5/20 marks #WorldMetrologyDay, recognized by UNESCO, celebrating the science behind how we measure, verify, and understand the world around us.
It’s what ensures that even the smallest measurements, down to a few microns, are precise and make innovation possible across industries worldwide. 🗺️📏
Today, Thorlabs honors our fallen service members and remember all who have served. We recognize their courage and commitment and extend our deepest thanks to them and their families.
“In a dark place we find ourselves, and a little more knowledge lights our way.” – Yoda
Light and knowledge can change the future. We are illuminating progress every day through education and innovation, for our communities, our planet, and the world ahead. 🚀🌌
That’s a wrap on the @apsphysics.bsky.social Division of Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics Meeting 2026 in Providence, RI!
Our team had a great time showcasing our wavemeters and AOMs (acousto-optic modulators). Did you see us there?
The Mobile Photonics Lab stopped at our Newton, NJ headquarters so our summer interns and newer staff could explore the demos! 🔬👀
They got an exclusive peek at our OCT system, hands-on spectroscopy setup, manipulated a laser through water, and more.
Thank you for visiting us at the @cleoconference.bsky.social! Our demos focused on quantum enabling technologies, measurement & characterization, and more. (Did you get one of our dogs? Tag us in a photo of your dog alongside your work/research/setup.)
