During last year's SPIE Photonics West, attendees engaged in technical conferences, live product demonstrations, industry-focused forums, and networking programs such as the SPIE Global Business Forum and the Prism Awards for innovative products.
And not to brag, the Photonics Online team outdid itself by recording 17 exclusive, live-from-the-floor interviews with industry experts, all of which are available below for your viewing pleasure.
SPIE Photonics West returns to San Francisco January 17–22, 2026, featuring more than 50 technical courses, four major exhibitions - including BiOS, Quantum West, and AR|VR|MR - and cutting-edge research spanning biomedical optics, lasers, optoelectronics, and quantum technologies. Attendees can expect an exciting week of innovation, industry networking, and a special celebration marking 20 years of Women in Optics, as well as the return of our cutting-edge showfloor coverage.
Looking for you in San Francisco in January!
