About Event

The 8th International Conference on Optics, Photonics and Lasers (OPAL' 2025) aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and industry professionals to share their latest findings, innovative methodologies, and emerging technologies in the mentioned fields. This event seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, catalyze advancements, and explore new trends and challenges in these dynamic areas.

The scope of OPAL' 2025 encompasses a broad range of topics related to the generation, manipulation, and application of light. This includes but is not limited to, advances in optical materials, design of photonic devices, laser technology, and their applications in communication, medicine, energy, and industry. The conference also welcomes discussions on theoretical modeling, computational techniques, and the integration of optics and photonics with other scientific disciplines such as quantum information science, biophotonics, and nanotechnology.

OPAL' 2025 conference aims to provide a comprehensive platform for attendees to engage in high-level discussions, present groundbreaking research, and exchange ideas that push the boundaries of current understanding in optics, photonics, and lasers. The conference will feature networking opportunities, all designed to inspire collaboration and drive innovation in these critical fields. By fostering a vibrant exchange of knowledge and ideas, OPAL' 2025 aspires to contribute to the development of novel technologies that will have a lasting impact on both academia and industry, ultimately advancing the frontiers of science and technology.

Similar to the previous OPAL conferences, the 8th International Conference on Optics, Photonics and Lasers (OPAL' 2025) 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 2025 will be organized by the IFSA - professional, non-profit association serving for industry and academy since 1999.

One event - three publications !

1) All registered abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings with the ISBN, ISSN and DOI), distributed during the conference and submitted for indexing to the Web of Science and Scopus. The previous OPAL' 2018 and OPAL' 2019 Conference proceedings are indexed by the Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI), Web of Science.

2) Authors will be invited to submit full-page extended papers to the one of the following special issues of open access journals:

Sensors & Transducers open access journal (ISSN: 2306-8515, e-ISSN: 1726-5479), special issue on 'Optics, Photonics & Lasers: Sensors and Measuring Systems'. The journal is indexed in SCOPUS.The other indexed open access journal will be announces soon.

3) The limited number of full-page papers published in the journals will be selected by the Editorial Board to extend for book chapters for the open access Book Series on 'Advances in Optics: Reviews', Vol. 7/8. Some previous volumes of this open access Book Series are indexed in Book Citation Index, Web of Science.
