Each year, the SPIE Prism Awards reflect the rapidly growing trajectory, exciting latest developments, and rich technical innovations across photonics and photonics-enabled industries. This year, the annual ceremony honored a range of established and emerging companies applying innovative and creative solutions to critical problems in areas such as cameras and imaging systems, sensors, lasers, quantum technology, and biomedical optical solutions. In addition, the Society recognized its second SPIE Catalyst Award recipient, honoring a for-profit company for a specific social or environmentally focused program that has had significant positive impact, either within their workplace, on society at large, or on the environment.

Finalists and winners were selected by a panel of international judges who leveraged their knowledge and acumen from across the technology commercialization and funding sectors. The distinguished judges from nine countries included government-agency representatives, commercial business executives, academic researchers, and industry leaders. Presenters at the gala event included Luminate’s Sujatha Ramanujan, Edmund Optics’ Katie Schwertz, ETH Zurich’s Ursula Keller, NKT Photonics’ Basil Garabet, Singular Photonics’ Shahida Imani, Notal Vision’s Nishant Mohan, Ruda Optical’s Kate Medicus, Thorlabs’ Jennifer Cable, and Imperial College London’s Jessica Wade.
