6th International Symposium on High-Power Fiber Lasers and their Applications

On behalf of the program committee and the organiser, IPG Photonics and SPIE, you are invited to attend the 6^th International Symposium on High-Power Fiber Lasers and their Applications, which will take place in St. Petersburg, Russia, from June 25^th to 28^th, 2012 at Hotel Holiday Inn St. Petersburg Moskovskye Vorota  (http://laseroptics.ru/booking_your_hotel_reservation).

The Symposium is to be held within a framework of the 15^th International Conference “Laser Optics 2012”, the largest forum in the field of laser sciences in Russia and Eastern Europe.

The speakers presenting at the Fiber Lasers Symposium (over 50 in total) are drawn world-wide and include top experts from industry and development institutions who are leading the progress in the field of fiber lasers applications, design, manufacturing and research.

The Symposium is a unique opportunity to mix with other top specialists and to learn about the latest technology and process developments breakthroughs in the field while enjoying St. Petersburg:  founded by Peter the Great over 300 years ago, it is one of the most famous gems of the world’s historical and cultural heritage.
