Title: The Diversity of Optics Along the Front Range


Abstract:

We're trying something a little different for this month...

We've invited representatives from 7 nearby optics companies, 
which demonstrate the impressive diversity of optics locally. 
They collectively represent development, manufacturing, and 
implementation of optical components and systems, with 
products ranging from ultra-precise optical flats and 
software to electro-optical medical and space instruments. 
Each of the 7 company representatives will give us a short 
overview of their company, including a brief history and 
current snapshot of the company, as well as a description of 
their innovative products. 

We have representatives from the following companies 
attending, with about 10-minute talks in the order below:

     Company                                  Representative
     -------------------------------------------------------
     CDM Optics                               Tom Cathey
     Hyperfine                                Bernard Bach
     Meadowlark Optics                        Tom Baur
     Network Photonics                        Larry Fabiny
     Research Electro-Optics                  Trey Turner
     Datex-Ohmeda Medical Systems             Silvia Mioc
     Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp.      John Figoski


The intent of this different-than-normal format is to expand 
our knowledge of local optics companies and the diversity of 
Front Range optics. And, of course, we'll have our usual 
refreshments in advance, and encourage you to chat with the 
representatives from each company.
