SPIE Defense + Security 2026

G&H to Showcase Optical Solutions for Aerospace & Defense Technologies at SPIE Defense + Security 2026, the premier defense conference focused on sensing technologies rapidly being acquired and deployed across public, security, and government applications.

G&H, a global leader in advanced photonics and optical solutions, will be exhibiting at SPIE Defense + Security, from April 28 - 30, 2026, at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland, US.

G&H will return to showcase advanced photonics and optical technologies supporting next-generation aerospace and defense systems. Visitors to Booth #613 will be able to explore the company’s latest developments in infrared imaging, optical communications, crystal optics, and vertically integrated photonics manufacturing.

A key highlight at this year’s event is the introduction of Garnet™, G&H’s Germanium-free MWIR lens assembly series developed by G&H | StingRay. Designed for operation across the 3–5 µm wavelength range, Garnet has been created to help system designers maintain high-performance imaging while improving long-term supply resilience for mission-critical defense and surveillance applications.

G&H will also highlight progress in establishing U.S.-based Thin-Film Lithium Niobate (TFLN) manufacturing at its Cleveland, Ohio facility. This growing domestic capability supports the development of secure, high-performance photonic systems for communications, sensing, signal processing, and next-generation defense infrastructure.

Attendees are invited to visit G&H at Booth #613 to experience its latest sensing technology and discuss how its customized solutions can meet their specific needs.
