The MIT Center for Integrated Photonic Systems (CIPS) and The Optical Society (OSA) present a new meeting on the rapidly expanding roles of optics and photonics in energy generation and conservation. Three key energy topics will be covered: solar, solid state lighting and energy-source development and efficiency, including a focus on optical systems and design. The meeting will cover both development and deployment aspects of these technologies, and will explore the barriers and opportunities to accelerate the impact of optics and photonics in the growing energy field. A major objective of the meeting is to provide an interactive forum to generate discussion among researchers and practitioners across the energy value chain. Some results from the MIT Energy Initiative, a major campus-wide program and a meeting co-sponsor, will also be presented.
