An Art-Science Photonics Exhibition

Extraordinary Light Expo artwork Each time we gather at this event we are offered a new way to see and experience light. This year we explore the different aspects of light polarization: a collaboration between artists, scientists, and universities. Download the PDF for details — and enjoy the show!
