SPIE Laser Damage Program

Participate in the technical conference, keynote presentations, and special events

An excellent program to keep you informed about recent developments

Each year this important community comes together to share and discuss current research, hear the latest breakthroughs, and connect with colleagues. Browse the 2024 program and prepare for a busy week.

Engage in the technical conference

Topics within the conference include the physics and technology of materials for high-power and high-energy lasers. Find a comprehensive source of information for laser-induced damage mechanisms, materials and thin film preparation, durability, properties modeling, testing, and component fabrication.

Connect with colleagues

Special events designed to help you learn, network, and collaborate with your community will be offered at this meeting.

Come hear the results of the competition

A double-blind laser damage competition will be held to determine the current laser damage resistance of 1030-nm, normal incidence multilayer mirrors in the femtosecond pulse regime. The results will be shared at SPIE Laser Damage 2024. While the deadline for sending sample entries has passed, we look forward to sharing results onsite.
