Background Light plays a vital role in our daily life and is important cutting across various disciplines of science. Light science and light based technologies have revolutionized the modern world in a number of sectors such as health, communication, energy and so on. Realising the contributions of light science and applications to today's society, United Nations in its 68th session of general assembly in December 2013, proclaimed the year 2015 as the "International year light and light-based technologies (IYL2015)". In line with celebration of IYL 2015, last year's nobel prizes in Physics and Chemistry were also awarded to two different light based methods/technologies. The department of Physics, IIT Guwahati with the financial support from KIC-CET, IIT Guwahati is organizing a one day symposium to celebrate IYL 2015 on 31st October 2015. The one day event comprises invited talks by renown scientist in the field of optics, report on optics research in the region, panel discussion and a poster session by the participants. The best posters in the student category will be awarded.
