18th Annual Meeting Photonic Devices

Date: 28-30 April 2026
Location: Zuse Institute Berlin, Berlin, Germany


The topics of the Annual Meeting Photonic Devices are the simulation, physical properties and deeper understanding of novel photonic devices. The audience consists of physicists, mathematicians and electrical engineers. The intent is to have an active exchange of results, ideas and methods between these different scientific fields from fundamental to applied research. This is also seen in the scientific program of the previous workshops.
