Paper: "Fiber Based Modal Filter for Radially and Azimuthally Polarized Beams"

FILAS–a topical meeting focusing on fiber laser technologies and applications.

The Fiber Lasers and Applications meeting brings together researchers from academia, industrial and government laboratories across the world to present and discuss the latest advances in the area of fiber laser technology. In 2011 this conference was held for the first time in Istanbul and it was very successful with a number of world experts in this field in attendance. In 2012 the conference will feature not only high power pulsed and CW fiber lasers and fiber laser amplifiers (both Raman and direct) at wavelengths ranging from UV to IR, but also how they impact on numerous application areas, ranging from both classical and novel industrial applications to environmental monitoring and medicine. Specifically applications in high power fiber lasers will include LIDAR, oil and gas exploration, homeland security and perimeter monitoring. FILAS is planned to complement the program of the ASSP conference- Advanced Solid State Photonics - fundamental scientific aspects are primarily covered by ASSP whereas fiber laser engineering and applications are primarily covered by FILAS. The bridging between fundamental scientific aspects and applications will also be covered by FILAS 2012.

Online Access to Technical Digest Now Available! Full Technical Attendees now have an alternate way to access the digest papers at the meeting. Access the papers through Optics InfoBase using the same login email address and password provided during the meeting registration process. Access is currently limited to Laser Congress Full Technical Attendees only. If you need assistance with your login information, please use the forgot password utility or "Contact Help" link.
