‘This allowed us to present the latest scientific research in optics, photonics, laser and atomic physics.’

In addition to sponsoring the event, Maptek donated the time and equipment for two staff to attend and conduct a 3D scan of the group using the I-Site 8820 laser scanner.

IONS-KOALA is the only student conference in Australia to focus on the fields of quantum optics, atom optics, photonics and laser technology.
