An open notebook with sketches and images of eclipses, plant leaves, and scientific diagrams. Text on the left page reads, "When we give opportunity," and on the right page, "we gain entire fields of innovation." Below the notebook, the message reads, "See the dream team we'd hire if these brilliant innovators were here today. Women's History Month 2026." The image is branded with the Thorlabs logo at the top.
Women’s brilliance was never the limiting factor. 💡
For Women’s History Month, we’re imagining the dream team we’d hire if we could recruit women whose discoveries shaped photonics before they were allowed in labs.
All month, we’ll post scientific pioneers and the modern roles they’d excel in today.
Happy Engineers Week! At Thorlabs, engineers shape the future of photonics and advance science. 🚀
We are hiring for engineering roles in multiple locations, including:
🔹Electrical Engineer I in Colorado https://lnkd.in/eej-H5TG
🔹Engineering Technician II in New Jersey https://lnkd.in/ehSwgPWs
Black history is built every day. Learn from leaders shaping the future.
Mark Dean: Computer scientist/engineer 💻
Kimberly Bryant: Founder, Black Girls Code👩🏽💻
Alexa Canady: Pioneering neurosurgeon 🧠
Angela Benton: Tech entrepreneur building paths for other Black innovators 🚀
#BlackHistoryMonth
Visit us! Thorlabs will attend the @dpgphysik.bsky.social Spring Meeting of the Condensed Matter Section (SKM).
We will be exhibiting a full range of products, including our new aluminum kinematic mounts, wavelength meter, and diode/QCL driver with TEC controller and more.

What advice would you give someone considering a career in the engineering field?💡
We have tremendous respect for the passion and curiosity it takes to support research and innovation. 🚀 https://bit.ly/4qIvqdu
Sometimes customers share photos of optical setups. 🔬
Sometimes they show us they love Thorlabs in other ways. 🍪
We love all of it. 🤗
Thank you, Twinleaf LLC. Magnetometers, cookies, what can't you do?
Dr. Elmer Samuel Imes (1883–1941) was a pioneering physicist. His work in quantum theory helped expand opportunities for future scientists. He became the second Black American to earn a PhD in physics in 1918. His work continues to influence today’s photonics industry.
