The event will be of hybrid nature, in the sense that online presentations of accepted papers will be possible for those authors that are unable to travel to the venue.
https://photoptics.scitevents.org/ February 25 - 27, 2027 Valletta, Malta --------- Scope: Optics has a distinguished history in the physical sciences, shaping technological progress across centuries. From the early foundations of geometrical optics to the pioneering work of Alhazen, Kepler, Descartes, Newton, Huygens, and Fresnel, the field has continuously evolved. The electromagnetic theory synthesis by Maxwell and the quantum revolution of the 20th century paved the way for modern laser and photonics technologies, which now drive scientific and industrial advancements.Today, optical systems are integral to modern society, enabling transformative progress in various fields. In medical sciences, optics and photonics play a crucial role in vision technologies, surgical instrumentation, medical imaging, targeted drug delivery, and cancer photothermal therapies. Space exploration relies on optical components such as telescopes, lenses, and spectrometers to analyze distant celestial bodies.This edition of PHOTOPTICS will feature three dedicated tracks: Optics, which covers fundamental and applied research in classical and modern optics; Photonics, focusing on advancements in optical communication, sensing, and quantum photonics; and Lasers, addressing laser physics, sources, applications, and industrial processes. The conference provides a platform for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to present new methods, emerging technologies, advanced prototypes, and theoretical developments. General survey papers discussing future research directions are also welcome.
PHOTOPTICS is organized in 3 major tracks: Optics Photonics Lasers

Topics of interest
Before you submit
- Read the full call for papers — page limits, template (IEEE, ACM, LNCS …) and whether review is double-blind.
- Deadlines are usually 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE) — convert to Bangladesh time (UTC+6) and aim to submit a day early.
- At least one author normally has to register and present; budget for the fee and, for in-person events, a visa appointment well before the conference.
- Look for student travel grants and volunteer programmes — most large conferences run both, with deadlines soon after notification.
