The Advanced High-Power Lasers meeting consists of co-located technical sessions organized by four separate conferences, with joint technical and plenary sessions to encourage discussion outside narrow technical limits. This year's meeting will be co-located with the 2012 Beam Control Conference.
Registrants meeting the attendance criteria may attend any session of any conference for just one registration fee. Program Highlights
A complete agenda, including sessions, will be available here when known. Until then, a listing of submitted abstracts is available, providing insight into the technical program. This listing shows abstracts submitted to date for which the authors have granted permission to be included in this online list. More may be added, so check back later for a more complete list. Also, abstracts can be withdrawn, rejected, or change titles before the conference, so not every abstract listed here will become a presentation at the conference; however, most of them will. Call for Papers Each Conference is soliciting contributed abstracts and will publish an independent Call for Papers. As they become available, the individual conference's Call for Papers will be available through links below. Abstracts should be submitted following the instructions in the Submissions section below.
Selected presentations will be webcast. These presentations must be open, public release and must have the approval of their authors, as indicated on their release forms. The specific presentations to webcast will be selected after the technical program is determined. Preference will be given to presentations in sessions with a sequence of presentations that meet the webcast criteria. The SSDLTR requires papers, and all of the conferences encourage them. These should be written in the DEPS conference paper format. Papers are also of interest to the Journal of Directed Energy editors as manuscripts. Upon author approval, papers may be forwarded to the Journal for consideration. The AHPL meeting will publish combined proceedings, including both presentation materials and formal papers that have been properly released by a sponsoring government agency and have proper classification markings. Proceedings will be produced at both the public release and limited distribution levels. Once available, these proceedings will be provided to conference attendees free of charge; others will be able to purchase the proceedings through our Online Store. Joint Session The Laser-Beam Control Interface or The Development of an Optically Efficient HEL Weapon System A Joint Session is planned for the AHPL and Beam Control Conference which addresses issues related to integrating an HEL weapon's optical train from the resonator to the exit aperture with a goal of maximizing far field irradiance. Our community has a tradition of separately developing lasers and beam control systems then attempting forced marriages. The results have frequently led to complications and inefficiency. By bridging this specification (and frequently contractor) interface with a mix of invited and solicited papers, the session's goal is to provide laser and beam control specialists with a bit of history, some lessons learned during prior systems integrations, and a few ideas to benefit future system integration plans. Papers which address the above issues are solicited. Abstracts Authors will be notified of acceptance of their paper for presentation and/or publication in accordance with the Important Dates table above. Additional instructions for submitting papers and presentations will be provided at that time. Note: While an automated email is sent confirming receipt of your abstract, it is known that many military domains (e.g., af.mil) block delivery of such an email. If you do not receive email confirmation, you may check this listing of submitted abstracts. This listing is dynamically generated based on abstracts received at the time the page is displayed and author permission (granted when submitted). If the title of your abstract is contained in this listing, it has been received by DEPS. Location and Accommodations AHPL technical sessions will be held at the Omni Interlocken Resort at 500 Interlocken Boulevard, Broomfield, Colorado, 80021 and at off-site locations. Directions to the hotel are available through its Web page. A block of rooms at government rates for all attendees has been reserved at the Omni. To take advantage of these rates, call the hotel at 303 438-6600 and mention that you are attending this DEPS event. The Omni and the off-site location for the classified meetings are not within walking distance. A shuttle bus will be available for travel between venues. Private auto access to the off-site location is restricted. There is a shuttle service from Denver Airport that stops at the Omni as well. Participation in AHPL will not require that attendees rent a vehicle for local transportation. Companions Companions are always a welcome addition to any DEPS meeting. To encourage them, we offer companion meal options at an additional cost. Our full meal option includes all meals that are provided for regular attendees including any evening and specialty functions that may be planned. For those companions who do not want to be tied to scheduled meal functions, we also offer an evening meal option. This option, which includes only the evening and specialty event functions, allows companions access to the "fun" portions of our events. Companion meal tickets will be available for sale when registration opens.
