Growth in sight at Laser,World of Photonics

Optoelectronics Report

MUNICH, GERMANY--One of the more intriguing aspects to this year’s Laser, World of Photonics exhibition and conference in Munich was the apparent sense of calm that has settled over the photonics industry. Life may not have returned to "pre-crash" norms, but gone is the borderline panic of late last year that accompanied plummeting revenues and stock-market freefall. In fact, according to many exhibitors in Munich, their customers are again talking about placing orders (instead of cancelling them) and a fairly strong consensus emerged over the week-long conference and exhibition that there’s a gradual turnaround taking place. The general expectation seems to be that that the third and fourth quarter of this year will remain flat but stable, with slow growth returning toward the end of the year and into the first quarter of 2010.
