This workshop brings together experts from research, fabrication and users to discuss the potential and the challenges of the complete chain: starting from the design to the manufacturing, assembly, testing and application of diffractive optical elements.

You will be updated by experts on novel trends in development and research. You will learn from manufacturers about their technology, capabilities and challenges. In addition, users will show you where they are using diffractive optical elements, what their benefits and challenges are, and where other areas of application could be considered.

This workshop aims for both, partners seeking an innovative solution and potential technology providers. Participants will benefit from insights on current technology topics. This will be followed by group discussions where questions will be explored in more depth and potential areas of need and solutions will be discussed.

Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to network with potential project partners and, ideally, start a collaboration project that can be funded by the NTN Innovation Booster Photonics.
