Dec 15 2020
SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, and the Chinese Laser Press will host a colloquium sponsored by their co-published journal Advanced Photonics. The six 90-minute interactive events will be moderated by the journal's associate editors and will cover new research and innovations in nanophotonics, imaging, quantum research, and metalenses. Registration for the events is free and open to the public.
The sessions will be streamed in time zones convenient to anyone in the world, and recordings of the individual sessions -- each of which will include interactive Q&A time -- will be available at a later date via the Advanced Photonics Colloquium webpage.
