About

Photonics is a critical technology for space applications, playing a vital role in areas such as telecommunications, earth observation, and space exploration. It enables high-speed, low-power communications, remote sensing, imaging, navigation and guidance, and health monitoring. Photonics technology also plays a role in quantum communication which is a secure method of communication that is of high importance for space field. Following forecasts, the use of photonics in space is expected to continue to grow and evolve as the technology advances, opening up new horizons for research and development as well as for applications in this field. This EPIC meeting at Exail “Photonics for Space: opening new horizons”, will discuss the latest developments and challenges in the use of photonics technology for various space-related applications. The event will include discussions on topics such as space optical communication, PICs for space, earth and planetary monitoring, and space exploration. The event aims to bring together experts in the field to share their knowledge and expertise, to explore new opportunities for research and development in this exciting area as well as to provide efficient networking sessions to participants.
