Plan to Participate
SPIE LASE has developed into the main forum and meeting place for not only laser
science and laser scientists, but also for novel laser applications and laser process
engineers. The main communities participating in LASE are technology innovators
reporting their latest developments and research discoveries.
Participation from academia is stable, and we have seen increasing participation from
benefiting industries like microelectronics, computers, machine tools, and classical
industries including automotive and manufacturing. LASE increasingly addresses
business closer to the end user, closing the gap from bottom up competency-oriented
novelties and new science to market-driven visions of new societal benefits from the
point of view of the end user.
Consequently, we seek scientific contributions, new research results, and presentations
that include perspectives for applications or even direct applicability to existing and
new industries. The more the authors accept and fulfill this request, the more successful
LASE will become because the impact of new science on innovation and new markets
will be visible and become directly feasible.
We reach out to scientists to showcase their latest additions in the ever-growing toolbox
of laser capabilities and to the representatives of the industrial R&D sector to help
communicate to fundamental scientists the demands of emerging industrial and social
applications.
We look forward to innovating LASE by disseminating relevant research contributions
for more effective impact on our everyday life in the societies around the world.
Present your research at SPIE LASE 2021.

Important news: Photonics West moves to 6-11 March
The new 2021 dates provide more space at The Moscone
Center to accommodate the program and the exhibition as
we implement new meeting guidelines and requirements.
We will be working hard to ensure a safe and productive
opportunity to meet together, following health and
government guidelines. We hope you will plan to join us –
a few weeks later than usual – in 2021.
