"In rising to the top of an impressive field of finalists, the 2019 award-winning products and the companies behind them are taking the photonics industry to new heights," said Thomas Laurin, president and CEO of Photonics Media and Laurin Publishing Inc. “Photonics Media is proud to stand with SPIE in supporting breakthroughs such as these, which continue to transform the photonics industry and the world."

Thirty companies vied for top prizes in areas ranging from detectors and sensors to vision technology, but only 10 were recognized at center stage. Jointly sponsored by SPIE and Photonics Media, the annual event recognizes the best of the best from all fields of the industry.

“Across various areas critical to our daily lives, these engineers and inventors are building, creating, and innovating products that will improve fields such as health care, transportation, consumer safety, and scientific research,” said SPIE CEO Kent Rochford. “The mission of SPIE, [which is] to partner with researchers, educators, and industry to advance light-based research and technologies for the betterment of the human condition, finds one of its most concrete embodiments in this industry-focused event. I’m delighted to celebrate our Prism Awards for Photonic Innovation.”
