Year 2021

Today, data is the lifeblood disrupting many industries. The vast majority of this data is stored in the form of non-volatile magnetic bits in hard disk drives. This technology was developed more than half a century ago and has reached fundamental scaling limits that prevent further increases in storage capacity. New approaches are needed.

What technologies will enable next-generation medical wearables? What challenges do we face? These and other key questions will drive the discussion at this year's Medical Wearables digital conference, which will be held December 7-9, 2021.

Photonix Japan is an international laser and photonics exhibition consisting of three different exhibitions focusing on laser processing, optics and optical metrology/analytics. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID 19 situation, we will not be at the show in 2021. We look forward to seeing you again in 2022 in Tokyo.

SPIE Photonics West is the leading event on the U.S. West Coast for lasers, photonics and biomedical optics. It covers a wide range of topics: Industrial Lasers, Optoelectronics, Microfabrication, MOEMS-MEMS, Displays and more. Here you will find the latest components, devices and systems for your research or business needs. Fraunhofer IPMS will of course be on site to present its latest developments. You can also expect expert presentations from our scientists.
