Directed Energy Systems are widely seen to be the next major development of military capability. High Power Microwaves and High Energy Lasers have a multitude of applications. The 9th annual Directed Energy Systems will deliver a clear insight into this crucial area.

8th EOS Topical Meeting on Diffractive Optics (DO 2012)

Delft, Netherlands
27 February-1 March 2012
EOS

We can find diffractive optics in increasingly many applications that are either completely based on diffraction phenomena or for which the diffraction solution is remarkably more compact, light-weight, or cheaper than its alternatives.The 2012 meeting in Delft includes a focus session on Diffraction Optics in the High-Tech Industry. This session gathers scientists and engineers working in the field of diffractive optics in industry and those in academy that work on industrial problems. The Topical Meeting will give attendees a wide picture of diffractive optics, from fundamental modelling of light-matter interaction to design techniques and from fabrication techniques to novel applications.

This meeting will be the eighth in a series. Previous meetings took place in Savonlinna (1997), Jena (1999), Budapest (2001), Oxford (2003), Warsaw (2005), Barcelona (2007) and Koli (2010).
