The Berthold Leibinger Zukunftspreis (future prize) is an international award for "excellent research on the application or generation of laser light".[1] Since 2006, it is biennially awarded by the German non-profit foundation Berthold Leibinger Stiftung as part of its Laser Prizes, with an amount of 50,000 euros.[2]

Recipients

As of 2023, two Zukunftspreis laureates have also received the Nobel Prize in Physics: Gérard Mourou in 2018, and Anne L'Huillier in 2023.
