Highlights from the EPIC Technology Meeting on Pho Highlights from the EPIC Technology Meeting on Photonics for Space and New Space at AIP, in Potsdam (Germany).

💡 What the meeting covered:
Space is closer than we think. Scientists and engineers from across Europe came together to talk about how light technology is changing the way we observe our planet, secure our data, and connect across continents. From satellites capturing images of Earth to networks that will make our communications impossible to intercept, photonics is quietly powering it all.

One of the most memorable moments? Watching a laser beam fired into the night sky, creating an artificial star at around 90 km altitude. It sounds like magic but it is real science. These so called laser guide stars help giant telescopes on the ground correct the blurring effect of our atmosphere in real time, the same way your eyes adjust when you step into a bright room. The result is images of space so sharp they were impossible just a few decades ago.

🚀 Why it matters:
We rely on space more than we realise. Weather forecasts, GPS, disaster alerts, secure communications. All of it depends on the kind of technology discussed at this meeting. The people in that room are building the infrastructure that the rest of the world will depend on.

🙏 Thank you to our host & supporters:
Grateful to @aip_potsdam for bringing us all together, to our silver sponsors Acktar and TOPTICA EAGLEYARD, to our bronze sponsor Materion Balzers Optics, and to PhotonHub Europe for their support.

💡 What the meeting is about: On 9 November 2026, @ 💡 What the meeting is about:
On 9 November 2026, @amsosram will host the EPIC Technology Meeting on #Photonics & #Microelectronics in Regensburg, Germany. Where we will explore how Digital Photonics merges semiconductor-based light, integrated photonics, sensors, and digital control into one unified technology field.

⚙️ Why it matters:
Light is no longer just illumination. Digitally controlled by ASICs, micro-emitter arrays transform light sources into programmable pixel matrices — becoming a carrier of data, a sensing tool, a design feature, and a computing element. With 120 years of light expertise, ams OSRAM is driving this convergence alongside EPIC's 800+ member network.

🌐 Where it's used:
LiDAR for autonomous mobility · Optical biosensing in wearables · AR/VR projection · Robotic navigation · UV-based purification · High-speed optical interconnects for AI data centers

🙏 A big thank you to BuhlerGroup for their support in making this event possible.

🔍 Who is Roger Artigas? Roger Artigas is the Presi 🔍 Who is Roger Artigas? Roger Artigas is the President and CTO of Sensofar, a company that specializes in developing optical metrology systems that use light to measure surfaces in 3D with extraordinary precision. Under his leadership, Sensofar has expanded from scientific instruments to solutions used directly in industrial manufacturing and quality control.

💡 What technology is @sensofar developing?
Sensofar develops optical measurement systems that can inspect tiny features without touching them. Their instruments combine technologies such as interferometry, confocal microscopy, and focus variation to create detailed 3D maps of surfaces.

But the company does more than build measurement heads. As Roger explains in the interview, Sensofar also provides software and development tools that allow customers to integrate these sensors into their own machines and automated production lines.

❤️Why does this matter in our daily lives?
One example mentioned by Roger is the inspection of cardiovascular stents.

A stent is a tiny mesh tube implanted inside an artery to keep blood flowing properly. Before it can be used in a patient, manufacturers must ensure that every cut, edge, and surface feature is exactly as designed. Even microscopic defects can affect performance.

Sensofar's optical metrology systems help manufacturers inspect these devices quickly and accurately, contributing to safer medical treatments for millions of people.

✨ This is why photonics is everywhere.

Most people will never see a metrology system, but they may benefit from one during a heart procedure. The same photonic technologies that inspect stents are also used to manufacture semiconductors, medical devices or consumer electronics.
