With high-tech businesses still suffering an overcorrection in the computer and communications markets, many are wondering what the future holds for the semiconductor equipment industry. Dan Tracy, senior market analyst at SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International; Mountain View, CA), will shed some light on the subject in his keynote address, �Semiconductor Capital Equipment Trends and Outlook,� at the 2002 Laser and Optoelectronics Marketplace seminar in January.
Hosted by Laser Focus World and Strategies Unlimited (Mountain View, CA), the marketplace seminar provides business leaders, investors, and technology analysts with a close look at the laser and optoelectronics industries and where each market segment is headed. Presentations at the 2002 seminar will include Laser Focus World's annual review of global laser markets, including semiconductor lasers; a close look at the state of the industrial laser marketplace; and analyses of other key markets, including telecommunications and medical applications.
Highlights of this session include a review of market trends and product evolution of tunable laser diodes for optical communications by Tom Hausken, senior analyst of optical communications at Strategies Unlimited; and an overview of recent developments in the worldwide fiberoptic communications infrastructure by Richard Mack, VP and general manager of market research firm KMI (Newport, RI).
The seminar will take place Monday, January 21, 2002, during the Photonics West meeting in San Jose, CA. For more information, contact the Registration Coordinator, phone 603-891-9267, fax 603-891-9490, email: [email protected].
