The Ultrashort Pulse Laser Workshop provides a forum for the presentation of state-of-the-art ultrashort pulse laser technology, physics, and applications. Past attendees will note that "Material Interaction" has been dropped from the original name of the workshop to better reflect the diverse and growing field of ultrashort pulse lasers and their applications. While the industrial, material processing applications are rapidly grasped, the potential military utility of ultrashort pulse laser technology can be elusive or overshadowed by its High Energy cousins.
The sixth Ultra-Short Pulse Laser Workshop brings together government, industry, and academic leaders for discussions of basic and applied research and technology efforts and the future of ultrashort pulse lasers for military and other applications. Technical presentations cover a diverse spectrum of interests including DoE and DoD laboratories, industry, and other scientific and engineering institutions. Papers addressing the topics below are specifically sought for this workshop, however, technical abstracts addressing other technical areas related to Ultrashort Pulse Lasers will also be considered:
Unclassified abstracts should be submitted preferably by email to Ushort@deps.org. They may also be submitted in Microsoft Word format on electronic media to: Directed Energy Professional SocietyFor instructions on submitting classified abstracts, contact Mr. Carlton Land. Student participation is encouraged. Depending on the number of student speakers, a special student session, perhaps a poster session, will be scheduled. Release Forms Release forms, available here soon, will be required for abstracts, papers, and presentations submitted to the Ultrashort Workshop. It is the responsibility of the lead author to obtain all approvals and releases for presentation/paper. Submit the completed form to DEPS at the address above or FAX to DEPS at 505-998-4917. No presentations will be permitted or papers accepted without the appropriate release form. These completed forms must be received by DEPS prior to the Workshop. Location and Accommodations
The Workshop events will be held at the
Boulder Millennium Harvest House Hotel and at the National Institute
for Science and Technology (NIST) Boulder facility. Transportation will be provided from the hotel to NIST. A block of rooms at reduced rates has been set aside at the Millennium. To make a
reservation online, go to this
reservation site. You may also contact the hotel directly at 800 545-6285 and mention the DEPS Workshop.
The room block expires on 2 August 2008. Previous Workshops This is sixth Workshop in this series. Information about
previous meetings is available. The proceedings for
the 2007 Workshop have been published.
