Multiwave is a sponsor of and will be present at GCL - HPL 2008 / XVII International Symposium on Gas Flow and Chemical Lasers & High Power Lasers 2008.

 

José R. Salcedo, CEO of Multiwave, will present the invited talk “Recent progress in pulsed fiber lasers for materials processing and remote sensing”.

 

The Keynote Speaker for the conference is Prof. Anthony E. Siegman, Stanford University, and also an Advisor to Multiwave.

 

The XVII International Symposium on Gas Flow and Chemical Lasers & High-Power Laser Conference, GCL&HPL 2008, will be held in the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, Portugal, from the 15th to 19th of September, 2008. For over thirty years, GCL&HPL has provided an excellent opportunity for researchers in gas, chemical and high power lasers, along with the end-users of these lasers to exchange ideas, review the state-of-the-art and foresee emerging trends within the field. Its scope is broad, including fundamental research, laser development, systems engineering and gas, chemical and high power laser applications in a wide range of fields.

 

This year’s symposium will place a particular emphasis on the fields of nanophotonics applications and microprocessing using ultra-short pulse duration lasers. Following the tradition of precedent editions, the meeting will bring together scientists and engineers from all over the world to create an event where members of the laser community can meet to discuss the latest achievements and to initiate new contacts and collaborations. Keynote and Invited presentations will highlight important research trends in a wide spectrum of topics.
