On this #ThankYouEditorsTuesday, we'd like to thank our outgoing #OPG_OpEx Deputy Editor Maria Chekhova, @mpi-scienceoflight.bsky.social. Thank you for supporting @opg.optica.org and in particular Optics Express!
Happy #lightday2026
The basic #research conducted by our scientists @ MPL focuses on the interaction between light and matter, with the use and study of #laser #light playing a particularly important role. Do you want to see what inpires us?

#MayThe4thBeWithYou – Happy #StarWarsDay!
While lightsabers remain firmly rooted in the realm of science fiction, MPL’s scientists are actually researching light and its interaction with matter.
May the ( #laser) force be with you!
