LANE 2018

This application will help you to find your way through the 10th CIRP Conference on Photonic Technologies [LANE 2018] as easy as possible. In total, 204 talks will cover a huge range of topics in the field of photonic technologies and especially laser material processing. The conference aims not only at scientific contributions, but integrates the industrial perspective and their relevance for application, as well. Especially recent developments in the field of laser material processing, i.e.

-Beam sources & components,

-Laser beam welding, brazing & soldering,

- Laser beam cutting & drilling,

- Surface treatment & forming and

- Laser assisted processes

including

- Experimental results,

- Simulation & modelling and

- Sensing & controlare of interest.

In order to open up the capability of light, it is essential to look ahead. Against this background LANE 2018 also enhances emerging technologies like

- Additive Manufacturing,

- Precision processing with ultrashort laser pulses,

- Fast laser beam manipulation and

- E-Mobility/Batteries.

The detailed conference program ensures that you are in the right time at the right place to listen to your favorite presentations. Furthermore, you can catch up on our social events taking place in the evenings as well as on all other services we provide, e.g. free bus shuttle.

Again, as in 2016, one of the presenting authors has the chance to win the LANE Best Presentation Award, which means a presentation during plenary session at LANE 2020 and a price money of 1,000. All participants are asked to vote for that. Moreover, the honorary title Knight of Laser Technology will traditionally be awarded to a scientist, who rendered outstanding achievements in the field of photonic technologies.

Our sponsors and exhibitors vitalise the breaks of our conference. Thats why we would like to thank them very much at this point. Maybe you find some interesting information on our partners and exhibitors in this application take the chance to get in touch with them on site.

We hope that this application covers all topics that are of interest for you while attending LANE. Nevertheless, you are welcome to contact us at the registration desk at all times we are looking forward to answering your questions. We wish you a pleasant stay with us and hope that you not only gain a lot of inspiring impressions but also make new friends at LANE 2018.
