This blog is mainly for lasers and things related to research but in this entry i would like to comment
some other uses of light and lasers.
Watching light itself is appealing and it is part of the art. In the FastLight festival in the framework of the
150 years of MIT you can see a great example of mixture between science, technology and art.
This is the link --> http://arts.mit.edu/fast/fast-light/
Enjoy with the light.

Shaking test for a laser...
If you work with homebuild lasers then this video looks quite crazy... It shows a shaking test with a femtosecond laser.
The video was made by Femtolasers Produktions GmbH with one of their turn key laser-systems (Integral).
There is even a more impressive video by Toptica, where they have left falling a laser onto the floor (if i remember correctly) but unfortunately I havent found it yet on the internet nor their homepage. If you have it, please post it!

Attosecond laser - the world's fastest laser
By chance I found this video over an attosecond laser at the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) in the group of Prof. Dr. Ferenc Krausz (www.attoworld.de). The video is on public level and nice to watch.
Additional information you can find in the press release (click) or at Attoworld.
Enjoy!
btw... did you found the mistake in the video? Everyone has once a bad day ;)

IONS stands for International OSA Networks of Students and has the aim to connect you with young researchers in optics and photonics. Therefore there is no special conference topic but you can present your results and research to young scientists. Discuss, and get informed about the projects of other young scientists. More about the IONS, what they do and where the next IONS will be held you can find out here.
The next IONS in europe will be held in Salamanca, Spain, from the 7. - 9. April 2011 and is organized by the OSAL student chapter. Registration is free and open until the 25. february.

Optics & Photonics Focus
It is time to know this page, in case you have overlooked it like me.
It is a magazine (sponsored by EPS and OSA) presenting recent interesting and important developments in the fields of optics and photonics. The topic selection over the last years is well done and you will find many interesting articles respecively reviews. They have a nice length to read and are not too specific written, accessible for a wide range of readers. Have a look at the archive

All articles are online available. Take time for an overview, and perhaps you even have a suggestion for them what to present next!
