The latest innovations in photonics manufacturing were showcased on the national stage by academics from the Southampton-led Future Photonics Hub and Southampton's Silicon Photonics Group.

Leading photonics researchers from both groups organised two events at the recent premier UK photonics exhibition - SPIE Photonex and Vacuum Expo 2020 Digital Forum.

The first was an industry-focused forum entitled Advances in Resilient Photonics Manufacturing, organised by The Future Photonics Hub, which revealed the new processes and approaches in photonics manufacturing being developed by the Hub, its partners and collaborators, as well as highlighting where photonics platforms can be used to drive novel solutions to business challenges.

The Silicon Photonics Group hosted a symposium focusing on emerging applications beyond the traditional field of telecommunications.
