Welcome to LaserFest 2010!

Watching your favorite movie on DVD. Surfing the web. Scanning barcodes at the grocery store. For the past 50 years, lasers have revolutionized the way we live. This milestone marks one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century! Through a series of events and programs, LaserFest will help to showcase the prominence of the laser in today's world.

LaserFest on the Road Outreach Program: Request for Proposals

Several grants of up to $10,000 will be awarded during LaserFest, a yearlong celebration of the 50th anniversary of the laser in 2010. This program is designed to encourage individuals to undertake physics outreach initiatives in their own communities and institutions during 2010.
