A look at the current photonics markets reveals numerous upheavals underway: Many lasers are becoming commodities, integrated solutions that take account of industrial digitization offer a way forward, and new technologies are arising. And on a regional basis, the Chinese market still demands the most attention, along with evolving global merger and acquisition trends. Meanwhile, when will quantum technologies really hit the market? All these changes and much more were discussed with the largest audience ever at the 31st annual Lasers & Photonics Marketplace Seminar.
