One-day Meeting:
Diode lasers lie at the heart of most optoelectronic systems today. Advances in the capabilities of both conventional solid state lasers and fibre lasers are being driven by improvements in power, mode structure, brightness and reliability of high-power diode pump lasers.
This event will highlight recent advances in diode pumped solid-state lasers covering topics from the advanced and novel laser pump diodes through to the applications of solid state laser systems. The meeting will serve as a flagship for presenting outstanding work in industry and universities.
Programme
Cost to attend: £85 plus VAT (£65 plus VAT for members) - which includes lunch.
