Integrated photonics is an important branch of optoelectronic technology, which compresses the scale of photonic devices to be comparable to that of electronic devices, thus realizing CMOS compatibility, mutual integration, and large-scale integration, resulting in what is known in the industry as photonic integrated circuits (PICs), which are also often referred to as photonic chips or optical chips. Photonic chips have a wide range of applications in the fields of automobiles, aerospace, information and communica-tions, and artificial intelligence. Specifically, it can be applied in many fields including autonomous driving, security monitoring, speech recognition, medical diagnosis, games, virtual reality, industrial Internet of Things and data centers, which provides more possibilities for the development of optoelectronic technology, thus significantly promoting its innovation.
Relying on Messe München, the Shanghai-based Laser World of Photonics China was founded in 2006. Since then, it is oriented to the Chinese market and extends to Asia-Pacific region, and further connects with premium exhibitors and buyers in industries of laser, optics and optoelectronics across Asia and even the world. Working with Chinese and international optoelectronic professionals, the event will actively promote the transformation and realization of scientific and technological achievements and promote international cooperation and exchanges, explore the future direction of the optoelectronic industry, and keep track of new technologies and new trends, in a bid to help the innovative development of traditional industries and emerging industries, provide powerful support for China's high-quality development by technological means, and further push the industry move towards a higher level and broader extent.
Scope of Exhibited Items:
Active Optical Chips
Passive Optical Chips
Raw Materials
Processing Equipment in Integrated Photonics
Application Solutions
Laser World of Photonics China 2026, the annual event for the laser, optics, and optoelectronics industries in Asia, is scheduled to take place from March 18 to 20, 2026, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. The theme of Laser World of Photonics China 2026, "Embracing a New Era · Leading into the Future", sets the tone for this year's event, which promises to bring a refreshed image. This event will spotlight emerging technologies and trends, actively accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and propel industries toward high-end and global development. It also aims to reinforce the foundation for establishing a global technological powerhouse, while collectively exploring the future direction of the optoelectronics industry.
