Celebrating decades of innovation
Join the SPIE Photonics Europe community as we celebrate 20 years of gathering leaders and innovators in advancing optics and photonics technologies. SPIE Optical Systems Design also shares a 32 year milestone having held its first meeting in 1992.

The Photonics Europe event continues to provide an interdisciplinary forum where researchers and engineers from academia and industry can meet to help bring the frontiers of science into practice. The symposium represents an excellent opportunity to stay informed and further the debate the latest (and future) developments in optics and photonics technologies—from digital optics to quantum technologies to optical imaging, sensing, and metrology, as well as THz photonics, 3D printed optics, photonic glasses, photosensitive materials, and biophotonics.
