Synopsis
The unique characteristics of ultrashort laser pulses have tremendously impacted various domains both in academic research and industry. Many of these advancements are closely linked to the successful evolution of this cutting-edge ultrafast technologies whom applications constantly emerge with its progress. The TOM aims to bring together the different actors of this scientific communities from developers to end-users. The primary focus of this topical meeting is to highlight the different progresses, fostering discussions and meaningful interactions on the current state-of-the-art and future developments. A special emphasis is put on the technological aspects, including considerations for demanding applications. By providing an overview of the cutting-edge progresses in generating and characterizing ultrafast optical pulses, the event aims to create a strong dynamic on emerging research trends and application fields of ultrafast lasers.
