Capturing airborne pathogens, breath tests for lung cancer

Washington, DC, May 29, 2003

When scientists invented the laser over forty years ago, no one imagined that it would revolutionize entertainment (CD/DVD players), communications (fiber optics), medicine (laser surgery) and even grocery shopping (barcode scanners). The laser's inventiveness shows no signs of letting up, as researchers have developed powerful new uses for the versatile device in homeland security and medical diagnosis. Next week in Baltimore, researchers will present some of these exciting new developments at a press luncheon to take place during the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics and the Quantum Electronics and Laser Science Conference (CLEO/QELS), a leading forum showcasing cutting-edge advancements in lasers and related fields.

The news luncheon will convene Tuesday, June 3 from 12 PM to 2 PM in Room 332 of the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, MD. Reporters wishing to attend should fill out the reply form at the end of this release or contact Colleen Morrison (202-416-1437, cmorri@osa.org).

The meeting pressroom will be located in room 330 of the convention center from June 1 through June 5. At the pressroom, reporters can obtain a registration badge granting complimentary admission to all meeting sessions, talks, and exhibits. Those interested in obtaining a badge should fill out the reply form at the end of this release.
