The deadline for the paper submission of all invited, oral and poster presenters is the first day of the symposium, May 11th, 2004. We invite all authors to bring their original manuscripts to the symposium site, with one original manuscript, plus two copies, instead of sending them to SPIE by mail. Camera ready manuscripts are only acceptable.

Manusript Guideline [MS-Word] [pdf]
Symposium proceedings was published from SPIE. Please contact LPM Office at teraoka@jlps.gr.jp .
Manuscript due dates must be strictly observed. Late manuscripts run the risk of not being published in the proceedings.
To ensure a high-quality conference, all submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by the Program Committee for technical merit and content prior to publication as a Proceedings of SPIE.
Miniaturization and high precision are rapidly becoming a requirement on many industrial processes and products. As result, there is greater interest in the use of laser microfabrication approaches to achieve these goals. The International Symposium on Laser Precision Microfabrication (LPM), is annually held to provide a forum for research and technology development in the area of laser micro/nanofabrication. The topics encompass novel developments in hardware, software and in the fundamental chemistry/physics that buttress laser material interaction process. The unique aspect of this conference is the interchange between fundamental research and industrial applications. LPM is held in Japan on even years and in other host countries on odd years. To date, LPM has been successfully hosted in Omiya/Japan (2000), Singapore/Singapore (2001), Osaka/Japan (2002), and Munich/Germany(2003). The 5th meeting of the LPM will be on May 2004 in the ancient Japanese capital Nara.
The aim of LPM2004 is to provide a forum for discussion on the fundamental aspects of laser/material interaction, the state of the art of laser materials processing and in the germination of next-generation ideas that arises from collaborating scientists, end users and laser manufacturers. The LPM2004 Proceedings will be published by SPIE after the event. We extend a welcome and hope that you will join us at LPM2004!

Special Session - 1
"Laser Microfabrication of Glass/Ceramics Materials and Novel Applications"
Session Organizers: Henry Helvajian (The Aerospace Corporation), Kathleen Richardson (CREOL, School of Optics, University of Central Florida)
Lasers can play a strong role in the development of advanced technology devices and in instruments or components where glass or ceramic materials are used as the substrate in lieu of other materials. Lasers processing of glass or ceramic does not always have to be via a brute force energy deposition process. Glass chemistry and structure can be tailored for photosensitivity to enhance laser material processing at specific wavelengths permitting site-selective transformations (i.e. crystallization, phase transformation (amorphization) as well as ablation) that lead to a more controlled approach to material removal or alteration. Certain photo-structurable glass ceramic already exist and micro-fabrication experiments have shown the fidelity enhancement possible.
The LPM 2004 will host a special session that invites glass/material scientists and laser processing experts to submit papers. Papers will be accepted in research or development of glass/ceramic materials designed for optical excitation and in laser processing techniques that use photo-chemical interactions in the glass to advantage. The session will also accept contributions on topics where either the glass or the processing of the glass material via laser photochemical means is used towards realization of components with novel properties for unique applications.

Special Session - 2
"High-power single-mode fiber lasers and their novel applications"
Session Organizers: Isamu Miyamoto (Osaka University), Andreas Tuennermann (Fraunhofer Institute)
Fiber lasers have a lot of advantages such as excellent beam quality, extremely high conversion efficiency and very long life time in comparison with existing lasers such as Nd:YAG lasers and CO2 lasers, and can be operated without maintenance such as water-cooling and optical alignment. Materials processing has been improved very much by the advent of high-power single-mode fiber lasers. The future progress of the laser materials processing, without any doubt, strongly depends on the advance of the fiber laser technology.
LPM2004 hosts special session of "High-power single-mode fiber lasers and applications to novel materials processing". Papers will be accepted in research or development of high-power single-mode fiber lasers with CW and pulsed operations. This session also welcomes scientists and specialists dealing with fundamentals of laser-matter interaction, and novel applications of high-power single-mode fiber lasers to microwelding, microsoldering, microcutting, microdrilling, marking, trimming, surface modifications, sintering and so on.
