Optics and Photonics for Sensing the Environment (ES)

ES focuses on leveraging optical sensors to monitor all aspects of the environment, from point sources to global scales.

The meeting covers a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from the development of novel photonic technologies and their initial field deployments to long-term applications in environmental monitoring networks. ES serves as a bridge between cutting-edge photonic innovations and real-world challenges in environmental, industrial and agricultural contexts.

The presented work includes advancements in spectroscopic technologies such as frequency combs, supercontinuum sources, optical fibers and integrated photonic platforms. Applications span from individual sites and processes to large-scale sensor networks. Presenters are especially encouraged to share insights on deploying optical sensors in extensive monitoring systems, implementing open data principles, translating laboratory technologies into field-ready solutions and incorporating remote and satellite-based observations.
