Laser Technology (SLT 2016) was the eleventh symposium in a periodical series that deals with advances in the state-of-the-art of laser technology and applications in Poland. This symposia series has evolved since 1984 due to the activity of the Committee of Electronics and Telecommunication of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the support of relevant universities. The first symposium on laser technology was organized and hosted by the Nicolaus Copernicus University at Toruń (Poland) and co-organized by Warsaw University of Technology (Poland), and Military University of Technology (Poland), and Industrial Center of Optics in Warsaw (Poland). Three volumes of proceedings were published beginning in June 1984. Approximately 140 participants attended this symposium from all leading research laser technology and laser application research centers in academia, research institutes and industry. Over 120 papers were presented. The topics of Laser Technology XI were as follows: Lasers: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow; Optical Fibre Lasers; Laser Applications in Research; New Types of Lasers; Applications of Lasers in Material Engineering and Nanotechnology; Industrial Applications of Lasers; Applications of Lasers in Medicine and Biomedical Engineering; Application of Lasers in Safety and Defense Systems; New Laser Materials, Components and Assemblies; Optical and Laser Measurements; and Laser Spectroscopy.

The eleventh SLT was originally scheduled for September 2015, but due to a number of additional conferences and meetings associated with celebrations of the International Year of Light in Poland (IYL2015), had to be rescheduled and finally delayed by one year. The SLT 2016 venue was Jastarnia Resort situated on the Hel Peninsula at the Polish Baltic seashore. Traditionally the patronage and sponsoring organizations were: Polish Academy of Sciences Committee of Electronics and Telecommunication, Committee for Optoelectronics of the Association of Polish Electrical Engineers, and the Photonics Society of Poland. The symposium provided material for two volumes of proceedings: one published in Polish– a volume of abstracts for contributed and invited papers; and one in English– these SPIE Proceedings. Approximately 140 participants attended this symposium from all leading research laser technology and laser application research centers in academia, research institutes and industry. Over 120 papers were presented. The topics of Laser Technology XI were as follows: Lasers: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow; Optical Fibre Lasers; Laser Applications in Research; New Types of Lasers; Applications of Lasers in Material Engineering and Nanotechnology; Industrial Applications of Lasers; Applications of Lasers in Medicine and Biomedical Engineering; Application of Lasers in Safety and Defense Systems; New Laser Materials, Components and Assemblies; Optical and Laser Measurements; and Laser Spectroscopy.

SOCIETY. INTEGRATION. EDUCATION. Proceedings of the International Scientific Conference
Laser equipment and laser technologies are among the most modern, fastest growing and most promising branches of science and technology in the 21st century. The first laser was created in 1960 and for about 55 years, today there is hardly any area of our lives in which lasers and related technologies are not applied. Laser systems and related innovative technologies ensuring high precision, productivity and quality of production have been developed and proposed worldwide from hundreds of scientific research institutes and companies. The Master's program is accredited in two European universities in Germany and Latvia and allows for the production of double diplomas. The course is based on international experience and reflects the most recent advances in laser techniques and technologies. The program examines the physical fundamentals and technical realization of various types of laser systems and their specific characteristics. First the necessary foundations of the laser physic...
Development of Laser Technology in Poland
Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2010
The paper presents chosen development threads of laser technology and associated branches of optoelectronics in this country. An occasion to summarize the work and show their current status is the 50 th anniversary of construction of the first laser. The first laser in Poland was launched successfully in 1969, almost simultaneously at WAT and PW. Domestic achievements in this area are summarized every three years by Symposium on Laser Technology held traditionally in Świnoujście. The work carried on in Poland concerns technology of laser materials, construction of new lasers and associated equipment as well as laser applications. Many technical teams participate in laser oriented European structural and framework projects.
Trend of laser research developments in global level
Optics & Laser Technology, 2006
An up-to-date progress of the international laser research and development is given in this article. The number of scientific publications and filed patents are considered as a figure of merit and based on these numbers the growth pace and important aspects are investigated. We have used the Science Finder Scholar search engine, which indexes more than 4000 journals, in different languages, and represents most significant published materials in laser science and engineering. The growth of the laser and related fields are described in terms of resulting scientific publications for the period of 1990-2003. The share of top nations in scientific publications, and in particular laser publications in terms of their gross domestic product (GDP) is presented. It is noted that the four countries including the USA, Japan, Germany and China have a laser publication contribution of 58.9% while the rest of the world including 189 countries contribute 41.1%. However, for the case of patent, which is a more important factor, these four countries hold a share of 90.1% while the remaining nations have a small share of 9.9%. The USA heads all the nations in the number of scientific publications, citations, and laser publications, however, in terms of accepted laser patents Japan shows a big lead. Scientific scopes of the laser systems are presented and some requirements to be met in each field are described. The key points in this field of research, which might be helpful in the future development of the laser technology are discussed.
Contemporary Materials, 2010
The year 2010 will mark the 50 th anniversary of the invention of laserone of the greatest technical achievements of humankind during the last century. This paper reviews the role and impact of laser in contemporary life, and its wide range of application in science, education, industry, medical and military practice, agriculture, archeology, information transfer, control and diagnostics of ready made goods, etc.
