14-16 May 2025,
Rhodes, Greece



Aims & Scope





RHODES, GREECE



The 8th International Conference on Optics, Photonics and Lasers (OPAL' 2025) aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and industry professionals to share their latest findings, innovative methodologies, and emerging technologies in the mentioned fields. This event seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, catalyze advancements, and explore new trends and challenges in these dynamic areas.


The scope of OPAL' 2025 encompasses a broad range of topics related to the generation, manipulation, and application of light. This includes but is not limited to, advances in optical materials, design of photonic devices, laser technology, and their applications in communication, medicine, energy, and industry. The conference also welcomes discussions on theoretical modeling, computational techniques, and the integration of optics and photonics with other scientific disciplines such as quantum information science, biophotonics, and nanotechnology.


OPAL' 2025 conference aims to provide a comprehensive platform for attendees to engage in high-level discussions, present groundbreaking research, and exchange ideas that push the boundaries of current understanding in optics, photonics, and lasers. The conference will feature networking opportunities, all designed to inspire collaboration and drive innovation in these critical fields. By fostering a vibrant exchange of knowledge and ideas, OPAL' 2025 aspires to contribute to the development of novel technologies that will have a lasting impact on both academia and industry, ultimately advancing the frontiers of science and technology.


Similar to the previous OPAL conferences, the 8th International Conference on Optics, Photonics and Lasers (OPAL' 2025) will incorporate three symposiums covering a broaden range in optics, photonics and lasers, and provide an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and present latest advancements in these areas. The OPAL 2025 will be organized by the IFSA - professional, non-profit association serving for industry and academy since 1999.
