World of Photonics Congress 2025: Program
Five scientific conferences with plenaries and joint sessions and a practice-oriented lecture program address all aspects of optical technologies.
To depict all aspects of optical technologies, the conferences at the World of Photonics Congress are oriented to the research sector’s close proximity to industry on the one hand and to photonics applications in the industrial and medical sectors on the other.
CLEO® / Europe – EQEC 2025
CLEO®/Europe-EQEC 2025 conference is Europe’s largest conference on photonics and related research fields. CLEO®/Europe will showcase the latest developments in a wide range of laser and photonics areas, EQEC, on the other hand, features the fundamentals of quantum optics. The program features plenary lectures, keynote and tutorial speakers, invited talks, contributed talks and poster sessions within the different topics. Furthermore, the conference will feature short courses and joint symposia.
CLEO® / Europe – EQEC 2025 is organized by the European Physical Society (EPS), OPTICA and the IEEE Photonics Society.
Lasers in Manufacturing (LiM 2025)
LiM focuses on the latest developments as well as future trends in the field of laser material processing including process engineering, system technology and process optimization. The conference consists of three sub-conferences – one for macro applications, one for nano and micro applications, and one for additive manufacturing.
LiM is organized by the German Scientific Society for Lasers and Photonics (WLT).
Digital Optical Technologies
Digital Optical Technologies reflects trends in recent technologies such as 3D sensors, immersive multimedia, novel displays, light sources and imaging systems. Digital optical technologies include optics designed by digital means, fabricated by digital means, with functionalities enhanced or altered by digital techniques (computational optics or dynamic optics).
Digital Optical Technologies is organized by SPIE Europe.
Optical Metrology
Optical Metrology focuses on the latest research in measurement systems, optical metrology, modeling, videometrics, inspection and machine vision with applications for solving measurement and inspection problems in industrial design and production engineering, vehicle navigation, multimedia technology, architecture, archaeology and the arts.
Optical Metrology is organized by SPIE Europe.
European Conferences on Biomedical Optics (ECBO)
ECBO cover basic science, novel technology and applications in the areas of advanced microscopy, clinical and biomedical spectroscopy, diffuse optical imaging, molecular imaging, neurophotonics and optogenetics, optical coherence tomography and other coherence techniques, therapeutic laser applications, laser-tissue interactions, opto-acoustic methods, and other novel biophotonics techniques.
ECBO is co-sponsored by Optica and SPIE, and 2025 is organised by Optica.
