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
