Three inspiring days filled with insightful presentations, engaging discussions, and valuable new perspectives are behind us. We are delighted to look back on our participation in the Extreme Optics Workshop (ExOp 2026), held from June 15–17, 2026, at the ELI-NP research center in Măgurele, near Bucharest. 📍
The workshop brought together leading experts from academia and industry to discuss the latest advances in high-power laser systems, precision optics, and innovative manufacturing technologies. 🔎
As a specialist in ion beam technologies, precision optical machining, and customized special-purpose machinery, ExOp provided an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas with international experts on topics such as high-LIDT optics, plasma optics, nanolaminates, diffraction gratings, and next-generation optical solutions for extreme laser applications.
We were particularly pleased to see how closely the workshop topics aligned with the technologies and expertise that NTG has been developing for industrial and research applications for many years. The inspiring discussions and diverse perspectives once again highlighted the importance of close collaboration between science and industry in advancing the next generation of high-precision optical systems.
A sincere thank you to the organizers and all participants for an outstanding event, inspiring presentations, and many valuable conversations. We look forward to continuing these connections and contributing to the future of optics and laser technology together. 👏
