We invite you to the 10th instalment of the Biennial Photonics Ireland Conference. Photonics Ireland is the premier event in Ireland bringing together key people in the academic and industry sectors to present state of the art research and challenges in the area of photonics, on national and international levels. The organising committees would welcome new topics where relevant to the thematic area of the conference being brought forward for suggestion, and of course new participants in this conference series.
