Let's celebrate a day of photonics

Oct. 21, 2021
It's time to bring public awareness to all the photonics contributions constantly improving our daily lives.

Photonics has impacted almost every industry. And it continues to do so with dedicated scientists and engineers creating new innovations and finding creative new applications for existing technologies. 

However, considering the valuable role the field of photonics ultimately plays in our everyday lives, it might be one of the world's best kept secrets.

The annual Day of Photonics hopes to increase public understanding, and generate excitement around what future evolutions could mean to society. Check out the slideshow to see some of the most recent innovations we have covered at Laser Focus World.
