TO YOUR EVENT
ENEA is the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic
Development.
On September 26th, 2014, the European Night of Researchers will take place, the big event
supported by the European Community which brings science and researchers among people.
In this framework, the ENEA Casaccia Research Center will open doors to the public, with 4
thematic tours around the laboratories, some educational seminars and other recreational
activities. One of the seminars will show some applications of PHOTONICS in everyday life.
26th September 2014, 18:30 – 24:00

ROFIN is participating in DAY OF PHOTONICS. We will organize an Asian Sales
Meeting in Singapore in October. At this meeting we will discuss the trends of
laser technology and will throw light on innovative applications in different
industrial sectors.
CO2 lasers, solid-state lasers, fiber lasers, ultrashort pulse lasers or diode lasers,
the ROFIN Group provides the entire spectrum of industrial lasers for laser
cutting, laser welding, laser marking or laser surface treatment. Our product
portfolio includes the full power spectrum, from single-digit watts right up to
multi-kilowatts.

The purpose of the event is to promote Photonics and Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) towards the regions, MEPs
and EC representatives, and other sectorial associations. We expect 100 representatives mainly from regional
authorities in Europe, through concrete cases studies (for instance Wales, North Finland, Brittany ), through a facts
based presentation on KETs, we will inform on the potential and opportunity for the regions in Europe to consider
Photonics in their smart specialization strategy, and generally support Photonics related technologies and markets.
21 October 2014 from 10:00-13:00
Wales House, Rond-Point Schuman 11, Brussels, Belgium

Mis on fotoonika päev? Mis on fotoonika?
Fotoonika päeva tähistatakse Eestis 2014. aastal esmakordselt nii kohalikes ettevõtetes kui teadusasutustes ning
Eesti kõige suurem üritus toimub sel aastal uues Physicumi hoones Tartus. Fotoonika hõlmab laiemas tähenduses
kõiki tegevusalasid, kus footoneid ehk valgust kiiratakse, neelatakse või manipuleeritakse: alates LED ja lasertehnoloogiatest kuni CCD-detektorite, päikesepaneelide, sensorite ja optiliste kiududeni.
Miks seda tähistatakse?
Euroopa Liit on fotoonika välja toonud kui ühe võtmetähtsusega tulevikutehnoloogia, mis peaks lähitulevikus
majanduskasvu vedama ja elu-olu mõjutama pea sama palju kui praegu elektroonika. Selle tehnoloogia ja teadusharu tutvustamiseks korraldatakse Euroopa Fotoonikatööstuse Klastri (EPIC) eestvõttel üle kogu Euroopa ja
mitmel pool mujal maailmas 21. oktoobril fotoonika päeva (vt day-of-photonics.org).
21. oktoober on päeva tähistamiseks välja valitud, kuna sel päeval 1983. aastal defineeriti lõplikult valguse
kiiruseks 299792458 m/s, mis on nüüdseks koos sekundi definitsiooniga pikkusmõõtude absoluutseks etaloniks.
Kellele see üritus on suunatud?
Kuulama ja vaatama on oodatud kõik, kes on huvitatud fotoonikast, optikast või uue Physicumis avanevatest
koostöö võimalustest. Kindlasti pole huvilistel, professionaalidel ja tulevikutegijatele jäänud märkamata, et 2014.
aastal on nii füüsika kui keemia Nobeli preemiad olnud seotud otseselt fotoonikaga. Osalemiseks palume
registreerida end 20. oktoobriks veebilehel fi.ut.ee oleva lingi kaudu.
Toimumise koht:
Physicumi suured auditooriumid – Tartu Ülikooli Füüsika Instituut, Ravila 14c, Tartu.
Uus Physicum on omaette vaatamist väärt ning enamus sealsetest laboritest ja
töögruppidest on vähemal või rohkemal määral fotoonikaga seotud ning nende
seadmed, võimekused ja uurimissuunad väärivad ülevaatamist.
Toimumise aeg:
21. oktoober 2014, kell 12:30 – 17:00.
Ajakava:
12:30 Tervitussõnad. TÜ teadusprorektor Marco Kirm.
12:40 Teadusteater valguse teemadel. Füüsik Koit Timpmann.
14:00 Fotoonika Füüsika Instituudis. Instituudi direktor professor Jaak Kikas.
14:30 Optika 21. sajandil. Akadeemik Peeter Saari.
15:15 Eesti ja Baltikumi fotoonikatööstus. Tööstusekspert Ott Rebane.
15:45 – 17:00 Ringkäik uues Physicumis. Eelkokkulepetega kohtumised laborite ja ettevõtete esindajate vahel.*
* Ettevõtete esindajad, kes sooviksid TÜ FI laboritega eraldi kohtumist, peaksid sellest eelnevalt
teada andma ott.rebane@ut.ee.
The VTT sites in Espoo, Oulu and Kuopio, with the support of companies and universities will
participate in the organization of DAY OF PHOTONICS.
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is a non-profit government organisation operating
under the auspices of the Finnish Ministry of Employment and Economy. In photonics, VTT's
technology offering covers the whole value-chain from devices to modules and systems. VTT
aims towards developing wafer-level, sheet-level and large-area packaging and integration
technologies by combining mature processes with novel fabrication methods. VTT's strength is
in system level integration. Applications include optical and electrical sensors, photonic and
electronic components and modules, large-area electronics and optical sensors and
instruments for process control. www.vtt.fi
