SPIE Optical Engineering + Applications 2027 in San Diego

Optical Engineering + Applications is one of the technical symposiums held during SPIE Optics + Photonics, the annual meeting of the international optics and photonics community in San Diego. The conference brings together researchers, engineers, and industry professionals who work on classical optical research and development, optical design, and applied optical engineering. The program spans technologies and systems used in space, information processing, remote sensing, and illumination engineering. Attendees present and discuss technical papers, attend courses, and meet suppliers at the three-day exhibition that runs alongside the symposium. For 2027, SPIE Optics + Photonics adds a fourth symposium, expanding coverage to space and ground telescopes, UV/x-ray/gamma-ray astronomy, and exoplanet detection. The event is held at the San Diego Convention Center, within walking distance of downtown hotels and waterfront attractions. Registration, the technical program, and exhibition details are published on the official SPIE website.
