Photonics West 2026 is one of the world’s largest and most important annual conferences and exhibitions dedicated to photonics, lasers, and biomedical optics, hosted by SPIE in San Francisco. The event brings together researchers, engineers, and industry leaders to present cutting-edge developments in optical technologies and explore new applications across defense, healthcare, communications, and manufacturing. GPD participates in Photonics West to showcase its latest photodetector innovations, connect with customers and partners, and stay current with emerging trends shaping the future of optical sensing and detection.
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.
