The conference is focused on interactions between laser beams and particles, from theory to practice.
Topics: particle characterization methods (interferometric, holographic, polarimetric, spectral, static, dynamic, ...), - near-field, far-field and time-resolved scattering, - plasmonics and other resonances, - complex shaped particles and aggregates, - multiple scattering and random media (dense, turbulent, ...) - mechanical effects of light (particle manipulation, force measurement, optical tweezer, ...) - laser beams description
