ABOUT
Optical on-chip integration celebrates its 50th anniversary!
For this occasion, the European Optical Society organizes its first topical meeting on Integrated Optics.
This event has the objective to bring together senior and junior scientists around the challenges that we are facing now in our field. While passing from an optical laboratory to an handheld device, the size, the cost, and the power consumption has to be reduced. Applied Science and Engineering have to merge to tackle these issues!
Beyond the technical and scientific symposium, the conference is for both Industry and Academy who are playing an important role in this tremendous field. This long-term cooperation has always been the driving force, which makes nowadays Integrated Optics the unavoidable tool for future devices.
For this first meeting we expect a broad international audience. The main goals of the event are to meet around informal discussions, comforting collaborations, sharing ideas with academic and industrial partners.

The scope of the conference is large, since integrated Optics and Photonics rely on many challenges.
We therefore propose (but we are not limited to) the following topics:- Devices: From design to fabrication and characterization, the building blocks of integrated optics require
a thorough understanding and challenging techniques. It include passive, active, and tunable devices. - Materials: Silicon, silicon-based materials, III-V compounds, glasses, lithium niobate, polymers,
2D materials are some of the key materials allowing the expansion of the field of research. - Applications: Telecommunication, quantum optics, sensing are among the most straightforward and
important applications of integrated optics. - Towards industry: scaling up the fabrication, packaging, electronic hybridization…
Make your conference count: EOS will publish all accepted and presented abstracts online and in open access.

The conference will be held at the Department of Physics and Mathematics of the University of Eastern Finland in Joensuu, Finland.
Joensuu is a vibrant and growing regional center, which has a great deal to offer: the Karelian lifestyle, a city center with a multiplicity of services, and the Pielisjoki River flowing through it with its many possibilities. The urban lifestyle and quiet rural areas live side by side in Joensuu. All at once Joensuu is a high-tech center, a thriving rock music city (Ilosaari rock festival in July), the Karelian marketplace, and the silence of the wilderness, all along the border.
