The Optica Advanced Photonics Congress brings together researchers from around the world to present advances in photonics technologies, materials and applications, exchange ideas and explore opportunities for collaboration.

The congress covers a broad range of research areas, including:

• Optical communications and networking, particularly for AI data centers and high-performance computing
• Optical and quantum computing, networking and sensing
• Integrated photonics and advanced on-chip devices, including photonic integrated circuits (PICs), nanophotonics, heterogeneous integration and low-temperature photonics
• Emerging optical fibers, materials and nonlinear phenomena
• Thermal photonics, radiative cooling, photovoltaics and LED lighting
