OSA Laser Congress Highlights Latest Advances in Solid State Lasers, Free-space Laser Communication, Laser-based Sensing and Numerous Industrial Applications
The 2017
OSA Laser Congress will offer a comprehensive view of the latest
advancements in solid state lasers and other related technology. The
conference program is comprised of a global audience of laser leaders
and comprehensive, peer-reviewed presentations. Market-focused sessions
describe the needed technological and engineering advancements required
to move these laser technologies into commercial products.
WHAT: OSA
LASER CONGRESS WHEN: 1-5 October 2017, Technical
Conference 2-5 October 2017, Exhibition WHERE: Nagoya
Convention Center, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan
JOINT PLENARY PRESENTATIONS The 2017 OSA Laser Congress will
include invited plenary presentations by Robert L. Byer and Katsumi
Midorikawa. Byer is the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Applied
Physics at Stanford
University, California, USA and Midorikawa is the Director of RIKEN
Center for Advanced Photonics, Saitama, Japan. The plenary
presentation will take place on 2 October, 8:00-9:30 am Nagoya
Convention Center, Nagoya, Japan.
Robert L. Byer, Stanford University, USA Einstein,
Lasers, Black Holes and Gravitational Waves On September 14,
2015 the two LIGO detectors nearly simultaneously detected gravitational
wave signals from two merging Black Holes at more than one billion light
years distance. Numerical relativity models confirmed the waveform came
from two Black Holes of 29 and 36 solar masses merged to create a final
Black Hole with mass 62 and in the process of merging in less than 1/5
second radiated gravitational waves with more than 3 solar masses of
energy.
LIGO and Advanced LIGO requirements were met and enabled by advances in
solid state lasers including a single frequency laser oscillator and
quantum noise limited amplification. This presentation will give the
history of LIGO and the direct detection of gravitational waves.
Katsumi Midorikawa, RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics, Japan High-Order
Harmonics: Application and Prospects Nearly thirty years have
passed since the first observation of high-order harmonic generation
(HHG). Although there has been strong interest in related physical
phenomena, many researchers expected that HHG would not be useful as a
practical source at that time because of its small photon number
associated with low conversion efficiency. Contrary to their
expectations, however, HHG is now established as a high-output coherent
light source in the XUV region and the sole source of attosecond pulses.
Midorikawa will share recent efforts on generation of high harmonics and
applications including ultrafast XUV science and EUV optics/mask
insection.

COLLOCATED MEETINGS
The Laser Applications Conference (LAC)
is a three-day meeting focused on two main topic areas - materials
processing and applications for high power lasers. Materials
processing will cover advanced applications for industrial use while the
applications for high power lasers will include topics such as: EUV for
lithography, 16kW+ laser applications, X-Ray generation, lasers for
space applications and tool making. One of the themes of this meeting
will be to initiate discussions on what engineering and production
advances are needed to translate promising technological advances into
marketable products.
The Advanced Solid State Lasers Conference (ASSL)
highlights new sources, advanced technologies, components and system
design to improve the operation and application of solid state lasers.
It covers the spectrum of solid state lasers from materials research to
applied science and design innovations
MEDIA REGISTRATION: Media/analyst registration for OSA Laser
Congress 2017 can be arranged by emailing [email protected].
