Photonics West is an annual international conference and exhibition organized by SPIE that focuses on advances in optics, photonics, and laser technologies. The event brings together researchers, engineers, and manufacturers to present technical papers, demonstrate components such as photodiodes and detectors, and discuss applications in sensing, imaging, communications, and biomedical systems. It serves as a platform for knowledge exchange and industry collaboration.
We had fantastic conversations at Photonics West 2026, including data communications, satellite alignment, accelerated prototyping, and spectroscopy applications. See how engineers are solving real optical system challenges with practical photodetector solutions.
