High-Brightness Sources and Light-Driven Interactions Congress 2020

Update 4/3/20:  The program committee has expressed a preference to have this meeting later this year, and OSA is currently exploring venues in Prague for the late November or early December time frame.

Comprised of three OSA Topical Meetings, the goal of the Congress is to broaden your views on the latest advances in high-brightness sources, attosecond science, light-driven interactions and mid-IR laser technologies. Attendees will understand the technical challenges in the development of high-brightness sources at all wavelengths, from x-ray to mid-IR.

Topics will include:Compact Light Sources — At this meeting the latest results in the development of these sources will be presented as well as descriptions of efforts to mature the technology so that they meet the requirements needed in order to transition the technology to industrial and medical applications.

Conference topics will include relevant applications and source concepts and technologies in the EUV through hard-ray regime.

High-Intensity Lasers and High-Field Phenomena  — The High-Intensity Sources and High-Field Phenomena (HILAS) meeting aims to assemble a multidisciplinary community to present and exchange novel ideas and breakthrough achievements relating to the physics and technology of high field sources, and high-intensity laser-matter interaction.

Mid-Infrared Coherent Sources — This meeting will be focused on the most recent advances in mid-IR to THz science and technology, including the latest developments in solid-state, fiber, and semiconductor materials, novel laser sources, nonlinear frequency conversion techniques and parametric devices, as well as the application of mid-IR and THz sources in remote sensing, spectroscopy, frequency synthesis, imaging, and biomedicine.
