The Laser Institute of America (LIA) has unveiled its updated Sponsor Brochure for its next major conference – the 2019 International Laser Safety Conference (ILSC). Building off of the success of the International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics (ICALEO) last October, LIA has added a suite of new benefits to their sponsor packages, building added value and increased exposure. These packages range from Bronze through to Diamond package sponsorships, catering to various degrees of marketing opportunities.

Aligning with LIA’s further emphasis on digital marketing, all packages now include opportunities for video interviews during the event that will be distributed across LIA’s digital platforms, highlighting the sponsor’s participation at ILSC 2019.

On-site exposure for all sponsors has also been improved throughout the conference, with increased quality, quantity and variety of branding visible across all events.

Higher tier sponsors receive additional publication opportunities in the form of dedicated interviews published in the ILSC issue of LIA’s bimonthly newsletter LIA TODAY, and the publication of press releases on the popular Lasers Today blog.

Industry leaders and top tier sponsors will also be invited to share their knowledge and expertise on key laser safety topics during exclusive panel discussions during the event. These opportunities come in addition to the traditional recognition and advertisement space in the LIA TODAY ILSC issue, Advanced Program, and Conference Program and Proceedings.

“Companies with a passion for laser safety should strongly consider sponsoring ILSC 2019. This is one of the events where the champions of laser safety really shine,” says Steven Glover, Program Manager at LIA.

ORLANDO, Fla. (PRWEB) December 30, 2018

The Laser Institute of America (LIA) is announcing what to expect this fall at their annual conference. The four-day event will represent the following industry sectors on each day of the event: automotive, aerospace, microelectronics/ integrated circuits, and medical equipment/ biotechnology. Presentations and exhibitions will center around photonic materials processing technology, applications, and their impact on these industries each day. The event will promote solution driven innovations for each covered industry.

This new super-conference will incorporate the best features of LIA’s primary applications events: the International Congress on Applications of Lasers and Electro-Optics (ICALEO), Laser Additive Manufacturing Conference (LAM), and the Lasers for Manufacturing Event (LME). The Laser Materials Processing, Laser Microprocessing, Nanomanufacturing, and Laser Additive Manufacturing Conference tracks will all be incorporated into the academic sessions of this event. Speakers will cover topics such as laser ablation, welding, cutting, drilling, deposition, cladding, additive manufacturing, battery systems/ energy conversion, and sensors/ LIDAR.

In addition to dedicated academic sessions, each day will feature an industry specific trade show exhibition where sponsors and vendors can share their unique solutions to the industry’s problems. The daily trade show will also feature numerous panel discussions and presentations from laser end users on the challenges they face, and how laser technology may be the answer.

“This conference is going to quickly be recognized as a leading event for anyone involved with lasers and photonics in any of these four industries,” says Andrew Albritton, LIA Business Analyst.

Additional details will be released soon.

Lasers Just Gave us the World’s Fastest Camera

The device has been dubbed T-Cup and is capable of capturing images at over 10 trillion frames a second! “T-Cup” Was developed Jinyang Liang along with Caltech’s Lihong Wang and their colleagues.  If the device you are reading this on happens to be a smart phone,  you could capture about 30 frames per second. “T-Cup” is so fast that it can film light in slow motion.

This new camera literally makes it possible to freeze time to see phenomena – and even light – in extremely slow motion. Although some measurements are possible, nothing beats a clear image.

They had an established process known as compressed ultrafast photography to use as a starting point…

We knew by using only a femtosecond streak camera, the image quality would be limited. So to improve this, we added another camera that acquires a static image. Combined with the image acquired by the femtosecond streak camera, we can use what is called a Radon transformation to obtain high-quality images while recording ten trillion frames per second.

~ Lihong Wang

The process used here could have huge implications for medical and scientific research. You can read more about T-Cup at INRS.
