Speaker: Adrien Mau (Abbelight, France) Microscopy is the art of observation of the infinitely small. However, one cannot observe an object without collecting light from it, and thus first sending light at it. We will present how laser illumination coupled to smart optomechanical devices improved the traditional sample illumination methods. Notably, our company Abbelight has […]
Speaker: Lisa Kobayashi (ICFO, Spain) Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is an established diffuse optical method which non-invasively measures regional, microvascular blood flow from laser speckles. Although the utility of DCS has been demonstrated in clinical trials relating to a variety of clinical conditions, limited signal to noise have restricted the use of DCS to measure, […]
Speaker: Jonas B. Ohland (GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research) The Apollon Real-Time Adaptive Optics (ARTAO) system addresses air turbulence-induced Strehl ratio fluctuations in Apollon, the 10 PW Ti:Sapphire laser system in France. With a 50 m multi-pass amplifier and a 140 mm beam diameter, turbulence previously caused significant beam quality instability. To resolve […]
The THRILL Workshop on Adaptive Optics Integration will be held in conjunction with the upcoming LPA Special Workshop on "Intelligent Systems“ from January 13-16, 2025, at the University of Oxford. This in-person event will host a larger community interested in topics related to machine learning, optimization, automation, and system integration in laser facilities, featuring an […]
Speaker: Chiara Caldini (LENS) Cellular compartmentalization is the separation of the cellular interior into distinct compartments, each with specific conditions and materials, that enable the simultaneous execution of different metabolic processes. This organization is essential for regulating cellular functions, as it enhances efficiency by minimizing the loss of intermediate products. While the compartmentalization of eukaryotic cells […]
Speaker: Carlos Serpa (LaserLeap)This webinar will explore the journey from fundamental research to a viable business model within a technology-based university spin-off. Using the case of LaserLeap Technologies - a medical and aesthetic device company founded in 2011 by a professor, a researcher and a doctoral student - we will examine key aspects of technology […]
Speaker: Irina Alexandra Paun (INFLPR) The biomedical engineering sector is one of the most rapidly growing industrial areas, bringing together engineering, medicine and biology, to develop novel technologies for medical treatment. Modern biomedical engineering advanced the concept of “reverse engineering”, which means building micro- and nano-structures with functional biomimicry by extracting design parameters from biological […]
The international workshop “Women in Photonics “ will be held from 1 to 5 June 2025 in Jena, Germany. This event is organised by the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology, a member of the Laserlab-Europe AISBL. This year’s edition is organised with the support of Lasers4EU and 360Carla, a project with which we closely collaborate. […]
The first online workshop on OPOSSUM – the Open Source Optics Simulation System and Unified Modeler – will take place on Wednesday, 4 June 2025, from 2-4 pm CEST via Zoom. The event will provide a first look at OPOSSUM, developed within the European THRILL project. While OPOSSUM is still in its early development and […]
The workshop “Laser Spectroscopy and Photonic Technologies for Circular Economy: Advancing Sustainable Innovations in Material Research and Diagnostics”, is a dynamic event dedicated to exploring the transformative role of photonic technologies in fostering sustainability and innovation. This workshop will primarily focus on laser spectroscopy, imaging, and sensing technologies, exploring their critical role in material research, […]
The Lasers4EU General Assembly 2025 has two main goals: to reflect on the achievements of the project's first year and to coordinate the next steps in its implementation. The meeting is an important milestone in the consortium’s ongoing efforts—not only to fulfill the objectives agreed with the European Commission, but also to deliver meaningful services […]
