1) "Laser synthesis and processing in liquidsh
Session Organizers (alphabetical):
Tsuyoshi Asahi (Ehime University, Japan); Stephan Barcikowski (University
of Duisburg-Essen, Technical Chemistry and Center for Nanointegration
Duisburg-Essen CENIDE, Germany); Changhao Liang (Chinese Academy of Science,
Hefei, PR China); Myong Yong Choi (Gyeongsang
National University, South Korea); Katharine Tibbetts (Virginia Commonwealth University, USA)
Short Description:
Lasers and liquids form a beautiful liaison: Laser synthesis and
processing of colloids is an emerging field, including laser ablation,
photochemistry, fragmentation, and melting in liquid to create nano- and submicron particles with unparalleled
properties. Application of laser-made nanoparticle building blocks has recently
approached commercialization in the field
of catalysis, and first successful in vivo bio-applications have been
demonstrated. In addition, fundamental studies to discover the underlying
particle formation mechanisms drive this comparably young field. You are highly
welcome to this special session, to present, meet, and vividly discuss the
recent progress.
2) "Laser coloring using short and
ultrashort pulsed lasers"
Session
Organizers:
Andrés
Fabián Lasagni (Technische Universität Dresden, Fraunhofer-Institut für
Werkstoff- und Strahltechnik IWS, Germany); Bogdan Voisiat
(Technische Universität Dresden, Germany)
Short Description:
Producing variable information
marking elements with lasers, has shown to be an important application field in
marking industry. In particular, laser processing with short and ultrashort
pulsed laser sources has been already used to produce a large variety of
decorative elements, safety holograms as well as encrypted information that can
be readable using especial devices. This special session focus on the basics
and principles of laser based fabrication methods, which permit to produce
decorative elements on the surface of different materials. This includes different
technologies, such Laser Induced Periodic Surfaces Structures, Spatial Light
Modulator processing, Direct Laser Interference Patterning and Interference
Lithography between others. Also technologies producing permanent coloration
for instance in metals based on oxidation processes will be considered in this
session.
3) gLaser processing of
glass materials: current status, trends and futureh
Session Organizers:
Tetsuo Kishi (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan); Yves Bellouard
(Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland)
Short Description:
The glass is an indispensable material for optics and photonics because
of its wide optical window from ultraviolet to infrared wavelength region,
various refractive indexes and excellent formability. Nowadays, laser process using pulse or
continuous-wave laser with the various wavelength is used for cutting, welding,
melting, or modifying the glass materials to manufacture various kinds of devices.
The interaction between laser light and glass has still been an exciting and
essential issue in both scientific and technical aspects. We expect that newest results and new
approaches for laser processing of glass materials will be presented and discussed
in the special session, including the mechanism of the induced phenomena and
the functionalities of resulting devices.
