NASHUA, N.H., 6 Feb. 2008. PennWell, publishers of Military & Aerospace Electronics, Laser Focus World, and several other influential Websites, is introducing OptoIQ, a Web portal that gathers electro-optics news, features, and products into one easy-to-view Website.

OptoIQ, located at www.optoiq.com, organizes electro-optics information not only by technology, but also by application topics -- including military and aerospace electro-optics applications like military infrared sensors, laser weapons, optical communications, optical warfare, and advanced lenses.

Information is available in formats ranging from text and white papers, to Webcasts, podcasts, video, and even online virtual trade shows.

Designed with electro-optics engineers, engineering managers, scientists, students, and educators in mind, the site offers one of the largest breadths of information available on electro-optics, optoelectronics, and photonics technologies and applications.

OptoIQ offers trusted, unbiased, and timely dispatches, commentary, white papers, video, research, user communities, and job postings; deep editorial expertise on relevant photonics applications and technologies; and a community of industry professionals.

OptoIQ gathers information from 11 PennWell magazines and Websites: Military & Aerospace Electronics, Laser Focus World, Connector Specifier, Industrial Laser Solutions, LEDs Magazine, Cabling Installation & Maintenance, Lightwave, Small Times, Vision Systems Design, Photovoltaics World, and BioOptics World.

OptoIQ means business, but it's not all work; there's fun, too. Catch your breath by taking the Optics IQ Test to enhance your OptoIQ, or kick back with colleagues in the online Q-Munity to network, share common problems, and find out what others in our industry have experienced when confronting challenges in technology, applications, and business.
