We are proud to have joined 24,000 optics and photonics professionals from more than 75 countries at this year’s SPIE Photonics West 2025. It was an excellent show highlighting new research, industry trends, and many technical presentations. Our own Kevin Sweeney celebrated achievements in metrology in his featured lecture “The measurement of object distance for projected virtual objects using a scanning pentaprism and digital alignment telescope.”
The highlight for our team was meeting many technical experts at our booth. It was an opportunity the discuss design ideas for their projects as well as introduce new testing and manufacturing capabilities available at our facility in Wakefield, MA. In talking with the organizers of the event, Optikos Director of Operations Dennis Fantone highlighted, “We started out very fast, very busy right off the jump. It’s been really exciting connecting with old colleagues and friends that hadn’t been to the show before or hadn’t been in a few years. And this is also a great place to meet up not just with customers but with vendors as well; It’s great to get the personal touch that you just don’t have over email and phone.”
While we showcased a variety of products and services at the exhibition, the ColliMeter™ was a fan favorite and drew attention especially from those who attended Sweeney’s presentation earlier in the week. Visitors were excited to see how easy this system makes it to measure collimation and conjugate distance of their target projectors.
