lumens cost gradually declining and government support increasing. The LED lighting market’s development pace is accelerating and the field of penetration is largely increasing.
Frbiz.com says that LED lighting is likely to be the first alternative to halogen lamps in China. At present, halogen lamps are mainly applied in store business facilities. If replaced with LED lighting lamps, there could be a large reduction in energy consumption and electricity fees.
It is expected that during 2010-2013, China’s LED lighting market will see rapid development momentum. The street lamp LED market scale’s annual average compound growth rate will reach 38.8%, and the landscape lighting LED market scale’s annual average compound growth rate will reach 21.5%. This growth is higher than the market average compound growth rate, and the lighting industry’s rapid development will continue to drive LED product market demand.
SPIE Discussions Revolve Around Terrorism to Volcano Monitoring
Technical session highlights include conferences on military applications, recent measurements taken of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano and a roundtable discussion on Optics and Photonics for Counterterrorism and Crime Fighting.
High-energy discussions on photonics for applications from fighting crime and terrorism to monitoring volcanic eruptions marked the well- attended SPIE conferences on Security & Defence and Remote Sensing this week. More than 700 delegates and exhibitors attended the co-located conferences in the Centre de Congrès Pierre Baudis in Toulouse.
Among technical session highlights were a standing-room-only crowd for the conference on Military Applications in Hyperspectral Imaging and High Spatial Resolution Sensing, and a session on LIDAR measurements taken during the eruptions early this year of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano.
A roundtable discussion on Optics and Photonics 64

for Counterterrorism and Crime Fighting resulted in a lively debate among its international audience of technology experts.
SPIE President Ralph James and other conference attendees were welcomed by Toulouse Deputy Mayor Jean-Paul Makengo at a reception was held in the city’s 11th-century Town Hall. James presented Makengo with a tie celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first demonstration of the laser.
The sold-out exhibition opened Tuesday with a record number of companies displaying products and technologies to the conference participants.
“Local companies such as ONERA, Airbus, Thales, CNES, and EADS Astrium contribute to the Toulouse region being recognized as a leading centre of research, development and manufacturing in aerospace, defence, security and remote sensing” said Andrew Brown, SPIE Senior Director for Global Business Development.
“The record number of attendees and the energy throughout the conference indicate the value participants find in networking, exposure to new technologies and markets, and interacting with key suppliers at the exhibition,” he added.
In the Security + Defence plenary session:
Emmanuel Rosencher, Chief Scientist, ONERA, covered a wide array of photonic- related technologies developed at the French Aerospace Laboratory with applications across the electromagnetic spectrum.
Jean-Thierry Audren, European S&T Director, Sagem, provided an overview of the defence and security market including funding trends and described the role of Photonics21 in developing the Strategic Research Agenda and the recent classification of photonics as a “key enabling technology” under the European framework.
John Crow, Head of Scientific Advisors Team, UK Ministry of Defence, provided an overview of how the UK is implementing a coordinated counter- terrorism and crime-fighting science and technology strategy.
In the Remote Sensing plenary session: Pascale Ultré-Guérard, CNES, provided an in-depth
