The Congress and Co-located Meetings

Sensors and sensing technologies that utilize optical techniques are becoming central to many aspects of our modern life.

The Optica Sensing Congress presents the latest developments in optical sensing and sensors and their use in various applications. Of particular note are several hot topics, including photonic integrated circuits (PICS), fiber-based sensing, quantum sensing technology, THz sensing, sensing solutions in manufacturing and the latest developments in comb spectroscopy, including fiber lasers and mid-IR sources. 

The optical sensor market continues to expand, and sensor technology is becoming more and more sophisticated, with integration from the chip level to full system platforms.
