Polish Newsletter on Optics and Photonics

Welcome to the 29th edition of PNOFP in which we particularly encourage you to join PARP's initiative to create a catalogue of Polish photonics and microelectronics. Last month also brought the results of competitions and new nominations, which we have been compiling every month for more than two years.

We invite you to read PNOP and share your feedback,
