PICALO focuses on the growth and application of lasers and optics in the Pacific region. Researchers, engineers, suppliers and industry professionals from around the world gather at this unique event to share knowledge, experiences and their vision for the future. PICALO is comprised of two great conferences, each packed with the latest developments and progress in lasers and applications. The CD features papers from the Laser Materials Processing conference and the Micro, Nano and Ultrafast Machining conference. 1) The Laser Materials Processing Conference Take your understanding of laser materials processing to a whole new level. Discover the latest developments from across the world in laser cutting/machining, surface modification, welding, additive manufacturing, lasers and systems, modeling and simulation, drilling and forming and industrial applications. 2) The Micro, Nano and Ultrafast Machining Conference With a focus on the most innovative laser technology, you ll learn the latest about micro/nano/ultrafast fabrication in opto- and microelectronics, electronics, Microsystems, material processing and biomedical industries.

The World s Leading Conference on Laser Safety ISBN# ISBN# The ICALEO 2008 Congress Proceedings includes all submitted papers for three conferences on Laser Materials Processing, Laser Microprocessing, and Nanomanufacturing. The Laser Materials Processing Conference covers a number of highlighted sessions such as Direct Metal Deposition Process, Unique Plastic Processing, Optics for Laser Material Processing, Hybrid Welding, Welding by High Brightness Lasers, and Welding for Automotive and Aerospace Industries. The CD also includes a special session organized to recognize the lifetime achievements by Prof. William M. Steen. The Laser Microprocessing Conference on the CD addresses special interests in processes and systems for microscopic applications, including highlighted sessions such as Laser Micro-Drilling and Dicing, Laser Bio-medical Applications, Laser-assisted Micro-deposition, Ultrafast Laser Processing, and Laser-induced Ablation and Breakdown. A joint session was organized, with the Laser Materials Processing Conference, to address the issues in laser micromachining.

All Technical sessions and workshops that addressed developments in regulatory, mandatory and voluntary safety standards for laser products and for laser use are included. Also included in the 2009 Proceedings is the Laser Safety Practical Applications Seminar, which was a 2-day seminar for the practical Laser Safety Officer. This seminar was particularly useful for the Laser Safety Officers who are not full-time laser safety professionals. Participants were involved in practical interactive workshops, panel discussions, and hot topics addressing the more common safety issues and concerns of the day to day operations in commercial, factory, research, and medical facility settings.
