On demand: Opportunities for Photonics in the Space Sector
Webcast supported by
Now available on-demand this webcast discussed ongoing and emerging opportunities for photonics in the space sector.
Our speakers explored new and emerging applications served by photonics, as well as existing applications that can be improved by further developments in photonics. Also, we discussed whether opportunities exist for both well-established photonics firms, as well as younger photonics firms.
