The Institute of Photonics and Electronics was part of the Optica Laser Congress and the concurrent ASSL conference, which took place on October 19–23 at the Prague Congress Center.
The Optica Laser Congress offers a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in the development of solid-state lasers and their new applications. The congress included the Advanced Solid State Lasers Conference (ASSL), which highlighted new sources of coherent radiation, advanced technologies, components, and system designs for expanding the operation and applications of solid-state lasers.
The program featured presentations by colleagues from the Fiber lasers and non-linear optics research team, who also discussed the results of the LasApp project in their presentations; 7-Rod-Core Thulium-Doped Fiber for Enhanced Fiber Laser Cooling (Ivo Bartoň), Longitudinally Segmented Thulium-Doped Fiber for High-Power Fiber Lasers (Bára Švejkarová), and in the poster section, Martin Grábner presented his poster Longitudinally Segmented Thulium-Doped Fiber for High-Power Fiber Lasers. We prepared a special event for conference participants – a visit to the optical fiber technology laboratories in Lysolaje.
