TECHNICAL SESSIONS |
The LO2006 technical program will include plenary sessions, invited oral presentations, selected contributed oral presentations and poster presentations. A number of special topics will be discussed at symposia and workshops. Post deadline sections will be organized.
ABSTRACT & SUMMARY DEADLINE IS April 15, 2006
The submission of papers to the Conference is only through its Web-page http://www.laseroptics.ru.
The authors are to prepare the abstract of their paper, containing 35-40 words (to be published in the Conference Program) and the summary (1 page in TXT or MSWord format; not published; only for paper evaluation by the Program Committee), and submit them with all information about authors affiliations, desired section and mode of presentation by filling the screen form at http://www.laseroptics.ru.
Conference fee is 400 (350 , if paid before March 1, 2006). Student fee is 100 . For those, who participate ONLY in the workshop Lasers for Preservation of Cultural Heritage fee is 200 |
