These companies have chosen to attend Photonics West as the show has become the largest exhibition on optics, lasers, biomedical optics, optoelectronic components and imaging technologies in North America.
French innovation in optics dates back to the seventeenth century.
In 1895, the Lumiere brothers held the first public motion picture screening in the city of Lyon, and after World War II, Alfred Kastler and Jean Brossel developed optical pumping, an essential stage in the invention of the laser.
