What to expect

Laser measurement challenges shouldn’t slow down the development of new laser-based technologies. As systems become smaller, more application-specific and deployed outside the lab, diagnostics need to be simpler, compact and easy to integrate. This webinar will explore how laser measurement can be simplified through component expertise, application understanding and compact sensor-platform design.

What you will learn

  • Practical laser measurement for moving from R&D to real-world products and scalable OEM systems
  • Compact sensor-based approaches from Coher Sense and Hamamatsu Photonics
  • Visible and near-infrared measurement using Si and InGaAs detection
  • Key parameters beyond wavelength
  • Real-world examples:
    • Precision telecom lasers
    • Dual-wavelength interferometry
    • Quantum technologies        

Collaboration highlight

The webinar also reflects the ongoing collaboration between Hamamatsu Photonics Europe and Coher Sense, following the Hamamatsu’s Photonics Innovation Award at Laser World of Photonics 2025. 

Who should attend

Photonics and laser engineers, OEM and system integrators, quantum and telecom developers, metrology and spectroscopy specialists, and anyone developing compact or field-deployable laser-based systems.

Presenter Bio

Dr Oliver Lischtschenko

Dr Oliver Lischtschenko holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Greifswald, with a background in plasma and laser spectroscopy. After his academic career, he spent 13 years at Ocean Optics in Europe, working across roles including Sales Engineer and Applications Expert. He is the founder and CEO of Coher Sense, a Lübeck, Germany-based photonics startup, where he has worked full time since August 2024. Oliver is internationally recognized across science and industry as an innovation leader, including through his selection for the Photonics 100 list of innovators. Coher Sense won the Hamamatsu Photonics Innovation Award in the Advanced Feasibility category for its KISA sensor in 2026, and Oliver was named an AMA Innovation Award winner in 2026 for inventing the KISA technology on which Coher Sense products are built.
