LS 2012 - The 13th International Symposium on the Science and Technology of Lighting (LS13)

The 13th International Symposium on the Science and Technology of Lighting (LS13) scheduled for June 24-29, 2012, in Troy, New York, hosted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Lighting Research Center, the world's leading university-based research and education organization devoted to lighting.
LS has been held regularly since 1973 and provides a unique opportunity for the worldwide community of engineers, scientists, and designers from the lighting industry, research organizations and academia to meet, present and discuss their work on light source research and development. The LS organization recently decided to modify the series name (previously called International Symposium on the Science and Technology of Light Sources) to better reflect the addition of human factors and lighting applications into the conference program.
The LS community's interests have reflected contemporary lighting technology during its nearly 40-year history and this has resulted in a growing and significant representation of solid-state lighting (SSL) technologies in its program. The conference will include a forum for scientists, engineers and designers to discuss all aspects of fundamental and applied research on thermal, discharge, and plasma technologies, as well as SSL, specifically white light emitting diodes (LEDs), in a stimulating and informed atmosphere.
