The Department of Laser Engineering and Optical Electronics at the University of Technology held a scientific symposium tagged (very short pulsed lasers and their applications) on Sunday 24/11/2019 at the graduate hall in the Department of Laser Engineering and Optical Electronics.

Prof. Khaled Salem Shabib, Head of the Department, delivered a speech during which he explained the axes of the symposium, including the concept and technology of research in very short pulsed lasers, the axis of modern applications in the industrial and medical fields and the axis of methods of generating short and very short pulses in optical fiber lasers.

The symposium included three lectures, the first entitled (the study of the impact of ultra-short laser pulses in the operation of materials) delivered by Prof. Dr. Kadhim Abd Habter  teaching in the section during which dealt with the types of interactions between the pulses of ultra-short laser with various materials, whether metal or semiconductor Dielectric where these reactions are classified into two non-thermal types and reactions that lead to alteration of the precise structure and rapid phase shift.

The second entitled (scientific research and laser technology with short pulses) delivered by Prof.Dr. Ahmad Jiad Kazem reviewed the developments in the field of manufacturing and applications of very short pulsed lasers and the possibilities of scientific research available at the department and the university as well as the presentation of important areas that contribute to the promotion of research on very short pulsed lasers.

And the third on (generation of short and very short pulses in fiber laser) delivered by lec. Heba Hassan Abdullah was introduced the concept of laser fiber laser and its components and stage of development and advantages of its use of low maintenance cost and long life and high efficiency and types of composition and how to generate pulses using certain techniques and the concept of generation Short and very short pulses are clarified.
