The
Department of Physics of the Faculty of Sciences of the
University of Tunis El Manar, in collaboration with the
African Laser Atomic and Molecular Physics Network (LAM), will organize the
Sixth International Workshop on Laser Physics and its Applications. Previous
Workshops in this series were held in Senegal (1991), in Zimbabwe (1993), in
Ghana (1994), in Sudan (1996), Botswana (1998).
The purpose of the activity is to
introduce fundamental phenomenona and new applications of lasers which can
be useful for the knowledge progress of laser physics, lasers in
medicine,
environment and telecommunications. Optical scientists, physicians,
researchers, engineers and optical industrialists from more than 40
countries are expected to meet to present and discuss the latest scientific
and technical development in these areas.
