ANZCOP

The Australian and New Zealand Conference on Optics and Photonics
Chaired by Dr Andy Boes, with Prof Alex Fuerbach as Deputy Chair.

The Australian and New Zealand Conference on Optics and Photonics (ANZCOP) presented annually by the Australian and New Zealand Optical Society (ANZOS) is the primary domestic conference for optics research in our two countries. The ANZCOP series integrates several former events including ACOFT, ACOLS and the AOS conference. The conference is open to submissions from all areas of contemporary photonics and optics.
