XVI International conference on pulsed lasers and laser applications – AMPL-2023

September 10-15, 2023, Tomsk

Second Announcement

Dear colleagues,

Arrangements for the XVI International Conference on pulsed lasers and laser applications AMPL-2023 (Atomic and Molecular Pulsed Lasers) are going on. The AMPL Conference, which is held in Tomsk biennially, is the greatest scientific forum on this subject in the Commonwealth of Independent States. This year the XVI AMPL Conference will last from the 10th to the 15th of September 2023. The Conference is going to be organized in the traditional offline format. Meanwhile the online format is still available for participants who don’t have the opportunity to take part in the Conference in person due to the restrictions of international flights.

The following topical areas will be considered at the Conference: new laser transitions; laser pumping systems; peculiarities of enegry input into laser active media; up-to-date power supplies and active elements; lasers with a complex composition of active media; investigation of photoprocesses in organic compounds; materials for optoelectronics; non-linear processes in molecular systems under laser emission;; conversion of laser radiation in crystal and gaseous media; color center laser; harmonic generators of sum and difference frequencies; new materials for laser emission conversion; synthesis of materials; carbon-based electronics and photonics etc.

Within the Conference, peculiar attention will be paid to laser applications in different areas of science and engineering (ecology, medicine, industry, fight against terrorism, research activities, etc.), discussion of problems of laser-based apparatus development, new optical technologies, as well as to exchange of practical experience on the application of the achievements of science to production and project commercialization. The AMPL Conference is a traditional place for meeting potential partners, optical devices manufacturers, customers, and executors of research efforts and experimental development.

The Conference scientific program offers the following sessions:

gas media for lasers and optoelectronic devices (session A);
gas discharges for lasers and non-coherent radiation sources (session B);
ultrashort laser pulses (session C);
laser systems, laser applications and new laser-optical technologies (session D);
non-coherent radiation sources (session E);
photonics in remote environmental studies (session F);
biophotonics (session G);
photophysical processes, conversion of laser radiation, nonlinear optics and laser synthesis of nanostructure (session H);
carbon materials in quantum electronics, photonics and optoelectronics (session I).

The School for young scientists (younger than 35 years by 15 September 2023), students and postgrads AMPL-School and a competition for them will be held. A competition will take place within the session Y (session of young scientists) in two categories: for participants with the scientific degree and without it.
The Conference program provides for listening to the invited and oral reports and work of poster sessions. Abstracts of the papers and Conference Program will be placed on the Conference web-site and edited in printing.

The Conference proceedings will be issued in a subject editions of Atmospheric and Oceanic Optics and Proceedings of SPIE. Author guidelines are available at the web-sites of these editions. The beginning of accepting articles materials is 1st of June 2023.

Conference participants will have an opportunity to visit research Institutes and Universities of Tomsk city as well as to make a Tomsk sightseeing tour.
