Photonics West 2024 — things are starting to happen now! How’s everybody feeling?

As you step into the Moscone Center, you’re not just entering a space; you are entering a realm of endless possibilities and opportunities. Over the next couple of days, you’ll be treated to a diverse and dynamic program featuring renowned speakers, interactive sessions, and networking events to ensure that your experience is both enriching and memorable.

Meanwhile, we’ve been hard at work, walking the floor and talking with those in the know, then sharing those interviews with you in this special edition of our weekly newsletter. And, if you think you missed anything be sure to check out our Photonics West page for complete coverage of the event.

Don't forget to slow down and breathe every once in a while, and have a great time!

Ultra-Narrowband Optical Filters Pushing Boundaries from the UV to the LWIR
Complete Optical Solutions from Mid-UV to LWIR Alluxa’s Engineering Team showcases how novel deposition techniques have transformed the fabrication of ultra-narrow bandpass (UNBP) filters from a low throughput, high-cost enterprise into a highly deterministic manufacturing process. The white paper highlights some latest applications of UNBP’s and demonstrates how critical filter attributes such as form factor, spatial uniformity, and spectral resolution have exceeded capability/performance thresholds of recent years. Click to read white paper.
Addressing Burning Laser Systems Questions
Gentec-EO Sales Manager Félicien Legrand addresses the two main questions customers usually have when designing, using or integrating laser systems: How do I get the most accurate, safe measurements of laser beam power, pulse energies, or beam profile, and do I integrate smart controls to have my detectors work for me?
Maximizing Capabilities And Throughput Without Compromising Quality
Dan Bukaty Jr., President of Precision Glass and Optics, provided an update on the company's latest advancements, such as repolishing services and equipment that will bring new levels of throughput to its services.
Making Advanced Augmented Reality Systems A Reality
Ansys Fellow James Pond discusses the emerging trend of combining nanoscale optics and macroscale optics to create augmented reality systems.
