International Conference on Optical Fiber Sensors (OFS), founded in 1983, is the premier global event for photonic sensing principles and fiber optic technologies. It serves as a valuable platform for sharing the latest advancements and has played a crucial role in the industrialization and standardization of related devices and systems.

Since the early 1980s, the potential for high-performance optical fiber sensing has fostered a dedicated R&D community, leading to the first meeting in London in April 1983, known as OFS1. Since then, the conference has occurred every 18 months (except during the pandemic), traveling across Europe, the Americas, and Asia/Pacific under the guiding principle of “following the light” (the Sun).
Over more than 40 years, the field has grown significantly due to advancements in various scientific and technological areas, highlighting the diverse applications where optical fiber sensing offers distinct advantages.

📍 The upcoming OFS29 will take place in Porto, Portugal, from May 25-30, 2025 in Super Book Arena, Jardins do Palácio de Cristal.

Wires&Bytes is looking forward to taking part in plenary and invited talks, contributed presentations, workshops, and exhibitions of commercial products.
We will showcase our optical fiber-based products designed for strain and shape sensing, which play a crucial role in monitoring the structural health of critical assets. These innovations enhance safety for individuals while preserving the integrity of unique landscapes.

Register and meet us there at Booth T.
Let’s follow the light together!
