SYLA: Symposium New Trends in Laser Systems and their Applications for Photonic Quantum Systems and Emerging Technologies

SYLA 2: Laser Sources for Emerging Technologies – Enabling the Future

Wednesday, March 4, 2026, 14:30–16:30, HS 20

The first part of the Symposium will present production technologies for integrated photonic (quantum-) systems. As quantum and photonic technologies transit from laboratory research to real-world applications, scalable and robust production processes are becoming critical. This session focuses on advanced manufacturing technologies enabling the industrialization of integrated photonic and quantum systems. The second part will present laser sources for emerging technologies. Laser sources are essential enablers of disruptive technologies that are set to shape the future across multiple high-impact fields. This session highlights advancements and specific requirements for laser systems in groundbreaking areas like quantum systems, photonic chips, nuclear fusion, and EUV lithography.
