Bright prospects for the science of light

Light is much more than the glow of a lamp. Its applications influence art, culture, science and technology, and even the development of entire societies. The International Day of Light initiated by UNESCO on May 16, 2021, once again demonstrates its importance to us. Heraeus, too, is involved in many areas of light technologies that have proven their value not only in times of pandemics.

Achieving as much as possible with the smallest possible intervention: The importance of minimally invasive surgery is steadily increasing in modern medicine, with new areas of application every year. For patients, the trend toward smaller incisions means faster recovery, less risk of complications, less pain and ultimately a higher quality of life. This is made possible by special optical fibers made of fused silica.
