The photonics industry continues being in the ascendant at the leading trade fair in San Francisco with a marked increase in visitor and exhibitor numbers compared with 2011. Jenoptik reported significant demand from clients, particularly for lasers and laser systems for industrial and medical fields as well as for integrated optical solutions.
The Jenoptik Lasers & Material Processing and Optical
Systems divisions presented numerous innovations and their
product portfolio at the leading trade fair for the
photonics sector in 2012. The SPIE Photonics West at the
end of January 2012 was attended by more than 20,000 trade
visitors, an increase of approx. 5 percent over the
previous year. There was a similar rise in the number of
exhibitors; this led to a sell-out of the exhibition space.
"The success of the trade fair overall demonstrated that
the photonics industry is continuing on a path of growth
and is becoming increasingly important as a driving force
for innovation in numerous sectors such as electronics,
medical technology, the automotive or defense industries.
We are looking ahead to the new fiscal year with
confidence", said Dr. Michael Mertin, Chairman of the
JENOPTIK AG Executive Board.
Jenoptik's motto at the trade fair was "Sharing Excellence
in Lasers & Optics". Projects were redeveloped and advanced
with clients at numerous specific meetings. Many of the
visitors to the Jenoptik booth obtained information about
the products and services along the value-added chain for
laser beam sources and about the optical expertise in the
field of conventional optics, micro-optics and
optoelectronics. The visitors were particularly interested
in products such as the 1 kW JenLas® fiber cw 1000 fiber
laser, the JenLas® D2.mini 5/8W compact green disc laser,
the expanded series of F-Theta lenses for high-power lasers
in the multi-kW range as well as the compact imaging
modules.
The biophotonics trade fair BiOS EXPO, which preceded
Photonics West, also reported a significant figure rise in
visitor numbers. Jenoptik used the trade fair to present
its range of services for medical technology and life
science, one of Jenoptik's growth markets. Visitors and the
media showed a great deal of interest in the SPIE Start-up
Challenges at which young entrepreneurs presented their
business ideas from the areas of biophotonics and
optoelectronics. The SPIE Fellows Jay Kumler, who is
responsible for the US activities of Optical Systems, and
Dr. Marc Himel, Business Development Manager for
micro-optics, made their expertise as industry experts
available to the teams. Jenoptik supported the
entrepreneurship event by providing sponsorship for the
winning teams.
On Wednesday this week Jenoptik will be announcing the
provisional figures for the fiscal year 2011 together with
an initial outlook for the current fiscal year. On
Wednesday evening Jenoptik will be holding its traditional
New Year's reception at the Group headquarters in Jena.
Around 650 invited guests are expected to attend the event.
