Applied Industrial Spectroscopy (AIS)
Applied Industrial Spectroscopy (AIS) explores the use of spectroscopy and spectral sensing to provide actionable information to industry. AIS is focused on optics and photonic solutions to current industrial challenges like climate change, environmental pollution, food safety and quality, precision farming, wastewater analysis and public health. Spectroscopic tools integral to solving these challenges include both established methods such as Raman, LIBS, FTIR, THz spectroscopy, UV-VIS-NIR-IR spectroscopy, and lidar as well as new, cutting-edge technologies in transition from development to industry. Research into the advancement of these tools in industrial settings is encouraged, including the bringing of new spectroscopic tools to market. The fusion of multiple methods with machine learning and advanced calibration methods is also of interest.

Industry Programs
These sessions focus on opportunities for commercialization of emerging technologies and understanding the commercial market’s view of imaging optics.
Transformation is the opposite of business as usual. It requires an update to business practices and an enhanced mix of industry and academia. More output from industry is needed within a shorter time, and more input by basic research is necessary as well.
Background
Industry programs will focus on news, challenges, applications, opportunities and scalability in emerging technologies on a system or component level. The program is comprised of:
- Three industry sessions (one held in conjunction with the Optica Imaging Congress). The sessions include panel discussions and a “News Flash” 5/5 format with five-minute talks followed by five-minute discussion.
- Free online content made available each day of the congress: a mix of short interviews, discussions and poster pitches.
The value of industry programs rests upon interaction and discussion. Presentations are brief and to the point so that more session time is reserved for engagement with speakers and other session attendees.
Objectives
The goal of the industry programs is to pave the road toward substantial future growth. There is great momentum in the optical sensing industry since pilot projects like infrared skin moisture measurement have become more accessible and adopted. This momentum should continue to grow and make optical sensing a preferred career path.
