Celebrating the United Nations International Year of Glass

In 2021, the United Nations announced that 2022 will be celebrated as the International Year of Glass, with the goal of raising awareness about glass’ scientific, economic, and cultural importance. The optics and photonics industries certainly have plenty to brag about when it comes to uses of this versatile material.

Recognizing this, we at Laser Focus World would like to join in the celebration by highlighting some glass-use achievements we’ve covered this past year—click through each image above for our picks.
