Special sessions

LPM Special Session 1: Laser materials processing in liquids

Session organizers:

Dr. Carlos Doñate Buendia, University Jaume I (UJI), Spain

Dr. Takahiro Nakamura, illuminus Inc., Japan

Prof. Hiroshi Yoshikawa, Osaka University, Japan

Prof. habil. Dr.-Ing. Stephan Barcikowski, University Duisburg-Essen, Germany

Short Description:

Laser materials processing in liquids represents the basis of disruptive manufacturing technologies such as laser ablation and fragmentation in liquids for nanomaterials fabrication, laser crystallization, linear and nonlinear photopolymerization, or laser surface texturing in liquid media. The versatility and unique physicochemical conditions achievable during laser processing in liquids allows multi-scale manufacturing of functional nano/microstructures and macro metric devices employed in catalysis, energy or bio-applications. This special session englobes the fundamentals of laser processing in liquid media, the generation of nanoparticles and microstructures, and their applications.

LPM Special Session 2: Ultrashort pulse laser processing of transparent materials

Session organizers:

Dr. Gediminas Račiukaitis, FTMC, Lithuania

Dr. Razvan Stoian, St Etienne University, France

Dr. Paulius Gecys, FTMC, Lithuania

Short Description:

The session is intended to discuss fundamentals of ultra-short pulse (USP) laser interaction with transparent materials, as well as processes on glass cutting, milling, internal modifications to practical application like through glass vias, burst-mode drilling, shaped beams for dedicated processes, etc..
