Scientists presented their work at the conferences LASE (lasers, laser sources and laser applications), OPTO (optoelectronics, photonic materials) and BiOS (biophotonics, biomedical optics and imaging).

This year, LZH Executive Director Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Kaierle held the role of "Symposium Chair" of LASE together with Prof. Dr. John Ballato (Clemson University, US). In this function he also opened the "LASE Plenary and Hot Topics", where among other things the potential of laser-based additive manufacturing to simplify supply chains and reduce CO2 emissions was discussed.

Here is an overview of the LZH conference presentations:
