Ultrashort Pulse Laser Materials Interaction Workshop 2003 |
|
25-26 September 2003 |
Bolder, Colorado | |
|
|
|
The Ultrashort Pulse Laser Materials Interaction Workshop provides a forum for the presentation
of the state-of-the-art ultrashort laser technology and ultrashort laser effects; including laser
materials interaction, and other laser effects. A better understand the existing ultrashort
technology will determine the utility of ultrashort lasers for applications within the defense
industry. Understanding the ultrashort pulse laser materials interaction provides a foundation
for determining the applicability of ultrashort pulses for diagnostic, material fabrication, and
inspection applications in civilian contexts as well.
The Ultrashort Laser Workshop brought
together government, industry, and academic leaders for discussions of basic and applied research
and technology efforts and the future of ultrashort lasers for military and other applications.
Technical presentations covered a diverse spectrum of interests including DOE and DoD laboratories,
industry, and other scientific and engineering institutions.
