Advancements in Photonics and Optics took centre stage at the Dutch Photonics Event. Everyone in optics and photonics enjoyed this intensive day, regardless of their field within photonics. The primary focus was on innovation, ensuring a comprehensive exploration of the latest developments. The keynote presentation set the stage: 'Putting light into practice: optical sensing technology for real-life applications'
 
The Session on BioPhotonics and Bionanophotonics covered topics like: Micro positioning, a photonic diagnostics platform, prevention of skin damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. 
Session 2 was on Imaging/Microscopy and covered these topics: Seducing Gen Z for a career in Photonics, scattered in blood vessels, Affordable quantum dot SWIR sensors, Maxwell solver for understanding light scattering. 
Session 3 was on Free-space Optical Communication. Topics: international opportunities and risks, Optical turbulence in laser satellite communication, photonics based optical satellite Communication.
The last session was on Photonics for Automotive. LiDAR on InP chip, chip-based solid-state automotive LiDAR on Silicon Photonics, Massively Parallel FMCW technology for high-volume applications.
 
This exhilarating day was filled with networking opportunities. The presentations and discussions enhanced everyone’s understanding of photonics. Several companies showcased their latest products in the photonics exhibition. Students presented their research in poster presentations. The day ended with networking with bites and drinks.
