Since 1998, the International High Power Laser Ablation Symposium has provided a unique forum for exchange of ideas on the physics and application of high-power laser-materials interaction, including advances in relevant high-power laser sources and problems of beam propagation and detection. The HPLA series is one of the first scientific conferences to be organized around a broad physical phenomenon (laser ablation and its applications) rather than one narrow technology. HPLA treats advances in all related aspects from basic physics to applications.
SPIE High-Power Laser Ablation 2026 will include five days of dynamic oral and poster presentations including keynote presentations, Q&A after each presentation, a welcome reception + poster session, conference dinner, and a panel discussion on the business side of high-power beam applications.
