Plan to Participate It is our pleasure to welcome your participation at the eighth SPIE 2021 International Symposium on Optics + Optoelectronics. The symposium GENERAL CHAIRS offers multiple opportunities to advance your research. An excellent Bedřich Rus ELI Beamlines technical programme has been prepared and organized within two and Institute of programme tracks: Emerging Technologies and Research with Extreme Physics, ASCR Light Sources. v.v.i. (Czech Close to 800 presentations in 2019 prove that this event is recognized Republic) as an important forum for science, government, and industry to access and share information on optical technologies. The event focuses Sasa Bajt Deutsches specifically on the research aspects of optics and optoelectronics science Elektronen- and technology, with a special emphasis on the existing and upcoming Synchrotron European and international laser infrastructures. (Germany) The symposium features plenary sessions focusing on the current hot topics, fifteen conferences, and two workshops. With lab tours planned, the programme promises an exciting week, with excellent science Ivo Rendina and technology in a setting conducive to international interchange, CNR/Istituto per la networking, and exchanging ideas. The diversity and breadth of cultural, Microelettronica e scientific and economic capacities of the city have contributed to Microsistemi selecting Prague as the host for Optics+Optoelectronics: (Italy) • Prague is home to the ELI Beamlines facility, the gateway to new Chris Edwards regimes in fundamental physics by extreme light. The facility Central Laser utilizes high-power, high-repetition-rate lasers for high-field physics Facility, Science experiments and for generation of high-intensity sources of radiation and Technology and particles. As an international laser user facility, it opens a new era Facilities Council of laser-based research, attracting the world’s best scientists to unique (United Kingdom) research opportunities. Mike Dunne • The city continues to be an important centre for research; it is the home SLAC National of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and the headquarters of the Institute Accelerator Lab. of Physics, the Institute of Photonics and Electronics, the Institute (United States) of Plasma Physics, the Institute of Experimental Medicine, BIOCEV European Biotechnology and Biomedicine Center, among others. • As the capital, Prague is not only the cultural and tourist nexus of the nation, but also the economic one. Prague and the Czech Republic is a base to many international companies including HP, Boeing, Oracle, Honeywell, Avast, Thermo Fisher, Microsoft Innovation Center, and Siemens. We invite you to share the most recent developments and applications at SPIE Optics + Optoelectronics 2021. Explore the city’s history from the science perspective and discover the Prague footprints by Tycho de Brahe, Johannes Kepler, Ernst Mach, Christian Doppler, Bernard Bolzano, Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Jaroslav Heyrovský, or Otto Wichterle. Join us for this exciting meeting in the beautiful city of Prague! 1

CALL FOR PAPERS The conference is not limited to the visible parts of the electromagnetic spectrum but also the emerg- ing area of matter waves, e.g. holographic neutron optics. The conference accepts submission dealing with recording media and processing methods, ap- plications and signal processing. Talks describing commercial materials, systems and applications are encouraged While all aspects of holography (aca- demic and commercial) are of interest we strongly encourage submissions dealing with novel appli- cation and the optical engineering aspects of ho- lography. This conference is dedicated to bringing together a multidisciplinary and international mix- ture of research professionals, developers and us- ers of holographic techniques, devices and systems including students and those in product develop- ment and senior management positions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • advances in holographic techniques (materials, algorithms, devices and systems) • holographic interference techniques for fabrication and metrology • digital holography: the capture, transmission, processing and electronic storage of holograms • computer generated holograms and diffractive optics: modelling and analysis • digital processing of holograms and interferometric data • holography in nanotechnology • novel materials and their characterization methods for holographic applications • real-time and active holographic recording (modelling, materials and processes) • dynamically switchable holograms Save the date (implementations and applications) ABSTRACTS DUE: • security holography 10 NOVEMBER 2020 • holographic 3D imaging, microscopy, AUTHOR NOTIFICATION: tomography, displays and wearables (Internet 8 JANUARY 2021 of Things, IoT) The contact author will be notified of • elements and systems used for the acceptance by email. holographic storage of digital information • holographic applications for non- MANUSCRIPTS DUE: 24 MARCH 2021 electromagnetic waves.
