G10: Energy-efficient lighting and power devices: Materials, technologies, and applications
Lighting consumes about 20% of electricity used in the United States, so it is not surprising that energyefficient technologies are a current hot topic to reduce electricity usage. This symposium provides an overview of the main technologies used to produce energy-efficient lighting and power devices. Experts in materials science and devices in the fields of lightemitting diodes, lasers, and compact fluorescent lights are invited to participate.
Proposed session topics:
• Semiconductor materials for light-emitting diodes and power devices
• Laser and nonlinear optical materials
• Compact fluorescent lighting technology
• Street lighting and display applications
Organizers:
– Gisele Maxwell, Shasta Crystals Inc., USA
– Kiyoshi Shimamura, National Institute for Materials Science, Japan
– Tatsuo Fujimoto, Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal Corp., Japan
– Anja Mudring, Iowa State University, USA
– Gregory Miller, Dolby Laboratories, USA
