We are pleased to welcome you to Washington, D.C., the home of The Optical Society and The American Physical Society - Division of Laser Science. This year’s conference experience continues to be thoughtfully revised — taking the best of the past and adding vital, innovative elements. The result is a conference with invaluable opportunities to learn from and meet with your peers and colleagues. On behalf of the FiO Subcommittee Chairs, we would like to thank our colleagues from the Division of Laser Science (DLS) of the American Physical Society (APS) for assisting in cultivating joint topics and sessions that will greatly enhance the experience of the attendees at FiO + LS 2018. The world-class technical program features more than 75 invited speakers, 200 contributed talks and almost 500 poster presentations by celebrated members of the community describing some of the most exciting advances in their fields. As technology advances at an ever-increasing pace, the potential applications for optics continue to grow and bring us closer to the edge of amazing discovery and stunning technology. Our plenary speakers, Heike E. Riel from IBM Research Frontiers Institute will share her research activities in the field of information technology and present the new paradigms of cognitive hardware technologies and quantum computing and Gerard Mourou from École Polytechnique will discuss the development of petawatt laser pulse compression and the generation of a single-cycled X-ray pulse leading to exawatt and zeptosecond science and technology. In addition, seven Visionary Speakers who have been paired with four themes will join to share their visions on the cutting-edge ad- vances in the four dimensions: Automotive, Nanophotonics and Plasmonics, Quantum Technologies, and Virtual Reality and Augmented Vision. While at FiO + LS, we encourage you to visit the Science & Industry Showcase. The FiO exhibition transforms into The Science & Industry Showcase – in which exhibiting companies are partnered with innovative demonstrations, networking events, poster presentations, e-posters and rapid-fire oral presentations. This year we have added additional programing in the theater. Take the time to learn about new products, find technical and business solu- tions and gain the most up-to-date market perspective of your industry. Again, we welcome you to FiO + LS 2018 and encourage you to enjoy the dynamic programming incorporated into the next few days ahead. With best regards, Christoph Harder and Wei Lee Christoph Harder Wei Lee FiO General Chair FiO General Chair Swissphotonics, Switzerland National Chaio Tung University, Taiwan FiO + LS 2018 • 16–20 September 2018 3 2018FiO Front.indd 3 8/20/18 9:07 AM Welcome to Laser Science 2018 The leadership of the Division of Laser Science (DLS) of the American Physical Society (APS) is pleased to welcome you to our 34th annual meeting, Laser Science (LS) 2018, in Washington, D.C. We are grateful for the help of our colleagues and technical program organizers, Peter Delfyett and Nathan Newbury, in organizing a broad range of topics in physics and chemistry. This year’s program includes many of the areas at the forefront of laser science that are customarily found at the annual DLS meeting. We have collaborated with our colleagues at The Optical Society to coordinate schedules to encourage your intellectual wanderings between DLS and OSA sessions. In addition to an outstanding technical program with over 50 Laser Science presentations, there are many exciting special Visionary Speakers and events scheduled for the meeting this year. Special attention is appropriate for the Symposium on Undergraduate Research on Monday, which showcases the work of some of our youngest scientists. The Symposium will feature a special poster session to present the work of undergraduate researchers. The technical sessions for the Laser Science meeting are organized around several broad themes: Quantum Science; Extreme Laser Science; Nanophotonics and Plasmonics; and Precision Spectroscopy. We welcome you to the Laser Science 2018 Meeting and encourage you to take full advantage of this year’s technical sessions, visionary and plenary talks, as well as the Science & Industry Showcase featuring leading suppliers to the laser science community, Rapid-fire Oral Presentations and Poster Sessions including e-posters. Enjoy!
