Optics & Photonics Japan 2026

Optics & Photonics Japan (OPJ) serves as both a platform for research presentations in optics and photonics and is widely recognized as a venue for disseminating information in the field of optics in Japan. The scope of this academic conference covers a wide range of areas related to light, including nanophotonics, quantum optics, information photonics, vision optics, optical measurements, biomedical optics, and optical design, and extends to X-ray and EUV optics, making it one of the largest academic conferences in the field of optics in Japan, covering a broad field from optical science to industrial applications.

OPJ2026 marks the return of the conference to Hamamatsu for the first time since Optics Japan 2003, following the online-only OPJ2020 (originally scheduled for Hamamatsu). In addition to general presentations, they are planning international symposiums featuring special lectures from OPTICA, SPIE, EOS (European Optical Society), TPS (Taiwan Photonics Society) and invited lectures from overseas societies, as well as joint symposiums with various domestic societies.
