The LASER World of Photonics trade fair—held biennially in Munich, Germany—has drawn more than 26,000 attendees who work in lasers and optics and hosted more than 1100 exhibitors. This year's event, which will take place June 22–25, 2015 at the Messe München site, is no different: the event's organizers expect 27,000 attendees from more than 70 countries, and will welcome more than 1180 exhibitors to showcase their newest optics and photonics products and services.

Due to its large size, the exhibition will be spread throughout five different halls, growing from four halls at the 2013 event. The following list represents our coverage of some of the products expected to be demonstrated in these halls, broken down by product category. (Each link points to the companies' hall and booth numbers, too.)
