The objective of this symposium is to bring together leading specialists and young scientists working on various aspects of optics, to discuss the most recent developments in that area. OPTICS-2014 will combine: invited plenary lectures, sectional reports, presentations of young scientists (there will be special awards from the SPIE Armenian Students Chapter for the best student’s contributions), poster presentations, laboratory tours, exhibition and excursion.
