Unlike the technical sessions, there are no “commercial content” restrictions in these presentations.
This event allows vendors to showcase new products on display at this year’s exhibit, and provides attendees with an advance glimpse of “what’s new” in thermal imaging applications.

ASC OP/TF6 AND SPIE IRMWG JOINT MEETING2:00 to 4:30 pm Location: Hilton: Holiday 1
Chair: Adam Phenis, TF6 Leader (USA)
The Infrared Materials Standards Working Group is an interac-tive network of scientists and engineers who manufacture, test, and use IR materials. The purpose of this group is to develop standards for properties of optical materials used in the infrared (IR) spectral region (nominally, wavelengths 0.7 – 20 microns). Although typical properties have been published in technical literature and have been incorporated in various databases, much of this information is decades old. Furthermore, the trend toward multispectral imaging systems for DoD applications has made the need for updated properties more acute. The proper-ties of interest encompass all optical, mechanical, thermal, and thermo-optical characteristics, but the initial primary focus is on the optical and thermo-optical properties used for the design of infrared imaging systems - most notably index of refraction, dn/dT, dispersion, attenuation coefficient, inhomogeneity, and inclusions. Some materials that transmit in the IR are also used at wavelengths outside of the IR range. Therefore, standards developed by the group may include characteristics at wave-lengths outside of this region.
The initial goals are to:
· Update the nominal values of material properties· Determine the blank-to-blank variations in the material
properties· Develop standards for wavelength bands, reference
wavelengths, and sampling and test protocols· Foster the development of cost-effective methods for
measuring material properties· Advise and assist the US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to
TC172/SC3 in developing US positions on ISO standards related to IR materials, including offering potential experts to represent the US at international meetings of TC172/SC3.

A Pathway to Creating New Products Utilizing Universities and Federal Labs
Moderator: Stephen Auvil, Sr. Vice President Technology Transfer & Commercialization, Maryland Technology Development Corp. (TEDCO)
11:30 am to 12:00 pm
Step Two: Getting a Technology to MarketSpeaker: Ron KaeseThis talk will describe the various stages of commercializing a tech-nology from a university or federal laboratory and what it takes to be successful. This includes the types of funding and other resources that are generally available and appropriate at each stage of the company’s product development. Specific examples of funding programs and other resources in Maryland will be used as examples of typical state-based resources for early-stage companies.
12:00 to 12:45 pmIndustry Panel: Commercialization StoriesModerator: Stephen AuvilA panel of entrepreneurs who are commercializing non-defense, photonics-related technologies licensed from universities or federal laboratories will share their experiences with the commercialization process. Each entrepreneur will give a brief introduction to their story followed by a question and answer session led by the mod-erator. Audience participation will be encouraged.
Panel Members:
11:00 to 11:30 amStep One: Transferring Technology from the LaboratorySpeaker: Stephen AuvilThis talk will provide companies and entrepreneurs with insight into the university/federal laboratory technology transfer pro-cess including what it is, why it is done, and what kind of oppor-tunity it represents for commercial partners and entrepreneurs. An understanding of the motivations of universities and federal laboratories and what they are seeking from commercialization partners will be discussed. The mechanisms by which industry can work with labs will be described (research agreements, CRADAs, etc.) and a discussion of the license negotiation pro-cess will be included.
