Welcome to MWP 2025
We have a pleasure to invite you to attend the International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics (MWP 2025) that will take place in Québec City from October 14th to October 17th, 2025. The Québec City Convention Centre located in a prime area surrounded by world‐class hotels and tourist attractions, including the historic district of Old Québec.
MWP 2025 is the premier international meeting on microwave photonic devices, systems, and applications.
The broadband, low-loss transmission capability of optical fiber links has led to much interest in their use in the distribution and control of microwave and millimeter-wave signals. Application areas include antenna remoting for wireless data and cellular radio systems, optically controlled phased array antennas, optical processing of microwave signals and broadband cable television distribution. Photonics enables new microwave system functions such as long delays lines, fast spectrum analysis, frequency conversion, probing and control of microwave devices, low phase-noise oscillators, and ultra-fast analog-to-digital converters. Conversely, microwave techniques are enabling new generations of optical communication systems with capabilities exceeding 1 Tb/s/fiber.
Associated with the evolution of these systems is the development of high-speed optical sources, modulators and detectors with bandwidths extending into the millimeter-wave region.
MWP provides a forum for the presentation of new advances in this multi-disciplinary research area, ranging from novel devices to systems field trials. It is held annually and rotates between the Americas, the Asia-Pacific region and Europe.
Québec City is the only fortified city in North America and the oldest city on the continent north of the Mexican border. Founded in 1608, the city is famous for its European character and magnificent landscapes, which make it a highly valued and internationally recognized tourist destination. Québec City also proudly appears on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
The local, program and advisory committees are working to prepare an exciting and outstanding conference.
We look forward to welcome you for your next conference in the beautiful city of Quebec!
