Reports of research on novel physical effects or laser processes are welcomed. Materials covered include metals and alloys, semiconductors, oxides, amorphous materials, superconductors, biomaterials and polymers. Emphasis on practical applications is welcomed.
Laser Sensing & Measurement
Subject coverage includes studies related to the understanding, design, development and refinement of technology related to laser sensing and measurement. Some examples of topics of special interest are lasers, systems and sensing for laser material processing and laser sensing and measurement techniques in general, including remote sensing and spectroscopy.
Biomedical Applications
Subject coverage includes interactions between optical radiation and biological tissues, with an emphasis on both medical and surgical applications as well as potentially adverse health effects in humans and living organisms. Some examples of topics include biophysical studies of tissue optics, scatter, absorption and non-linear effects in tissue, optical dosimetry, thermal, thermomechanical, photochemical and non-linear effects. Reports on optimizing, photodiagnostics, photochemotheraphy, photoablation, photocoagulation or photodisruption, and descriptions of new biomedical laser delivery systems are of interest. Reviews of clinical laser applications aimed at the non-clinicians are also welcome.
Laser Safety
Subject coverage includes all applied aspects of laser safety and safety standards. Examples of topics include setting maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limits, new safety standards and regulations, laser classification, hazard evaluation and risk analysis, control measures for both laser radiation and ancillary hazards, laser accident investigations, safety training, eye and skin protection and laser protective materials.
