WFCES 2025 - VII INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC FORUM ON COMPUTER AND ENERGY SCIENCES
Special Symposium on Photonics for Energy, Sensing & Imaging

Prague, Czech Republic — 29-30 November 2025,
Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Kamýcká 129, 165 00 Praha 6 Suchdol, Czech Republic
WFCES 2025 — Special Symposium (SPIE-ready)

About the Symposium

Within the broad umbrella of WFCES, this focused SPIE-aligned symposium exclusively welcomes contributions in optics, photonics, optoelectronics, and optical computation applied to energy, sensing, imaging, aerospace and Earth observation. Now in its seventh edition, WFCES continues to unite researchers and industry experts to address real-world challenges through rigorous science and engineering.

  • Language: English
  • Format: Full papers with oral or poster presentation (no-show papers are excluded from proceedings)
  • Publisher (intended): Proceedings of SPIE (subject to publisher’s final approval and timely delivery of a complete, peer-reviewed camera-ready set)

Symposium Scope (SPIE-ready)

Optical Physics, Quantum Electronics & Photonics
Lasers, nonlinear & quantum optics, ultrafast phenomena, optical communications.
Photonic Sensing & Precision Optical Metrology
Optical sensors, LiDAR, fiber-optic systems, interferometry, hyperspectral & spectroscopic methods for energy and industrial monitoring.
Computational Imaging, Vision & Optical AI
Image/signal processing for optical data, compressive & computational imaging, reconstruction & inverse problems, machine learning for optical systems.
Remote Sensing, Earth Observation & Aerospace Optics
Payload optics, hyperspectral/thermal imaging, atmospheric/terrain sensing, calibration/validation, on-board optical processing.
Integrated Photonics, Optoelectronics & Semiconductor Photonics
Photonic integrated circuits, III–V & Si photonics, detectors, modulators, photonic crystals, plasmonics.
Photonics for Energy & Environment
Photovoltaics & solar photonics, optical diagnostics in power engineering, photonic materials for energy conversion, environmental spectroscopy.
Materials & Nanostructures for Photonics
