Late-stage optical issues can compromise system performance and delay mission timelines. Integrated optical-to-system workflows expose stray light, tolerancing, and environmental risks early, giving systems engineers predictive visibility to reduce iterations, validate designs sooner, and make confident design decisions before committing to hardware.

BiOS at SPIE Photonics West, 30 January–4 February 2027 is the industry’s most important biomedical optics, imaging, and biophotonics conference. The event is comprehensive and international, with conference topics that feature clinical, translational, and fundamental R&D. It is the premier technical forum for reporting on and learning about the latest research and development, as well as for launching new applications and technologies.
