LACSEA - an interdisciplinary meeting focusing on recent advances in analytical laser spectroscopy, (i.e. on the development of new laser-analytical principles) but also on new components, systems and new applications.

The Laser Applications to Chemical, Security, and Environmental Analysis Topical meeting (LACSEA) - Laser-based detection of chemical species for combustion sensing, atmospheric sensing, and chemical and biological agent sensing is an exciting and growing area of scientific interest. The rapid development of laser technologies as well as data analysis tools are paving the way for performing real-time analysis and control of various environments a reality. These developments gave birth to a number of interesting applications in very challenging environments that provide exciting perspective and opens new horizons in many areas of measurement and technology.
