The 6th ICOAM will take place in June 2022 in Tampere, Finland!
ICOAM 2022 is the 6th conference of the series, which is bringing together scientists whose research is focusing on structured light in a broad sense. The optical angular momentum attached to certain structures, i.e. twisted wavefronts, might be the most well-known property but certainly, it is only one of the many peculiar features characterizing these states of light. Besides the fundamentally interesting properties, structured light is highly appealing for a vast field of applications ranging from light-matter interactions to quantum information, to imaging and microscopy. Over the last decades, the field has also branched out into various directions, such as nonlinear optics, optical communication and matter-wave phenomena, which are topics similarly covered by the conference.
The list of invited speakers can be found here.
The upcoming meeting in Tampere will provide the opportunity for researchers to share their latest results and discuss new ideas about the future directions yet to be explored.

- Fundamentals of optical angular momentum
- Structured light
