Northern Optics & Photonics 2018 Lund University Lund, Sweden
It is our great pleasure to announce the next edition in the series of Northern Optics conferences that brings together optical scientists from the
Nordic and Baltic countries. The previous meetings were held in Uppsala (2000), Espoo (2003), Bergen (2006), Vilnius (2009), and Helsingør (2012) and Imatra/Lappeenranta region (2015). Northern Optics & Photonics 2018 (NOP 2018) will be arranged on 12-14 September 2018 in Lund, Sweden.
The conference is organised by the Swedish Optical Society and PhotonicSweden in conjunction with the Lund University and Lund Laser Centre and sponsored by optics/photonics societies of Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Baltic countries.
There will be two parallel sessions one is devoted to presentations from academia and one to industry presentations.
