The journal Electro Optics has published the annual Photonics100 2026 list, celebrating the 100 most influential people shaping the future of photonics – one of the key technologies of the 21st century. This year, the list includes three representatives from Lithuania. Considering the country’s small size, this is a remarkable achievement: with just 2.8 million people, Lithuania can be seen as the most photonics-productive nation in the world per capita, surpassing much larger players such as Germany, the United Kingdom, or the United States. This recognition once again highlights the strength and visibility of Lithuania’s photonics sector on the global stage.
