Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics 2024 (CLEO2024) was held on May 5-10, 2024 at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, U.S.A. The Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) has a long history as the leading event in the laser science industry. As the premier international forum for optical science and technology, CLEO brings together the fields of lasers and optoelectronics by integrating all aspects of laser technology from basic research to industrial applications. CLEO's comprehensive and peer-reviewed technical agenda and market-oriented program make it the world's leading international forum for learning about innovative advances, research, and emerging technologies in laser science. Covering everything from quantum computing to cutting-edge imaging technologies for exploring new life and planets in the universe, the conference brings together all branches of photonics.

Bitao Shen and Yimeng Wang, Ph.D. students of our group, went to the United States to attend this conference and presented their results in this conference. Yimeng Wang presented her work on high gain erbium-doped lithium niobate optical waveguide amplifiers, which was selected as "Highlighted Talk".

Bitao Shen presented his work on Sagnac rings for self-injection-locked lasers and microcomb generation. Zihan Tao presented his work on dynamic photonic molecular switching based on a single microresonator.
