The 2024 IEEE 10th International Conference on Photonics (ICP2024), held under the theme “Next Generation Photonics for a Sustainable World,” took place in the “Pearl of the Orient,” Penang, Malaysia, from August 27th to 29th. This esteemed conference organized by IEEE Photonics Society (IPS) Malaysia Section brought together a diverse group of 100 participants from academia and industry across the globe, providing a platform for presenting research, exchanging ideas, and networking within the field of photonics.
The first day of ICP2024 featured a compelling keynote session by Prof. Neil Broderick from the University of Auckland, who discussed the advancements in nonlinear optics for sensing. This was followed by another insightful keynote by Prof. Debashis Chanda from the University of Central Florida, who presented his research on uncooled infrared cameras.
Day two of ICP2024 continued to impress with a keynote session by Prof. Mohamed Chaker from INRS-Énergie Matériaux Télécommunications, focusing on the latest developments in large-scale, high-quality VO2 thin films. The day also included a fourth keynote session by Ir. M Feizal from PETRONAS, who addressed “Challenges and Future Proofing Industry: An Instrument & Control Perspective.”, sharing insights on the role of photonics in the oil and gas industry.
In addition to the keynote sessions, ICP2024 also featured 18 invited talks across two parallel sessions, covering a wide range of topics including machine learning in photonics, quantum technologies, optical fiber technology, optical sensors, photonics devices, and materials for optical communication. The conference was further enriched by cutting-edge exhibitions from Kabex, Edmund Optics, CADFEM, Wavelength-OptoElectronics, and Evatec, showcasing the latest innovations and technology in photonics.
The engagement between exhibitors and participants was both fruitful and memorable. We look forward to reconvening at ICP2026 and continuing the advancement of photonics research and applications.
