25-27 MAY 2026 • MATSUE, JAPAN

The Advances in Optics and Photonics – An International Conference will take place in the beautiful city of Matsue, Japan, from May 25-27, 2026 chaired by Prof. Koji Sugioka from the RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics, Japan. This event will bring together leading experts, researchers, and professionals to explore the latest advancements and breakthroughs in the fields of optics and photonics.

Matsue, the "City of Water," is a scenic gem in Japan's Shimane Prefecture, nestled between Lake Shinji and Nakaumi. Famous for Matsue Castle, one of Japan’s few original feudal castles, it offers rich samurai history, serene canals, and stunning sunsets. The city celebrates Lafcadio Hearn, a beloved writer who lived there, and boasts exquisite wagashi (Japanese sweets), making it a perfect blend of culture, nature, and tradition.

The primary aim of the conference is to create a dynamic forum where participants can come together to share their latest research findings, discuss emerging trends, and foster collaborations that will drive the future of optical and photonic technologies. The conference will feature a series of meticulously curated technical sessions, workshops, and panel discussions covering a wide range of topics within the realm of optics and photonics.

It is going to be an inspiring and intellectually enriching event that will significantly impact the future of optics and photonics. Join us in Matsue from May 25-27, 2026, for an unforgettable journey into the world of optics and photonics.

We look forward to welcoming you at AdvOptiX-2026 in, Matsue, Japan.
