Advanced Photonics forum is organized by the highly selective journal Advanced Photonics (AP), which is co-published by Chinese Laser Press (CLP) and SPIE.

Since its inaugural five years ago, AP has adhered to the goal of publishing cutting-edge research and guiding the development of its field. It has published numerous influential review articles recognized as "must-reads" for newcomers in the field, as well as original research papers that lead the discipline's progress and hold significant innovative value. The journal has also initiated high-level international academic conferences. In 2021, the journal was indexed by SCI, with the latest impact factor of 20.6, ranking top 3 among 98 optical SCI journals worldwide and in the first quartile (Q1) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' journal ranking list for optics. It is also classified as a T1 journal in the ranking directory of scientific journals published by the Chinese Optical Engineering Society.

In 2024, the 5th Anniversary Forum of Advanced Photonics (AP) will be held on November 9 at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. This forum is co-organized by the Chinese Laser Press and the Photonics Research Institute of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
