Scope & Background
-
- Scope of LIP conferences
- Previous LIP, OPC & OPS conferences...
The
conference is focused on interactions between laser beams
and particles, from theory to practice, encompassing in
particular the following fundamental and applied
topics :
- Beam
shape description of laser/electromagnetic wave.
- Optical forces and other mechanical effects of light/laser/electromagnetic wave.
- Light/laser/electromagnetic scattering of complex particles and aggregates.
- Optical particle sizing and characterization methods.
- Light/electromagnetic wave propagation in complex media.
- Optical forces and other mechanical effects of light/laser/electromagnetic wave.
- Light/laser/electromagnetic scattering of complex particles and aggregates.
- Optical particle sizing and characterization methods.
- Light/electromagnetic wave propagation in complex media.
-
Optical imaging with structured illumination (tissue,
particles,…).
- AI-assisted analysis in light/electromagnetic scattering.
- Related applications in biology and biomedicine.
- Related applications in multiphase flow, aerosol science and atmospheric environment.
- Related applications nanoscience, plasma and soft matter physics.
Although the conference is mainly intended to deal with
light/laser/electromagnetic wave, papers dealing with
acoustical and quantum beams (scalar waves) relating with
the topics of the conference are welcomed.- AI-assisted analysis in light/electromagnetic scattering.
- Related applications in biology and biomedicine.
- Related applications in multiphase flow, aerosol science and atmospheric environment.
- Related applications nanoscience, plasma and soft matter physics.
This conference series has
been continually providing forums for promoting the
interchange of new ideas on the development of advanced
theories and models, as well as the latest experimental
developments. Since nearly four decades
this series, whose topics are continuously evolving,
provides a source of state-of-the-art in
light and shaped beam interactions with particle and
particle systems. The present edition follows the former
Optical Particle Sizing (OPS) and Optical
Particle Characterization (OPC) conferences held
in Rouen
1987; Tempe,
AZ, 1990; Yokohama, 1993; Nürnberg,
1995; Minneapolis,MN,1998; Brighton,
2001; Kyoto,
2004; Graz, 2007 as well as the reformulated LIP
conference, held in Rouen
in 2012; Marseille, 2014; Xi'an 西安市, 2016, College
Station, TX, 2018, Warsaw
in 2022 and Xi'an 西安市, 2024
(The 13th conference was postponed to 2022 due to the
covid-19 pandemic, but the special issue was maintained! )
