LOPS 2024 Conference to Showcase Latest Innovations

Now in its fourth year, the Conference on Lasers, Optics, Photonics, Sensors, Biophotonics, and Ultrafast Nonlinear Optics (LOPS) is set to take place June 7-10. The conference brings attendees and presenters from more than 100 countries.

According to conference chief Robert Alfano, distinguished professor at City College New York, this year’s conference will feature a number of industry luminaries discussing hot topics including high harmonic generation, attosecond lasers, and supercontinuum lasers.

Alfano will deliver a plenary on June 7, titled “Update on Ultrafast Optical Physics for the Generation of HHG and Supercontinuum."

Further highlights from the conference’s roster of plenary speakers include Harvard professor Federico Capasso presenting “Singularity Engineering by Meta-optics” and Louis DiMauro of Ohio State University presenting “Attosecond Clocking and Control of Strong Field Quantum Trajectories.”

Across its four days, the conference will feature plenary and keynote speakers, workshops, panel discussions, demonstrations, and presentations covering a diverse range of topics in biophotonics, remote sensing, spectroscopy, optics, and lidar, among others.

Glossary

photonics: The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
metalens: A metalens, short for "metasurface lens," is a type of optical lens that uses nanostructured materials to manipulate light at a subwavelength scale. Unlike traditional lenses made of glass or other transparent materials, metalenses do not rely on the curvature of their surface to refract or focus light. Instead, they use carefully engineered patterns of nanostructures, such as nanoscale antennas or dielectric structures, to control the phase and amplitude of light across the lens's surface....
meta-optics: Meta-optics, also known as metasurface optics or flat optics, is a branch of optics that involves the design, fabrication, and utilization of artificial structures called metasurfaces to control and manipulate light at the nanoscale level. Unlike traditional optics, which typically involve bulky lenses and mirrors, meta-optics aims to achieve similar functionalities using ultrathin, planar structures composed of subwavelength nanostructures. Metasurfaces are typically composed of arrays of...
lidar: Lidar, short for light detection and ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape and characteristics of objects and surfaces. Lidar systems typically consist of a laser scanner, a GPS receiver, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), all integrated into a single system. Here is how lidar works: Laser emission: A laser emits laser pulses, often in the form of rapid and repetitive laser...
remote sensing: Remote sensing is a method of data collection and observation where information about objects, areas, or phenomena on Earth's surface is gathered from a distance, typically using sensors onboard satellites, aircraft, drones, or other platforms. This technique enables the monitoring and analysis of Earth's surface and atmosphere without direct physical contact. Remote sensing systems capture electromagnetic radiation (such as visible light, infrared, microwave, or radio waves) reflected or...
