THE INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION honoring
Photonics Innovation
The Prism Awards is an annual international competition that honors the best new optics and photonics products on the market.
Since 2008, SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, has presented awards to companies and individuals creating products that make a difference, solve problems, and improve life through photonics.
