Pacific International Conference on Applications of Lasers and Optics (PICALO) focuses on the growth and application of lasers and optics in the Pacific region. PICALO brings together researchers, engineers, equipment suppliers and industry personnel to hear the latest developments and progress in lasers and applications and to share knowledge, experiences and visions. PICALO offers an exciting technical and social program in cities that represent laser growth in the Pacific region. PICALO features sessions on Laser Materials Processing and Laser Micro, Nano and Ultrafast Fabrication as well as the International Enterprise Summit.

Who should attend PICALO?

Anyone interested in lasers and materials processing from the basic understanding of the interaction between a laser beam and a material to those interested in how a process can be integrated and optimized for an application should attend PICALO. The  organizing committee’s goal for PICALO is to bring both academic and industry people together who may benefit from laser  technology. This includes researchers and end-users as well as engineers and technicians engaged in developing laser  technology. The conference will provide a face-to-face platform for scholars, experts and entrepreneurs worldwide  as well as management personnel, technicians, and end-users in China, especially in Wuhan. At the same time,  PICALO will demonstrate the development and achievements in the field of laser processing in recent years  and thus bridge China’s companies and enterprise to the world.
