At present, laser optics is facing performance limits depending on its applications. The goal of this meeting is to propose solutions about how to e.g. increase the damage threshold, optimize beam-shaping options, tailor the products to different demanding applications from fundamental research to material processing. The main stakeholders in this field are laser-optics manufacturers, coating developers, beam-shaping experts, laser manufacturers and integrators who, together with a few end-users requiring challenging performances from laser optics, are kindly invited to join us.
