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
