General Information
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.
22nd International Conference Laser Optics (ICLO 2026) will take place in 22-26 June 2026 at the Moskovskiye Vorota Hotel - St. Petersburg (https://www.hi-spb.com/en/).
ICLO 2026 technical program includes 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.
