Laser Ignition Conference

Laser Ignition Conference is an international forum for discussion on various aspects of laser-induced ignition, including novel giant-pulse micro-lasers, measurements and characterisation of plasma induced by laser ignition, new phenomena of laser breakdown or advanced combustion systems, packing of laser systems for harsh combustion environments and their applications. The purpose of this meeting is to share information on laser ignition and related sciences and technologies.

The 5th Conference aims to presents the latest developments in lasers and laser technologies for the feasibility of laser ignition in practical combustion systems. The latest developments in non-laser ignition systems and studies that enhance our understanding of the ignition process will also be presented.

Sponsorship for the meeting is from the European Union, the Micro Solid-State Photonics Group of the Laser Society of Japan and in cooperation with The Optical Society and several academic societies and associations.
