Conference Notes
Advanced Optical Technologies · 2016
Europe has a strong research infrastructure, particularly in the field of photonics.Nevertheless, it still lacks an annual conference at the size of the Photonics West in America.Its smaller cousin in Brussels does a brave job in uniting 18 different conferences in fields ranging from nanophotonics and microoptics to biophotonics or highpower lasers.More than 1200 presentations are expected, the attendance is usually larger than 2000 people from Europe, the Middle East and other parts of the world.The scientific program comes along with a multifaceted industry exhibition and a number of special workshops.
