Photonics and Laser Technology Blogs – Where Are They?

I heard of someone who wanted to write an article which would make readers aware of interesting blogs in areas like photonics, laser technology, nonlinear and fiber optics, but postponed that – guess why! – because she couldn't find sufficiently many blogs which are interesting and active. This prompted me to do a search myself, and I found that indeed it is quite difficult to find any such blogs in the mentioned topical areas which meet certain quality standards. In some blog directories, you even stumble across a lot of spam.
So maybe my readers know some good pages? Suggestions will be welcome (via e-mail or the contact form), and will (as far as they look convincing) be published at this place later on.
This article is a posting of the Photonics Spotlight, authored by Dr. Rüdiger Paschotta. You may link to this page, because its location is permanent. See also the Encyclopedia of Laser Physics and Technology.
The Encyclopedia of Laser Physics and Technology is also available in the form of a two-volume book. Maybe you would enjoy reading it also in that form! The print version has a carefully designed layout and can be considered a must-have for any institute library, laser research group, or laser company.
You may order the print version via Wiley-VCH.
