At a ceremony at Photonics West on Jan. 26, SPIE and Photonics Media announced the winners of the 2022 Prism Awards. The 14th annual event celebrated photonics innovation in 10 categories. A software solution that helps to analyze the impact of structural and thermal loads on optical designs, a fully wavelength-tunable frequency conversion system usable in the 700-nm to 20-µm spectral range, and a 3D sensing solution, comprising a lidar device with beam steering technology, scan modes, and a reference system design, were among the award-winning technologies.
