Lasers play a critical role in addressing climate change.

Optica President-elect Jim Kafka (Spectra-Physics) celebrates #LightDay2024 with this #DiscoverOptica blog to cover how lasers provide solutions for environmental protection.

As human-induced climate change increases the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events like heat waves, floods, hurricanes, droughts and wildfires, lasers serve as a tool to manufacture technologies to transition to green energy.

With optical sensors and lidar-based environmental mapping, enabling solar cells, rechargeable batteries, LED manufacturing and more, laser science is the key to a brighter and more sustainable future.
