LIGENTEC is thrilled to announce its participation in the CLEO Conference & Exhibition 2026.
The world’s premier international forum for scientific and technical optics will take place from May 17–21, 2026, at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.
This event unites the fields of lasers and opto-electronics, bringing together leading researchers, engineers, and industry innovators. We invite you to visit the LIGENTEC booth 913 to discover how our low-loss Silicon Nitride Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) are powering the next generation of quantum computing, telecommunications, and advanced sensing applications.
Innovation at the CLEO Conference & Exhibition 2026
For over 40 years, CLEO has served as the intersection where fundamental research meets industry application. The CLEO Conference & Exhibition 2026 continues this tradition, featuring over 2,000 peer-reviewed technical sessions and market-focused programming.
At this year’s event, the spotlight will be on breakthrough technologies ranging from quantum electronics to advanced imaging systems. LIGENTEC is proud to contribute to this ecosystem by showcasing our proprietary foundry platform. Our technology is critical for researchers and companies looking to scale their innovations from the lab to mass production, particularly in:
- Quantum Technologies: Robust, low-loss platforms for quantum key distribution (QKD) and computing.
- LiDAR & Sensing: High-power handling capabilities for autonomous systems.
- Space & Datacom: Ultra-low propagation loss for high-speed data transmission.
