About LACSEA
This interdisciplinary meeting will focus 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.
Contemporary scientific topics will be highlighted in areas such as:
- New laser, optical, and spectroscopic science for analytical sensing
- New fundamental spectro-analytical principles and techniques including:
- Nonlinear and ultra fast spectroscopy, analytical use of optical frequency combs and others
- New laser light sources, optical components and detectors for analytical systems from the VUV, UV, to the FIR and THz spectral range
- Improved data retrieval techniques in laser spectroscopic analysis
- New laser analytical instrumentation including:
- Optical and micro-optical laser-based systems for chemical analysis and monitoring
- Laser analytical lab-on-chip systems
- Distributed laser optical sensor networks
- Innovative analytical applications of optical methods
The meeting also highlights the latest developments in the application of laser-analytical methods in fields such as:
- Combustion
- Atmospheric measurements and environmental issues
- Biochemical/biophysical and medical applications of laser techniques
- Security applications of laser-based analytical methods
- Other new analytical applications using light matter interactions
