Optical coatings nowadays play a much more important role not only in the conventional optical system, but also in the emerging industrial applications. The ultimate optical and non-optical performances such as low loss level, thermal stability, mechanical behavior and laser damage threshold are required. Great progress has been made in almost all aspects but there are still problems and barriers to progress. Thus, their characterization and possible solutions represent important features of this conference.

The conference will be devoted to the frontiers area of optical coatings, with special emphasis on the latest development in this field. Papers on theoretical, experimental and technical aspects covering all the fields will be contributed to the conference. We welcome papers from fundamental and applied research, as well as the development, practical techniques and applications.
