European Optical Society

The purpose of EOS is to contribute to progress in optics and photonics and to promote their applications at the European and international levels.

The EOS was founded on 24 May 1991. The purpose of the society is to contribute to progress in optics and related sciences, and to promote their applications at the European and international levels, by bringing together individuals and legal entities involved in these disciplines and their applications. The European Optical Society (EOS) serves as the joint forum for all individuals, companies, o

rganisations, educational institutions, and learned and professional societies, who recognise the opportunity and challenge that a common European base provides for the development of optics in its broadest sense.

🌟 Science Meets Culture at EOSAM 2026 🌟

Each year, EOSAM visits a different optics and photonics hub, and this year we're heading to Tampere, Finland, where world-class research meets lakes, saunas, and a healthy obsession with ice hockey. 🏒

Tampere is known for its vibrant research and innovation scene, beautiful natural surroundings, and some of the best public saunas. Between conference sessions, you can explore lakeside walking routes, enjoy Finnish cuisine, visit museums, or simply discover what makes Finland the happiest country in the world.

While the conference will feature insights from a Nobel Prize laureate, we cannot guarantee you will have Nobel Prize-winning ideas during your stay. However, what we can promise is plenty of opportunities to recharge, which is often when the best ideas tend to appear, along with an inspiring conference programme. And if discussions about photonics become too intense, just remember that in Finland, the standard recovery protocol is a sauna followed by a jump into a lake.

For a truly Finnish EOSAM experience, join the networking cruise to Viikinsaari, a charming island known for its idyllic lake atmosphere. It is the perfect place to continue scientific discussions, make new connections, and enjoy the scenery. Who knows, your next collaboration might start somewhere between the conference venue and the island.

Whether you come for the science, the networking, the nature, or to investigate why Finns are so good at both photonics and ice hockey, Tampere is ready to welcome you.

📍Discover Photonics in Tampere at EOSAM 2026

Tampere is the third-largest city in Finland, with every fifth resident being a student, making it a vibrant research and innovation hub.

Photonics is a strategic focus area at Tampere University (TAU), which offers an international MSc in Photonics and coordinates national initiatives such as the Research Council of Finland-funded research and innovation platform PREIN, the doctoral education network I-DEEP, and the national photonics infrastructure FinnLight.

Key research areas in Tampere include optoelectronics, laser technology, and imaging. R&D is supported by facilities like the FinnLight infrastructure, the SiPFAB pilot line, and multiple dedicated photonics research groups at TAU.

Tampere is known internationally for its strong imaging technology ecosystem.

🎉 Celebrating 35 Years of the European Optical Society! 🎉

Today, we proudly celebrate 35 years since the founding of the European Optical Society (EOS) on 24 May 1991.

Over the past three and a half decades, EOS has grown into a strong European community connecting researchers, students, companies, institutions, and national societies across the fields of optics and photonics. From supporting scientific exchange and collaboration to promoting innovation and education, EOS has worked to advance optics in its broadest sense at both the European and international levels.

What began with the shared vision of creating a unified European platform for optics has developed into a vibrant network and community shaping the future of photonics and optical sciences.

A heartfelt thank you to all our members, partners, volunteers, conference participants, authors, reviewers, sponsors, and supporters who have contributed to EOS throughout the years. This milestone belongs to all of you.

📰 JEOS-RP Editor’s Pick 📰

The Journal of the European Optical Society – Rapid Publications (JEOS-RP) is an open-access platform covering a wide range of research in optics and photonics. Each month, the Editor-in-Chief highlights an exceptional piece of work.

We’re excited to share the latest Editor’s Pick: "Fano-like resonance in optical fiber"

📖 Authors: Vinicius Piaia, Paulo Robalinho, Susana Silva, and Orlando Frazão
🔗 Read the full article here: J. Eur. Opt. Society - Rapid Publ. 2026, 22, 23 👉 https://doi.org/10.1051/jeos/2026016

Fano resonances were a concept introduced by Ugo Fano in 1935, and later published in 1961 in Physical Review, becoming one of the most cited papers, where a theoretical explanation for the scattering line-shape of inelastic scattering of electrons from helium was given. Fano resonances are a scattering phenomenon characterized by an asymmetric spectrum line due to interference between a continuous background and a single excited state. In this Editor’s Pick, the authors provide a chronological overview of the development and increasing implementation of Fano-type effects in fiber-optic technology, including their implementation in fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) through numerical simulations of resonant Fano behavior. More details in the paper.

📷:
Top figure: Dynamic behavior of the Fano-FBG structure, where the interference between Fresnel and Bragg reflections results in the emergence of a Fano-like reflected spectrum.
Bottom figure: Simulation of modal coupling efficiency: (a) influence of Fresnel reflectivity and (b) influence of the FBG reflected peak intensity on the resulting Fano profile.
