The HPLA series is one of the first scientific symposia to be organized around a broad physical phenomenon, laser ablation and its applications, rather than one narrow technology. It is a collegial meeting where long- term friendships are formed. Since 1998, HPLA has provided a unique forum for exchange of ideas on the physics and application of high intensity laser-materials interaction.
Topics at SPIE High-Power Laser Ablation focus on the physics and application of high-power laser materials interaction, including advances in relevant high intensity laser sources and challenges of beam propagation and detection:
Presentations and manuscripts presented at High-Power Laser Ablation are published in the Proceedings of SPIE on the SPIE Digital Library.
