CLASS ACT: 2018 Prism Award winners in the Lasers category, Class 5 Photonics

BELLINGHAM. Wash. (PRWEB) December 04, 2018 -- Established industry stalwarts will compete with disruptive startups at the Prism Awards ceremony and banquet during SPIE Photonics West 2019 in San Francisco. The awards ceremony, now celebrating its 11th year, recognizes industrial innovation in photonics in multiple categories. For the consideration of the 2019 Prism Awards, SPIE received 120 applications from 15 countries.

“This year’s Prism finalists represent the savviest and most innovative companies from the growing optics and photonics industry,” said SPIE CEO Kent Rochford.

Newer companies such as RedShiftBioAnalytics, aJile Systems, and Double Helix Optics – a 2016 SPIE Startup Challenge champion and recent winner of Luminate’s accelerator program and $1 million prize – will share the distinction of being finalists alongside photonics giants such as Nikon, Trumpf, Leica, and Hamamatsu. With two new categories – Transportation and Vision Technologies – added to the award-lineup, the Prism Awards continue to reflect the rich growth, exciting developments, and technical innovation in optics and photonics.

“This year’s Prism finalists represent the savviest and most innovative companies from the growing optics and photonics industry,” said SPIE CEO Kent Rochford. “Bringing a product to market is a huge achievement, and we applaud all the applicants for the many years of research and development necessary to create a sellable technology. The benefits that photonics provides to society are more critical than ever, and the products showcased by the Prism Awards mark an exciting glimpse into the high-level and wide-ranging accomplishments in the field. I look forward to hearing the winners announced at Photonics West.”

“Photonics Media is once again exceedingly proud to join in presenting the international competition that has become the benchmark for innovation in photonics around the globe,” said Thomas Laurin, president and CEO of Laurin Publishing. “For more than a decade now, the Prism Awards have recognized the people and companies that are driving the remarkable pace of product innovation and technology application in our burgeoning field.”
