2020 Prism Award Finalists Showcase Industry Innovations
A light that generates 10× the number of entangled photon pairs than any known photon source. A handheld Raman spectrometer with MEMS scanning mirrors. A semiconductor laser for treating glaucoma — smaller and less expensive than others on the market. These technologies are among the 27 finalists for the 2020 Prism Awards which recognize groundbreaking technology in the industry. The Prism Awards ceremony and banquet, co-sponsored by SPIE and Photonics Media, will be held during SPIE Photonics West on Feb. 5.
