EPJ Web of Conferences Highlight – 10th EPS-QEOD Europhoton Conference on Solid-State, Fibre, and Waveguide Coherent Light Sources

More than 180 participants attended this year’s Europhoton conference in Hannover.

The 10th EPS-QEOD Europhoton conference took place in Hannover, from August 28th to September 2nd, 2022. Host was the Leibniz University and the Cluster of Excellence PhoenixD. The Volkswagen Foundation generously sponsored the event.

With great pleasure, the European laser and optics community came together again in one place after the long pandemic downtime and enjoyed the interaction in the beautiful Herrenhausen Palace. The meeting was intentionally not planned as a hybrid conference, and in fact, all 80 presentations took place on-site.

Two broad topics have been covered at Europhoton, ‘Solid-State Lasers’ and ‘Fibre and Waveguide Devices’. A special symposium was held on ‘Artificial Intelligence in Laser Science’. The conference was dedicated to developments at the frontiers of these fields capturing the state of the art and new directions and systems.

Highlight themes at this year’s event were novel concepts in laser and amplifier architectures, in particular in the mid infrared spectral region, novel fibre and waveguide concepts, growth and characterisation of solid-state laser materials, and super-continuum light sources.

The next Europhoton conference is planned for fall 2024 in Vilnius, Lithuania.

This was our first experience of publishing with EPJ Web of Conferences. We contacted the publisher in the middle of September, just one month prior to the Conference, but everything went through smoothly. We have had published MNPS Proceedings with different publishers in the past, and would like to tell that the EPJ Web of Conferences team was probably the best, very quick, helpful and interactive. Typically, we were getting responses from EPJ Web of Conferences team within less than an hour and have had help at every production stage.
We are very thankful to Solange Guenot, Web of Conferences Publishing Editor, and Isabelle Houlbert, Web of Conferences Production Editor, for their support. These ladies are top-level professionals, who made a great contribution to the success of this issue. We are fully satisfied with the publication of the Conference Proceedings and are looking forward to further cooperation. The publication was very fast, easy and of high quality. My colleagues and I strongly recommend EPJ Web of Conferences to anyone, who is interested in quick high-quality publication of conference proceedings.
