The conference focuses on leading edge research in integrated optics, opto-electronics and nanophotonics. The meeting gathers experts from academia and industry to show their latest scientific and technical results, and to showcase their products and services. The application scope is broad: it ranges from telecom/datacom to optical imaging, sensing, metrology, up to more disruptive areas like quantum and neuromorphic computing.
The most recent advances in the wide-ranging field of photonic devices are among the main features of the conference. Conference topics cover waveguide theory and novel waveguide concepts; devices, photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and their applications; technology platforms and materials, such as silicon-based photonics and III-V optoelectronics; circuit design models and tools; assembly, packaging and testing; PIC exploitation in classical and emerging applications.

What do you need to do?
The TPC appreciates high quality papers that…
- Comply fully with the official template.
- In the title, be concise and avoid abbreviations and acronyms.
- In the abstract, briefly identify the field, the novelty and relevance of the work (≤ 35 words).
- In the introduction:
- Clearly state the research topic and its relevance to the community.
- Clearly state the state-of-the-art.
- Correctly identify the nearest prior state-of-the-art through citations.
- Acknowledge the contributions of other groups to the state-of-the-art through citations.
- Avoid unnecessary self-citations.
- Clearly state the technical/scientific problem and communicate what is missing to solve it (some call it the “however” paragraph).
- Concisely state the novelty or what is solved/shown and give numbers whenever possible (some call it the “in this paper” paragraph).
- In the main text:
- Provide an original solution not previously published in journals or at other conferences.
- clearly justify implementation choices in consideration of the application requirements.
- Provide sufficient details to enable the work to be reproduced by others, including a clear description of structure and principle in addition to the results.
- Include quantitative claims, and fair and unbiased comparisons to previous work.
- Include quantities with the relevant number of significant digits, units, and errors.
- Use the International System of Units (SI), symbols and abbreviations.
- Provide a comprehensive discussion of the results.
- Directly support the claimed novelty with the presented results and go beyond a simple iteration of previous work.
- Use figures, which are:
- Either single-column or double-column. Follow the examples in the template as a guideline.
- Clear and legible, even after printing in black and white (the use of a vector format is recommended).
- Self-explanatory and do not require a reference to the main text to be understood.
- Showing graphics or schematics of the investigated devices, setups or configurations.
- Correctly labelled on all axes with correct units where applicable.
- Use tables, which are either single-column or double-column. Follow the examples in the template as a guideline.
- In the conclusions, summarise the key ideas and the novelty, and support them by numbers.
