Laser World of Photonics with quantum technology
The Laser World of Photonics trade fair will take place from April 26 to 29 at the Munich exhibition center. For the first time, the future topic of quantum technology will have its own stage with the parallel event "World of Quantum".
While Laser World of Photonics 2021 could not take place due to the corona pandemic – at least the accompanying scientific congress existed in digital form – this year, there will be the on-site exhibition plus the additional quantum technology event World of Quantum.
Almost 50 Percent of Participants Come from Abroad
Companies from 30 countries had registered by mid-January for Laser World of Photonics, which will focus on laser systems for industrial manufacturing as well as optoelectronics and testing technology. The USA and China are particularly well represented. This means that almost half of all exhibitors filling five halls at the Munich exhibition center come from abroad. Market leaders from the photonics sector and industry-related research institutes have also confirmed their participation, including Trumpf Laser- und Systemtechnik, Coherent Shared Services, IPG Laser, Laser Components Germany, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Laser 2000, Newport Spectra-Physics, Berlin Partner für Wirtschaft und Technologie, and Jenoptik Optical Systems.
Parallel Event: World of Quantum in its Own Hall
This year sees the premiere of the World of Quantum with its own hall, which will focus on what is currently probably the most exciting future field of photonics: quantum technology. This exhibition area is intended to link research, industry and users of this field and enable them to discuss the appropriate implementation of current research results in systems and to present initial examples of applications of this future technology in computing and cryptography, sensor technology and imaging, communication, and medicine.
