SYEC: Symposium Lasers and Photonic Technologies for Environmental Challenges
SYEC 1: Laser-Based Micro-/Nanostructuring for Environmental Challenges
Tuesday, February 27, 2024, 11:00–12:25, ELP 6: HS 1
As one of the major issues facing the world, the ongoing climate crisis substantially threatens today’s society. To mitigate this threat we need to increase the overall energy usage efficiency (greener industrial designs) and reduce CO2, methane, black carbon and CFC emissions (avoid environmental pollution, safeguard human health and weaken greenhouse warming) by establishing low-carbon “clean” energy sources (renewables, nuclear fusion and others). At the same time, the current century is known as the age of the photon spawned through the invention of the laser and its continuous development. At this special symposium, current solutions to environmental challenges based on lasers and photonic technologies will be presented and discussed. These solutions will be as diverse as the environmental challenge they aim to solve and cover, e.g., optical fibre and waveguide technology, photonic sensing, photocatalysis, nanophotonics, (ultrashort pulsed) lasers, or photonic quantum technologies.
