Laser Applications to Chemical, Security and Environmental Analysis (LACSEA)
Laser Applications to Chemical, Security and Environmental Analysis (LACSEA) addresses all aspects of laser and optical measurement techniques for chemical, security and environmental analysis.
The meeting covers diagnostics for chemical processing, energy generation and propulsion, environmental sensing and monitoring and the analysis of fluids that may contain chemical or biological agents.
Presented work includes new developments in spectroscopic and image-based measurement techniques, and advancements in laser sources and detector technology for improved sensing. Presenters are encouraged to focus on the development of new optical technologies for Chemical, Security and Environmental analysis.
