GPD Optoelectronics will exhibit at the SPIE BIOS Expo 2027, January 30-31, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, as part of the SPIE Photonics West Expo, January 30 to February 4th. Visit us at Booth #8233.

BiOS Expo is the world’s largest biomedical optics and biophotonics exhibition. Held Saturday and Sunday, it kicks off the full Photonics West week. Researchers, scientists, engineers, clinicians, and industry professionals gather to see the latest technologies supporting biomedical research and healthcare.

The show floor covers biomedical optics components, instrumentation, lasers, molecular imaging, diagnostics, therapeutics, biosensors, and nano/biophotonics detectors. Photonics detection sits at the heart of many of these applications. From optical coherence tomography to spectroscopy to medical sensing, system performance depends on reliable, well-matched photodetectors. Our team looks forward to discussing application requirements with engineers and system designers.

Stop by Booth #8233 to talk through your next design.

Photodiode Solutions for Power Monitoring, Beam Alignment, and Spectroscopy

Optical Power Monitoring and Fiber-Based Instrumentation

Many biomedical systems rely on fiber delivery along with precise optical power measurement. We look forward to discussing how 10 mm germanium detectors support fiber testing, along with how 1 mm InGaAs photodiodes enable accurate optical power monitoring in laser-based medical and life science instruments. Balancing sensitivity, response speed, and noise performance is critical when measurements affect diagnostic accuracy and patient safety.

Beam Alignment and Position Sensing

Imaging systems, surgical lasers, and microscopy platforms all demand precise beam alignment. Our Quad and Octo position-sensitive detectors help engineers improve alignment and tracking accuracy, supporting stable optical paths in compact, high-precision instruments.

Accelerating Time to Market

Biomedical device teams face pressure to move from concept to validated prototype quickly. Our MCPR photodetector development kit helps engineers accelerate prototyping and validate designs faster without compromising performance expectations.

Spectroscopy and Multi-Wavelength Detection

Spectroscopy plays a central role in biomedical research, diagnostics, and tissue analysis. Two-color photodiodes enable simultaneous detection across two wavelengths while keeping system designs compact. We look forward to exploring how this approach supports consistent performance in analytical and sensing applications.

Connecting with Engineers Building Life Science Systems

One of the most valuable aspects of BiOS Expo is the opportunity to exchange practical insights with engineers developing medical, diagnostic, and research instruments. These conversations help shape how optical components are selected, packaged, and integrated to meet real operating conditions.

At GPD, we value the chance to collaborate directly with teams solving complex optical challenges. Higher sensitivity, improved alignment accuracy, faster prototyping, and optimized system architecture are all topics we’re ready to dig into.
