Environment/Energy

Photonic-based electrical power generation and energy efficient photonics will play a key role in the reduction of the collective energy footprint that is fast becoming an important global priority. Photonics will also find important applications in environmental monitoring and purification. This conference will focus on photonic technologies and their applications addressing energy efficiency and the environment. Below you will find a full range of in-depth programming covering this area.
