OCLA 2024 will take place in Buchs SG/Switzerland
We are pleased to announce that the Symposium on Optical Coatings for Laser Applications OCLA will be organized for the ninth time on April 16th, 2024. This year, RhySearch is hosting the event in Buchs (SG).
Presentations will be given by renowned speakers in the fields of optical coatings, laser technology and LIDT measurement. The event provides an excellent opportunity to foster communication and networking between multidisciplinary industrial and research groups. As a joint organizing committee, Fraunhofer IOF, OST, RhySearch and Swissphotonics look forward to welcoming you to Buchs (SG).
Topics:
- Optical coatings for laser applications
- Laser technology and applications
- Metrology for characterising high-end optical coatings and substrates
- Low loss optical coatings
- Laser damage of optical coatings
- Impact of polishing, surfaces and interfaces
Target Audience:
