WORLDWIDE LINKS PAGE

This website is not being actively maintained -- see note on homepage.


Solid-state lighting science, news, information, and educational resources are now well covered by resources on the Internet.  Here, we provide a list of links in these broad categories.

·   Most focused SSL websites – those targeted specifically at solid-state lighting

·   Online magazines and information resources include websites carrying related news, reports, scientific literature and other information

·   Professional societies, such as IEEE, that provide journals covering related scientific work and conferences that may include solid-state lighting

·   Non-profit organizations

·   National and international laboratories

·   National and international agencies

·   Other sites of interest

Note:  For the most part, we don't provide links to specific universities and companies working in SSL, as these are changing very rapidly. However, the Materials Research Society maintains a useful list of university organizations, and a number of websites, e.g., Solid State Lighting Net and LEDmarketplace.com, provide coverage of companies.

For information on conferences, see the Conferences page on this website.
