Element Six Selected as Finalist at the SPIE Prism Award

Industry giants and emerging challengers will be honored at the Prism Awards in a March 2021 virtual ceremony. The Prism Awards recognize industrial innovation in photonics in multiple categories. For the consideration of the 2021 Prism Awards, SPIE and media partner Photonics Media received 149 applications from 18 countries.

Notable trends in quantum, manufacturing, health care, smart sensing, and autonomous transportation mark this year’s entries and finalists. Emerging companies Lumedica and Qnami and returning Prism champions WaveOptics and nLight will share the stage alongside industry stalwarts such as IPG and Osram. With 10 categories ranging from manufacturing, vision technology, and life sciences to transportation, quality control, and medical devices, the Prism Awards showcase the latest products and technical innovations across optics and photonics.

“The finalists vying for the 2021 Prism Awards represent exciting innovations in the optics and photonics industry,” said SPIE CEO Kent Rochford. “In a year when R&D has been understandably challenged, we still see tremendous work from our community in terms of developing products that enable health care, make our planet safer and cleaner, and improve manufacturing, while also looking into the future to continue to impact and enhance our daily lives. We congratulate all the applicants for the research, development, and perseverance necessary to bring a sellable technology to market and look forward to recognizing the winners early next year.” 

“The Prism Awards represent the preeminent honor for our industry and offer a window into the innovation taking place in established and emerging fields — from smart sensing to transportation to quantum and beyond,” said Tom Laurin, CEO of Photonics Media. “It’s our great pleasure to congratulate the 2021 finalists, and we wish them luck as the final round of voting takes place. If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that even a pandemic can’t slow the progress of photonics in shaping our world.”
