About the show

LASER WORLD OF PHOTONICS SHANGHAI brings the photonics chain together in product-family halls: lasers and laser materials, optical components, optical manufacturing, testing and quality control, infrared, and integrated photonics and optical communication, with biomedical photonics and quantum technology in zones of their own.

The exhibitor list runs from component, module and instrument makers, Chinese and international alike, through to complete laser systems. The visitors are the industries that buy from that range: machine-tool and laser-system builders sourcing parts, optics shops needing production and metrology equipment, semiconductor and display fabs, medical device developers, and university and institute groups specifying instruments.
