Print
Photonics emerges stronger from the pandemic, proving its robustness and resilience against market disruptions.
In this article, we explore the demand for photonics-based solutions across sectors, applications and pain-points, and set out industry needs for photonic components to address the challenges customers face today.
The June 2021 edition of G&H Insight explores how laser technology and photonics supported industry resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Growing demand for digital communications, semiconductor manufacturing and advanced medical technologies created opportunities across the photonics sector. The report examines the applications driving this demand and the optical component capabilities needed to support them.
In industrial manufacturing, the focus is on greater precision, faster processing and reliable performance in applications including semiconductor fabrication, printed circuit board drilling and display production. These requirements place increasing demands on low-loss optics, optical switches and beam deflectors. Meanwhile, expanding data centers, 5G infrastructure and subsea networks highlight the importance of fiber optic components that support higher communication speeds, greater capacity and improved power efficiency.
The report also explores photonics in aerospace and defense, life sciences and space communications, from robust navigation and imaging systems to rapid diagnostics and laser links between satellites. Across these applications, component reliability, miniaturization and close alignment with system requirements are central themes. Read the full June 2021 Insight below for G&H’s perspective on these market developments and engineering challenges
