Photonics Hub Symposium “Photonics for Space” (partner event)
The two-day event is organised in cooperation with the company son-x in Aachen.
About this event
Photonics is growing in importance in space applica
tions, specifically in the manufacturing of high-pre
cision optical mirrors for satellites and telescopes.
The “Photonics for Space” Symposium will present
the latest developments and challenges in the use of
photonics for space applications. The event will inclu
de discussions on topics such as materials for photo
nics in astronomical applications, the manufacturing
of ultra-precise metal mirrors, mirrors for laser satelli
te communication or optical metrology in aerospace.
The aim of the event is to bring together experts in the field
to share their knowledge and know-how, explore new op
portunities for research and development in this exciting
area and provide efficient networking for participants.
The cooperation partner son-x develops pioneering
innovations together with his customers. No matter
whether it is the production of precision mirrors from
one millimeter to 1000 mm in diameter. Any size can
be produced, from individual items to large series.
