Following the tradition established in 1978, the European Semiconductor Laser Workshop (ESLW) 2019 will be held in Cork, Ireland, on September 27th and 28th, 2019 directly after the 45th European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication (ECOC-2019) in Dublin (September 22nd to 26th).

The workshop will be hosted by University College Cork and will provide an informal forum for sharing the most recent results and achievements in the field of semiconductor lasers and their related devices and technology. The workshop will take the form of invited talks and contributed presentations, in both oral and poster form. It should be a great opportunity to find new collaborators and to strengthen existing friendships.
