With three cutting-edge technical areas of focus and 5,200 presentations, Photonics West, which took place last week, had something to offer for every one of the more than 22,000 people in attendance. In addition to the many presentations, Photonics West also offered two exhibitions, as well as training and education courses, not to mention the many opportunities to network with others in the industry. We are honored to be part of such an extraordinary event.

It was another great experience at Photonics West, thanks in part to our Zemax team and to those in attendance! During the conference, we not only met many great attendees who stopped by our booth, but also those who participated in our sessions and product demos.

This year, in addition to our Zemax booth, we had members of our team present in multiple sessions, host a product demo and teach a workshop.
