Welcome to SPIE Optics + Photonics 2025

We look forward to gathering with you in August

Share your latest research in San Diego


SPIE Optics + Photonics is the right choice for your next conference. You will experience five days of thought-provoking sessions, plenary talks, networking events, and an exhibition that will bring the community together again in San Diego. We hope you will consider contributing your latest research at the 2025 event.


NEW for 2025! We are excited to announce the addition of a fourth symposium Astronomical Applications. Share your work in space and ground telescopes, UV/x-ray/gamma-ray astronomy, exoplanet detection, and more.

Come to share and learn from the experiences and insights of world experts, researchers, and innovators discussing advancements in optical engineering and applications, nanotechnology, quantum science, organic photonics, and astronomical applications.


We look forward to gathering again in San Diego. Your work is important, so make plans to share your research and join your peers as you help create the future of optics and photonics. Registration opens in the spring.


With anticipation and appreciation,
On behalf of your 2025 Optics + Photonics Chairs, SPIE Board, and staff
