On June 22–26, 2026, Saint Petersburg hosted the largest photonics conference in Eastern Europe, the International Conference Laser Optics (ICLO 2026). This traditional event, held every two years since the 1970s, once again brought together leading researchers from around the world. This year the conference attracted more than 1,000 participants and more than 800 presentations from 17 countries, both in person and online. It was organized by the Laser Physics Foundation with technical support from the IEEE Photonics Society and the assistance of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Saint Petersburg.
Our team gave 9 talks at the conference. Lidia Mikhailova spoke about light-activated immunomodulation using polymer carriers with gold nanorods. Daria Sennikova presented results on pulsed laser ablation in a liquid flow for generating silicon nanoparticles. Nikolaj Zhestkij gave a talk on optical modulation of SHG intensity in single crystals of metal–organic frameworks. Alexander Loshkarev gave two talks, on Raman spectroscopy for detecting amino acids and on laser fabrication of TiO2-based SERS substrates. Elena Gerasimova spoke about hybrid nanomaterials for optical heating and thermometry of biological objects. Arina Cherednikova presented a study of carbon dot photoluminescence quenching by multimetallic ionic systems. Ivan Reznik reported on the microfluidic synthesis of AgInS2/ZnS quantum dots for biomedicine. Sabina Bikmetova gave a talk on separating Mie-resonant silicon nanoparticles with microfluidic methods. Artem Larin presented a study of second harmonic generation hysteresis in Si/Au structures as a manifestation of a memory effect.
Taking part in ICLO is not only a chance to present our results internationally but also an important step in building research collaborations. Our researchers showed a high level of work and represented the center with dignity.
