It can take a village to bring a medical photonics device to market, Benjamin Skuse discovers
New analysis shows that photonics is one of the most resilient and fast-growing industries in Europe
Photonics21 has released a position statement saying the European photonics sector is ready to invest €100 billion in R&I if a photonics public-private partnership is launched for Horizon Europe funding
More than 300 key stakeholders were present at Photonics21’s AGM, where speakers from the European Commission discussed how to advance digital development across Europe
The global photonics sector has the potential to create one million new jobs by 2030, a new vision paper published by European Technology Platform Photonics21 has predicted
Aldo Kamper, president of Photonics21, discusses how Europe is to translate its current competencies into future leadership in a fast-growing global market
A wideband sensor able to measure toxic gasses at speeds of 120km/h and heights of 4,000 metres has been developed by European researchers
At this years’ Photonics Public Private Partnership (PPP) annual meeting, speakers discussed the organisation’s continued growth and its current placement to be able to fulfil investment pledges ahead of Horizon 2020
The European Union is investing €15.5 million into the world’s first open access photonic integrated circuit assembly and packaging pilot line, it was announced at the Photonics21 annual general meeting

As microscopes become ever more powerful, a growing band of businesses are racing to make the latest technologies more accessible and more affordable, reports Rebecca Pool
Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
