The 26th Iranian Conference on Optics and Photonics (ICOP 2020) and the 12th Iranian Conference on Photonics Engineering and Technology (ICPET 2020) with the support of the laser, photonics, advanced materials and construction technologies development headquarter.

The annual gathering of experts in the field of optics and photonics is held every year in one of the scientific centers and universities of the country. More than 250 scientific and research centers and institutions have participated in the 25th event.

The 26^th round of ICOP 2020 is held in Karaj and Kharazmi University and will end on February 5^th, 2020.

The scientific event will present the latest research articles containing new points in optics and photonics.

One of the goals of this conference is to introduce the experts and researchers of the country"s academic and research and industrial centers to each other"s activities, exchange information and establish links between artisans and researchers and to meet the latest scientific and technological achievements in various fields of optics and photonics in the country.

At the end of this conference and the finalization of the arbitration process, the best and selected papers for publication in the international scientific and research journals are presented.

Nonlinear optics, quantum optics, geometric optics and optical design, crystal photonic devices, plasmonic devices, metamaterials, organic and polymeric optics, semiconductor optical devices, terahertz devices, light based measurement, optical tweezers, biophotonics, plasma, diffraction optics, holography, optoelectromechanical systems, solar cells, spectroscopy, optical fiber, semiconductor lasers, solid and gas lasers, magnetophotonics, nanostructures and optical nanoparticles are among the topics of the conference.
