SPIE PHOTONICS EUROPE 2026
12.04.2026 - 16.04.2026
Strasbourg, France
SPIE Photonics Europe is the conference where leading researchers share latest innovations from AR/VR and biophotonics to lasers and quantum technologies. This meeting happens every other year in Strasbourg and provides an excellent opportunity for the optics community to gather and present research.
Present your research at the only cross-disciplinary event highlighting compelling optics and photonics technologies—from digital optics to quantum technologies to optical imaging, sensing, and metrology. Additional topics include THz photonics, 3D printed optics, photonic glasses, photosensitive materials, and biophotonics.
SPIE Optical Systems Design is again co-located at SPIE Photonics Europe.
