The 2023 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics/Europe – European Quantum Electronics Virtual Conferences (CLEO^®/Europe-EQEC 2023) is an international conference to highlight new frontiers in lasers, photonics, and optical science across a wide range of technical areas. This conference series has a strong tradition as a comprehensive and prestigious gathering of optics and photonics researchers and engineers in Europe. With technical co-sponsorship provided by the European Physical Society (EPS), the IEEE Photonics Society (IPS), and Optica, it reflects a strong international presence in the complementary research traditions of laser science, photonics, and quantum electronics. The conference emphasizes applied physics, optical engineering, and applications of photonics and laser technology whereas EQEC emphasizes basic research in laser physics, nonlinear optics, and quantum optics.

The conference will showcase the latest developments in a wide range of laser and photonics areas including laser source development, materials, ultrafast science, fiber optics, nonlinear optics, terahertz sources, high-field physics, optical telecommunications, nanophotonics, biophotonics. EQEC will feature the fundamentals of quantum optics, quantum information, atom optics, ultrafast optics, nonlinear phenomena and self-organization, plasmonics and metamaterials, fundamental nano optics, and theoretical and computational photonics. This combination provides a unique forum to obtain informative overviews and discusses recent advances in a wide spectrum of topics, from fundamental light-matter interactions and new sources of coherent light to technology development, system engineering, and applications in industry and applied science.
