In 2025, along with the regular slate of awards in areas ranging
from healthcare and sensing, to lasers and quantum, SPIE will once
again showcase the SPIE Catalyst Award. Now in its second year, the
Catalyst Award honors for-profit companies with specific social or
environmentally focused programs that have had significant positive
impact, either within their workplace, on society at large, or on
the environment. The inaugural winner of the SPIE Catalyst Award
last year was Intel Corporation, for their workforce-training
program.
“The SPIE Prism Awards highlight the best and most innovative
optics and photonics technologies on the market,” said SPIE CEO
Kent Rochford. “It takes significant efforts to bring these
transformative products to market, efforts that we are proud to
celebrate every year. I invite companies with a new photonic
product to honor the team’s hard work and submit an application for
consideration, showcasing their exciting light-enabled
accomplishments.”
Last year’s Prism Award winners — across categories such as
AR/VR/MR, autonomy, biomedical, cameras and imaging, lasers,
quantum tech, sensors, software, and test and measurement — were
Porotech, ANELLO Photonics, JenLab GmbH, Thorlabs, Inc., EKSPLA,
Qunnect, Scantinel Photonics GmbH, Frenel Imaging, and Persistence
Data Mining. Winners from previous years have included newly
emerging companies or startups such as Double Helix Optics,
PhotoniCare, Luminar, Blackmore, and WaveOptics, as well as more
established industry giants like General Electric, IPG Photonics,
Edmund Optics, and Leica.
The deadline for applications is 13 September. For more
information, qualification requirements, and to submit your product
