Laser Applications Conference – Panels

Look for more information coming soon regarding panel descriptions and invited speakers within each session.

 

Brittle Materials Processing

Organizer: Stuart McLean, Coherent Corp., USA

Description will be available soon.

 

EUV, X-Ray Generation & Particle Acceleration

Organizer: Lahsen Assoufid, Argonne National Laboratory, USA

The rapid progress in extreme-power laser technology opened a path to the development of a new generation of small-scale EUV, X-ray and Gamma-ray light sources with unprecedented brightness and short pulses. These sources, which could fit on a tabletop or in a small-scale laboratory, will revolutionize many industrial, research, medical, defense and security applications. This session focuses on the latest developments, needs and challenges in high-power laser technologies tailored to methods for short (EUV, X- and Gamma-ray) wavelength generation and particle acceleration.

 

Fusion Energy

Organizer: Vincent Issier, MKS Insturments Inc., USA

Description will be available soon.

 

Global Security and Directed Energy

Organizer: Sandra Biedron, Element Aero and the Center for Bright Beams, USA

High-energy and high-lasers continue to mature and have myriad applications related to security and defense. This session will provide an overview of applications, such as directed energy, remote sensing,  securing the microelectronics supply chain, wavelength accessibility, and aspects  of unique user-accessible facilities for collaborative research and development. The session will also explore aspects of the workforce as well as supply chain for this unique sector of lasers and peripherals for global security.
