APE 2024 Site Tour Program

 

During the exhibition, APE organised site tours to the R&D centers of local universities and photonics companies in Singapore, aiming to enhance communication and exchange between industries and promote industry development. The APE 2024 Site Tour Program was conducted over two days. On March 6th, companies visited the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), exploring the cleanrooms in the Metrology Labs, the Dyson-SUTD Innovation Studio, and the Optical Quasar Lab of SUTD. On March 8th, the tour included visits to the Centre for Disruptive Photonic Technologies (CDPT) and the Centre for Optical Fibre Technology (COFT) at the Photonics Institute, Nanyang Technological University (NTU). Attendees also visited the Experience Center of SICK Singapore, and the Institute of Microelectronics (IME) and Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) at the Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR), etc.

Asia Light Conference

 

As a special chapter of the Asia Photonics Expo, the Asia Light Conference was an academic event that brought together top scientists in the field of optics from around the world. Over 70 experts and scholars from more than 17 countries engaged in in-depth discussions and shared knowledge on topics such as tunable optoelectronics, micro and nanophotonics, topological photonics, quantum photonics, terahertz optoelectronics, nonlinear photonics and functional lasers, nano materials and luminescence, advanced manufacturing, biophotonics and medical optics. This conference marked the first time that the Light publication group held a large-scale international conference overseas, attracting hundreds of attendees from around the world and being recognized as a significant academic event by Xinhua Finance (Global Finance).
