Prism Awards für neue Produkte in der Photonikindustrie verliehen
Die branchenbezogenen Auszeichnungen würdigten Innovationen in den Bereichen Laser, Biomedizin, Quantentechnologie, Sensoren sowie Kameras und Bildgebung.
On 29 January, SPIE recognized the top-rated new optics and photonics products with the industry-focused Prism Awards. The gala evening, held during SPIE Photonics West, marked the Prism Awards’ 17th anniversary of honoring companies that are bringing transformative products to market. In addition, the society recognized its second SPIE Catalyst Award recipient, honoring a for-profit company for a specific social or environmentally focused program that has had significant positive impact, either within their workplace, on society at large, or on the environment.
The judges from nine countries included government-agency representatives, commercial business executives, academic researchers, and industry leaders. Presenters at the gala event included Luminate’s Sujatha Ramanujan, Edmund Optics’ Katie Schwertz, ETH Zurich’s Ursula Keller, NKT Photonics’ Basil Garabet, Singular Photonics’ Shahida Imani, Notal Vision’s Nishant Mohan, Ruda Optical’s Kate Medicus, Thorlabs’ Jennifer Cable, and Imperial College London’s Jessica Wade.
The award categories, the winning companies, and their winning products 2025 are:
Biomedical: Norlase, LYNX
Cameras and Imaging Systems: NIL Technology, metaEye ultracompact camera
Lasers: Scantinel Photonics, narrow linewidth hybrid-integrated laser
Optical Materials and Components: Omega Optical, DeepUV transmission gratings
Quantum Tech: Leonardo DRS (Daylight Solutions), Stretto
Sensors: FlulDect, SpheroScan Explorer
