SPIE Optical Systems Design programme

The programme includes six technical conferences focused on optical instrumentation and the latest advances in optical systems applications, materials, and processing.

View Conference Details

Optical instruments are addressing an ever-increasing number of industrial and research applications: imaging, vision, defence, astronomy, space, telecommunications, transportation, industrial process control, laser fusion, illumination, and medical applications. As end users are expecting more demanding performances, optical systems designers and manufacturers are faced with growing challenges. This symposium intends to provide an interdisciplinary forum for technicians, engineers, researchers, and managers who are involved in instrumental optics at all levels: specifications, design, manufacturing, and testing.
