Not resting on the laurels of its flagship conference, the Laser Institute of America instituted a peer-review process for its 33rd International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics (ICALEO®), held Oct. 19-23 in San Diego.

For the first time, ICALEO featured presentations given even more rigorous analysis than previous events; 56 of the 61 papers submitted for peer review were accepted. “It was quite a bit of a challenge” reviewing abstracts, said returning Congress General Chair Stefan Kaierle of Laser Zentrum Hannover. “We believe it was necessary… to change the way we present our work and especially to improve the quality.” At least two people reviewed each paper in the double-blind process. About 35 to 40 papers will be published in a special edition of the Journal of Laser Applications® (JLA), he said.

ORLANDO, FL, Nov. 10, 2014 — A new peer-review process for select presentations and a host of novel laser research expanded on the tradition and impact of 33rd installment of the Laser Institute of America’s flagship conference in San Diego on Oct. 19-23.

The International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics (ICALEO®) featured 56 presentations given at least two reviews in a double-blind process, said returning General Chair Stefan Kaierle of Laser Zentrum Hanover. “We believe it was necessary… to change the way we present our work and especially to improve the quality.” About 35 to 40 papers will be published in a special edition of the Journal of Laser Applications, he said.

ICALEO featured another smorgasbord of laser research and experimentation spanning the traditional and the novel — from 3D printing of human cells and killing malaria-carrying mosquitoes to powering a small flying craft and improving the dyeing and patterning of textiles. Continue reading →

For the first time, presentations at the Laser Institute of America’s 33rd International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics (ICALEO®) will undergo a peer-review process that will bring even more scholarly rigor to the cutting-edge research presented at the conference.

“It’s my second year as general chair, but there have been a few more years of my being a member of the conference chairs,” says returning Congress General Chair Stefan Kaierle of Laser Zentrum Hannover. “The lessons I have learned have grown during that period, and one of my main findings is that we need a good team, composed out of the conference chairs, the advisory committees and the staff from the LIA in order to set up a good conference. Only if we all work closely together with intense information exchange, are we able to find the best solutions for changes to incorporate or just to decide on how successful parts of the conference can be further improved or maintained.” Continue reading →
