It will feature keynote addresses\, invited talks\, technica l sessions\, and networking opportunities\, fostering a collaborative envi ronment for knowledge exchange and innovation.\n\nThis symposium offers mu ltifaceted benefits to its participants\, focusing on the following key as pects:\n\nLecture Sessions- Engage with distinguished scientists\, profess ors\, and industry experts as they share insights into cutting-edge resear ch and emerging trends in the mentioned focused areas of Optics and Photon ics.\n\nInteractive Sessions- Benefits from interactive discussions with l eading experts in photonics.\n\nOral Presentations and Poster Sessions- Pa rticipants will have the opportunity to present their research in oral or poster formats\, organised into thematic tracks for focused discussions. B est presentations will be recognised with awards to encourage excellence a nd innovation. Special focus towards Women in Photonics is kept in mind to support more women to participate: Women's Best Poster Awards.\n\nNetwork ing and Discussions- Dedicated sessions for networking with peers\, indust ry professionals\, and invited experts will enable collaborations across r esearch areas. These discussions will address future directions\, challeng es\, and opportunities in advanced photonics\, bridging academia and indus try.\n\nWe believe that the proposed program will effectively contribute t o leveraging the technical understanding of students/researchers/faculties /scholars (about light-based technologies)\, in inspiring and enhancing th e skills/knowledge in helping and nurturing the ideas to do research/teach ing and to make various projects/products based on Light/LASER/Optical Fib re/Photonics Integrated Devices/Quantum photonics.\n\nRoom: LRC Conference Hall \, Bldg: Learning Research Centre (LRC): Ground Floor\, Indian Inst itute of technology (IITI)\, Khandwa Road\, Simrol\, Indore\, Indore\, Ma dhya Pradesh\, India\, 453552 LOCATION:Room: LRC Conference Hall \, Bldg: Learning Research Centre (LRC): Ground Floor\, Indian Institute of technology (IITI)\, Khandwa Road\, S imrol\, Indore\, Indore\, Madhya Pradesh\, India\, 453552 ORGANIZER:photonics_outreach@iiti.ac.in SEQUENCE:55 SUMMARY:Symposium on Advanced Photonics (SAP 2025) URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/508576 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><h4><span style="background-color: rgb(255\, 255\, 255)\; color: rgb(0\, 0\, 0)\; font-family: 'comic sans ms'\, sans-s erif\;"><em><a href="https://events.iiti.ac.in/sap2025/home"><span style=" color: rgb(186\, 55\, 42)\;">About SAP 2025</span></a></em></span></h4>\n< h4><span style="background-color: rgb(255\, 255\, 255)\; color: rgb(0\, 0\ , 0)\; font-family: 'comic sans ms'\, sans-serif\;"><em>SAP 2025 is a prem ier scientific event organised by the Optoelectronic Nanodevice Research L aboratory (ONRL) and Centre for Advanced Electronics (CAE)\, IIT Indore\, with support from Optica Student Chapter (formerly OSA)\, IEEE Photonics S ociety (Madhya Pradesh Section &amp\; Student Chapter)\, and leading indus try partners.
