which to showcase its newly developed OPOs, covering the continuous wave, picosecond and femtosecond ranges.
