SPIE Photonics Europe Digital Forum | 6-10 April 2020

SPIE Photonics Europe Digital Forum is a newly launched version of SPIE Photonics Europe 2020, reimagined into a convenient, high-quality, and timely method to share emerging research and technology advances throughout the photonics community — from digital optics and quantum technologies to biophotonics, optical imaging, sensing, and metrology.

There is no cost for the SPIE Photonics Europe Digital Forum, so sign up now to view the presentations and gain access to the proceedings. The SPIE community looks forward to your participation.

Although the 28 March deadline has passed, please continue uploading self-recorded presentations and manuscripts. We will do our best to make your material available for as much of the Digital Forum as possible. 

SPIE Digital Forums, like our in-person conferences, offer a rich exchange of research and advancements, made accessible via the SPIE Digital Library online platform. Together we can move scientific discussion forward during this time when we cannot meet face-to-face.

During the forum, participants from the global photonics community are encouraged to engage with the authors' works by watching presentations and posting questions and comments. Authors will respond to questions throughout the week.

Authors previously prepared to present their research in Strasbourg have been busy uploading pre-recorded presentations and manuscripts. There will be over 700 presentations and 500 manuscripts available during the forum covering these exciting topics.

• Metamaterials
• Nanophotonics
• Micro-Structured and Specialty Optical Fibres
• Biophotonics New
• Optical Micro- and Nanometrology
• Semiconductor Lasers and Laser Dynamics
• Nonlinear Optics and its Applications
• Photonics for Solar Energy
• Optics, Photonics and Digital Technologies for Imaging Applications

• Optical Sensing and Detection
• Quantum Technologies
• Advances in Ultrafast Condensed Phase Physics
• Unconventional Optical Imaging
• THz Photonics New
  
• Digital Optics for Immersive Displays
• Silicon Photonics
• Fiber Lasers and Glass Photonics
• Organic Electronics and Photonics

We are pleased to include the following plenary presentations as part of the SPIE Photonics Europe 2020 Digital Forum. Pre-recorded presentations will be available anytime throughout the forum. Take the opportunity to watch the presentations and ask questions for the speakers to respond to during the forum. Check back, additional speakers will be added to the programme leading up to the event.

While we had to cancel the in-person gathering due to the global COVID-19 health crisis, we know how important it is for our community to report the advances many had hoped to present at SPIE Photonics Europe. We have created this new method to continue the information exchange and networking that our community values and relies on.

Scientists and engineers in optics and photonics are making great progress, so please plan to participate and continue to drive breakthroughs in this field.
