ICSO 2020 | 19-23 October 2020 | Antibes Juan-les-Pins, France
ICSO 2020 is the 13th edition of the largest meeting worldwide of experts working in all disciplines of Optical, Optoelectronic and Photonic Technologies for Space Applications.
New !
Now, the ICSO Proceedings in the SPIE Digital Library!
In order to enhance the dissemination of the papers published in ICSO the conference organisers decided to collaborate with the SPIE and publish all the ICSO papers in the SPIE Digital Library. A dedicated webpage https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/icso files all the ICSO proceedings. Now, all ICSO papers acquire a « Digital Object Identifier » and will be scanned by all the big academic search engines in a far more elaborated way. Furthermore, the papers will be published in « open access » which means that the visibility will be increased markedly. This will maintain the basic value of our conference in providing easy and free access to its contents to the Space Optics Community.
CEAS Space Journal
The CEAS Space Journal includes a distinct field on “Optical, Optoelectronics and Photonics” and welcomes papers of ICSO in an extended version of the conference paper including theoretical analysis. Consider an electronic submission through the Journal website.
ISSO
The International School on Space Optics-ISSO is the sister event of ICSO targeting to offer a comprehensive overview of the Science and Engineering of Space Optics to young scientists and engineers interested in the field. It is held biannually alternating with ICSO. For more information, see the ISSO-2019 website.
ICSO is a collaborating event with the International Conference on Space Optics Systems and Applications – ICSOS, a conference that focuses exclusively on Free Space Optical Communications. ICSOS takes place on the odd-numbered years and alternates between Japan and the USA. The last ICSOS meeting took place 14-16 October 2019 in Portland, Oregon, US.

History
The purpose of ICSO is to bring together the Space Optics Community and exchange information and ideas on the Research, Development, Qualification and Flight Experience of using optical technologies
for space missions. Technology experts meet Mission experts to address the lessons learnt from past developments and identify the next significant developments in employing lightwave technologies and techniques used in all types of Space Missions.
