Photonic developments on the Mid-IR region have demonstrated high potential for gas sensing and spectroscopy, MWIR imaging for industrial manufacturing, space communications and defense. Moreover, semiconductor lasers in these wavelengths (ICL and QCL) allow the development of miniaturized sensors, that can meet exciting and advanced applications in the medical, automotive, industrial and environmental markets, being the lack of large-volume production capabilities the main challenge. In this meeting, the key players in the Mid-IR ecosystem will discuss about a potential application roadmap for Mid-IR photonics deciphering the collaborations needed and the applications that will allow the manufacturing of large-volume Mid-IR components and systems
