| Summary: | Fiber Optics celebrates 50th anniversary of development in Poland. The conferences on Optical Fibers and Their Applications, organized in the country for 50 years, have played an important role in the development of the national scientific and technical community of optical fiber technology, or as we call it today, optical fiber photonics. This branch of photonics includes optical fiber telecommunications and instrumental photonics, including optical fiber components and sensors. Each optical fiber system requires an ultra-low-loss, or specialized, transmission medium in the form of a fiber or planar optical waveguides. The medium can be active or passive, sensitive or insensitive to external influences. Optical fiber spatially limits the spread of an optical wave using the refractive method or using a photonic band gap. To build a modern optical fiber system, light sources and detectors are necessary, as well as various optical and photonic components, preferably integrated or optical fiber, and not necessarily volumetric. Volume solutions in photonic systems are being gradually abandoned due to the reduction of costs and workload, and the increase in the reliability of photonic components and systems. The conference has published its materials in the Proc.SPIE publishing series for many years and is known internationally as Optical Fibers and Their Applications OFTA. The XXI OFTA2025 Conference gathered over 60 participants and over 50 papers and posters were presented. The article reviews the proceedings of the OFTA2025 conference. A version of this paper in Polish was published in Elektronika Monthly by SEP. |
