LANE 2010: 6th International Conference on Laser Assisted Net Shape Engineering

The main focus of LANE 2010 is on Photonic Technologies and especially laser material processing. Mobility, Life Sciences, Information Technology and Energy are of special importance. Within these application fields, submitted papers should concern one of the following topics:

● Beam Sources: especially ultrashort pulse lasers, advanced solid state lasers, high-brightness diode lasers

● Components: devices for beam shaping and guidance, robotics and automation

● Processes: laser-based cutting, joining, surface treatment, forming, rapid manufacturing and tooling

● Process Optimisation: process sensing and controlling, simulation

-----------------------------------

Special Sessions:

LANE 2010 will go beyond Photonic Technologies and will also illuminate associated technologies. The topics within the Collaborative Research Center 694 will deal with the integration of electronic components into mobile systems. Additive Manufacturing will be another special session that is hosted by LANE 2010.

Young Academics & Poster Session:

A highlight of the sixth LANE will be the talks and posters of the young scientists of the Erlangen Graduate School in Advanced Optical Technologies (SAOT). Their focus will be on optical metrology, optical material processing, optics in medicine, communication and information technology, optical materials and systems, and computational optics.
