New! Submission Deadline Extended!
New Deadline is Thursday, 29 January 2026, midnight Paris time.

 

General Information

The International Conference Laser Optics is a traditional biennial event in the fields of laser physics, optics, and photonics, held in Saint Petersburg, Russia since 1970s. It is one of the largest scientific conferences in Europe and by far the largest photonics event in Eastern Europe. The conference attracts researchers from around the world, as well as experts from other fields who are interested in laser applications.

The 22nd International Conference Laser Optics (ICLO 2026) will take place on 22-26 June 2026 at the Moskovskiye Vorota Hotel - St. Petersburg (https://www.hi-spb.com/en/). The ICLO 2026 Technical program will include selected topic symposia, plenary, parallel and poster sessions over five days. Distinguished plenary and invited speakers will present the state-of-the-art of laser physics, photonics and optical engineering.

Additionally, the Conference will host the 9th International A.M. Prokhorov Symposium on Biophotonics, the Conference on Optics of Dielectric, Metal, and Semiconductor Nanostructures (ODMSN) and the Chinese-Russian International Symposium on Photonics (CRISP 2026).

 

The scope of ICLO 2026:

  • Solid State Lasers
  • Semiconductor Lasers, Materials and Applications
  • Lasers and Systems for Imaging, Green Photonics and Sustainability
  • High-Power Lasers
  • Free Electron Lasers
  • Photonics Meets Al
  • Super-Intense Light Fields
  • Optical Nanomaterials
  • Quantum Optics
  • Nonlinear Photonics
  • Laser Beam Control
  • Lasers for Space Applications
  • Laser Additive Manufacturing
  • Biomedical Applications
  • Optics of Nanostructures

English will be the official language of the Conference.

For overseas speakers, ICLO 2026 will be held in hybrid format. In previous years, this format proved to be efficient in enabling both 'old-school' in-person meeting and distant participation when this is not possible because of travel restrictions.
