The XI International conference on photonics and information optics was carried in January 26-28, 2022 via videoconference. Organizers of the conference: The Russian Academy of Sciences and National Research Nuclear University «MEPhI» (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute). Chairmen of program committee: member of Presidium of the RAS, president of IRE RAS, academician Gulyaev Yu.V. and head of the department of NRNU MEPhI, professor Evtikhiev N.N. Chairman of organizing committee – director of Institute of Laser and Plasma Technologies of NRNU MEPhI, professor Kuznetsov A.P. Conference themes: coherent and nonlinear optics, fiber and integrated optics, optics of crystals and acousto-optics, interaction of radiation with matter and optical materials, nano- ana biophotonics, holography and digital optics, optical communication and optoelectronic data processing, element base and applied photonics. Information support of the conference is provided by Russian journals Quantum Electronics and Photonics Russia.
The program included 312 reports of scientists from NRNU MEPhI, from the organizations of the Moscow region (MSU, MIPT, NUST «MISIS», PFUR, MIREA, Bauman MSTU, MAI, MPEI, MTUSI.

In total there were reports from 172 organizations, from them from 73 higher education institutes, 33 institutes of the RAS, 14 scientific research institutes, 14 scientific production and 2 education organizations from Russia, 20 (10 education and 10 scientific production) organizations from the CIS and 14 organizations from leader countries of European Union (Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Finland), Egypt, Taiwan, China and USA.
The conference included 12 meetings in total: 2 plenary sessions and 8 section meetings, also 4 sessions were held, during which in the conference chat were discussed online the materials of the reports included in the conference program. Languages of conference – Russian and English. The proceedings of conference were published. Best reports were recommended for publication in the form of articles in the reviewed magazines.
The XI International Conference on Photonics and Information Optics continued traditions of the previous forums. These forums were an effective platform for discussing new ideas in this field of science and technology for several decades. The XI International Conference on Photonics and Information Optics was conducted in remote format. This format did not reduce the overall level of the conference. It made possible even more effective communications between researchers living in different cities and countries. Both leader scientists and young researchers participated in the conference. This conference confirmed that the photonics and information optics are important directions of science and technology and they are still developing.
