Season's greetings, and we wish you all the best for the holiday season.

As a contributor to one of the peer-reviewed journals of the International Laser Physics Portal (Laser Physics and Laser Physics Letters), we would like to briefly inform you about an upcoming international conference that forms part of the same scientific ecosystem.

The 34^th Annual International Conference on Laser Physics (LPHYS'26) will be held from July 6 to July 10, 2026 in Belén, Heredia, Costa Rica, at the Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belén, hosted by the University of Costa Rica (UCR).

LPHYS is an international conference covering fundamental and applied aspects of laser physics, including laser-matter interaction, strong-field and ultrafast phenomena, nonlinear and quantum optics, laser-based technologies, and emerging directions at the interface of photonics and related disciplines. The scientific programme is structured through specialised thematic seminars, providing a focused yet interdisciplinary forum for discussion and exchange.

Further information is available on the conference website: LPHYS'26 Conference Website.

Registration is open, and conference fee payment for 2026 is now available.

• Pre-registration form
• Pay via PayPal on your Participant Personal Page (pre-registration required)
