The focus of the conference will be on:
• Optical metrology and measurement systems
• Optical design and opto-mechanical system design
• Photonic sensors and systems for industry and life sciences
• Optics in production (laser material processing, additive manufacturing)
• Miniaturized optical systems for industrial applications: design, realization, testing
• Optics for automotive applications
• Ultraprecision- and nanometrology

The DGaO invites the submission of oral presentations (12 min plus 3 min discussion) and posters from the list of topics above or from the general field of applied optics. Please use the online system at
