Scope:

Optics has a distinguished history in the physical sciences, shaping technological progress across centuries. From the early foundations of geometrical optics to the pioneering work of Alhazen, Kepler, Descartes, Newton, Huygens, and Fresnel, the field has continuously evolved. The electromagnetic theory synthesis by Maxwell and the quantum revolution of the 20th century paved the way for modern laser and photonics technologies, which now drive scientific and industrial advancements.

Today, optical systems are integral to modern society, enabling transformative progress in various fields. In medical sciences, optics and photonics play a crucial role in vision technologies, surgical instrumentation, medical imaging, targeted drug delivery, and cancer photothermal therapies. Space exploration relies on optical components such as telescopes, lenses, and spectrometers to analyze distant celestial bodies.

This edition of PHOTOPTICS will feature three dedicated tracks: Optics, which covers fundamental and applied research in classical and modern optics; Photonics, focusing on advancements in optical communication, sensing, and quantum photonics; and Lasers, addressing laser physics, sources, applications, and industrial processes. The conference provides a platform for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to present new methods, emerging technologies, advanced prototypes, and theoretical developments. General survey papers discussing future research directions are also welcome.

PHOTOPTICS is organized in 3 major tracks:
Optics
Photonics
Lasers
