<b><i> </i></b><br>
Abstracts, to be submitted by <b>January 16, 2017</b>, are
welcome in all fields of optics and photonics. ISI indexed
proceedings will be published by SPIE and selected papers will be
published on <a href="http://www.springer.com/physics/optics+%26+lasers/journal/11082" target="_blank"><span style="color:blue">Optical and Quantum Electronics</span></a>.
<br>
<br>
Research in Applications of Optics and Photonics is continuously
evolving with remarkable and exciting recent developments, all
over the world. After the success of the first two editions in
2011 and 2014, the Portuguese Society for Research and Development
of Optics and Photonics, SPOF, is organizing the III International
Conference on Applications in Optics and Photonics, AOP2017.<br>
<br>
This forum will be an excellent opportunity to increase in an open
friendly environment the external visibility of participant’s
research works and to establish sound mutually beneficial
cooperation relationships among research institutions, the
industry, higher education institutions and scientific societies
committed to the promotion of Optics and Photonics and of its
impact in the development of the society. The exhibit area apart
from the display of scientific and technical equipment, will host
boots of research labs and industries in order to promote and
facilitate the setting-up of future new collaborations. <br>
<br>
Open to contributions in all topics of Optics and Photonics and
application’ fields, with this conference we set the
state-of-the-art in the subject foreseeing the lines of
development on next decade. We are looking forward to welcome the
optics and photonics community and our friends from all over the
world.<u></u><u></u></span><br>
