LZH researchers will present their latest findings at the LASE (Lasers, Laser Sources, and Laser Applications), OPTO (Optoelectronics, Photonic Materials and Devices), and BiOS (Biophotonics, Biomedical Optics and Imaging) conferences.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Kaierle, Managing Executive Board Member of LZH, will serve as Conference Chair—together with Klaus R. Kleine—of the “High-Power Laser Materials Processing: Applications, Diagnostics, and Systems XV” conference at LASE.
