The 17th Pacific Rim Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO-PR 2026) was held at the Beijing International Convention Center from August 2 to 6, 2026. Professors Fang Liu, Kaiyu Cui and Hao Sun attended the conference and delivered invited talks entitled “Chip-integrated free electron radiation light sources”, “On-chip Spectral Imaging and Sensing”, and “Erbium Compound Nanomaterials for On‑Chip Optoelectronics: Nanolasers and Photodetectors”, respectively. They highlighted the laboratory’s latest research advances in free-electron radiation, on-chip spectral imaging chips, and erbium-compound based on-chip optoelectronic devices, which drew extensive attention from participating scholars.

The Pacific Rim Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO-PR) is one of the most influential international academic forums for lasers and electro-optics across the Pacific Rim, covering relevant research fields in this discipline. CLEO-PR 2026 featured eighteen parallel sessions, spanning broad topics including laser physics, nanophotonics, metasurfaces, fiber technologies, terahertz photonics, optical computing, high-power lasers, nonlinear optics, biophotonics, and quantum photonics.
