Join us for an exclusive look at the shortlisted entries for this year’s Photonics Frontiers Award 2025.
 

In this exclusive webcast - the first in a series of three - we take a look at the entrants and their applications who have made it to the ‘semi-finals’ of this showcase of the most innovative projects that use photonics to solve problems across the most popular industry sectors. 

Where The Photonics100 celebrates people, The Photonics Frontiers Award celebrates the application of photonics.

Now that our independent judges have made their decision, we hear from the shortlisted applications in the fields of biophotonics, healthcare and laser technologies.


Discover the entries which made the cut
 


A compact high-energy laser for space rocket engine ignition
 

Simultaneous eye-safe spectroscopy
 


Hear about these innovative applications, and others, ahead of the overall winner being announced at this year’s Laser World of Photonics.


Moderating the webcast will be Europa Science CEO Warren Clark, and joining the applicants will also be a speaker from biotech innovator Lumencor.
