About the Event

Similar to the 1st and 2nd OPAL conferences, the 3rd International Conference on Optics, Photonics and Lasers (OPAL' 2020) will incorporate three symposiums covering a broaden range in optics, photonics and lasers, and provide an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and present the latest advancements in these areas. The OPAL 2020 will be organized by the IFSA.

The purpose of OPAL’ 2020 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’ 2018 (Barcelona, Spain) and OPAL' 2019 (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) conferences 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' 2020 conference professionally rewarding and stimulating as well as enjoyable.
