Sumitomo Chemical to Attend SPIE Photonics West 2024 to Exhibit its Compound Semiconductor Products and Present an Invited Talk
Dec. 20, 2023
Sumitomo Chemical will participate in SPIE Photonics West 2024, the world’s largest optics and photonics conference and exhibition, to be held in San Francisco, California, the United States, from Tuesday, January 30 to Thursday, February 1, 2024. This will be the Company’s first time attending SPIE Photonics West. This conference, organized by the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE), the leading society in this field, showcases a wide range of the latest optical and photonic technologies and applications, including optical communications, lasers, and optoelectronic devices.
Sumitomo Chemical offers compound semiconductor products that are garnering attention as next-generation materials. At SPIE Photonics West 2024, the Company will exhibit gallium nitride (GaN) substrates for blue laser diodes and gallium arsenide (GaAs) epitaxial wafers used in vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) applications. In addition, Hajime Fujikura, Fellow, Ibaraki Works, Sumitomo Chemical, will present an invited talk at the conference on Monday, January 29, the day before the exhibition starts. You are invited to attend his invited talk and visit the Company's exhibition booth.
