The XXII HPLS&A 2018 Conference focuses on the latest scientific advancements in the fields of high-power laser systems and their applications. HPLS&A, formerly Gas Flow and Chemical Lasers, is one of the oldest conferences on laser systems, and we aim to continue the successful tradition of previous symposia held over the past forty-two years. Nowadays, HPLS&A is one of the most representative international symposia in the field, which invites the leading scientists and specialists from all over the world. It is known for being a collaborative forum to exchange ideas and network through panel discussions, poster sessions, and the exhibition. Being held in Italy, HPLS&A 2018 will pay particular attention to new applications of laser technologies especially in the fields of environmental diagnostics, cultural heritage, industry and security.
MAIN TOPICS Advances in high-power laser sources Resonators and laser beam control Applications Novel approaches
