OPAL' 2022: 5th International Conference on Optics, Photonics and Lasers Hard Rock Hotel, Tenerife Adeje (Canary Islands), Spain, May 18-20, 2022

About the Event

Similar to the previous OPAL conferences, the 5^th International Conference on Optics, Photonics and Lasers (OPAL' 2022) 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 2022 will be organized by the IFSA - professional, non-profit association serving for industry and academy more than 20 years.

The purpose of OPAL’ 2022 is bring together leading international researchers, engineers and practitioners interested on any of the optical related technologies. The conference will offer plenary and invited talks, contributed oral and poster presentations, special sessions, tutorials, and exhibitions of commercial products. Social and cultural events will also take place to foster networking among the participants in a friendly manner.

The previous OPAL Series of Conference:

• OPAL’ 2018 (Barcelona, Spain),
• OPAL' 2019 (Amsterdam, The Netherlands),
• OPAL' 2020 (virtual format)
• OPAL' 2021 (Corfu, Greece)

have attracted many researchers and practitioners in the related fields, from around the world and all continents, who have presented the latest results covering theory, design, device technology and applications. We trust that you will find OPAL' 2022 conference professionally rewarding and stimulating as well as enjoyable.
