The aim was to show the great potential of the pico- and femtosecond lasers in emerging\u00a0fields such as <strong>micro-machining (cutting, welding or ablation at microscopic scales), processing and modification of fragile\u00a0materials, precision surgery, medical imaging, manufacturing of microchips or telecommunications<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The event was attended by more than thirty people representing companies, research institutes and research groups devoted to laser technology such as: <em>BSH Appliances Spain, Biotech Life Vascular Devices, Institute of Photomedicine the Teknon Medical Center, Fyla, LuzWaveLabs , ProCareLight, Protonlaser, IK4 &#8211; Tekniker, CNM, CSIC, Jeanologia, CEIT &#8211; IK4, Radiantis, AIMEN, Alava Ingenieros, IMDEA Materials Institute, the Center for pulsed lasers (CLPU), the Institute of Materials Ceincia Aragon (ICMA CSIC), the Institute of Optics (IO-CSIC), Carlos III of Madrid, Crestec Corporation, Veloptics University<\/em> as well as students of the <em>Master in Photonics and Laser Technology (jointly conducted by the universities of Vigo, Santiago de Compostela A Coru\u00f1a)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The agenda of the day began with a welcome, presentation of objectives, methodology and participants. Then, the program was divided into 3 sections: the first focused on &#8220;Discovering the needs and problems,&#8221; the second &#8220;Exploring new applications&#8221; and the block in the afternoon\u00a0aimed at\u00a0&#8220;Promoting the development of new lasers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Before lunch break, within the block &#8220;Exploring new applications&#8221;, there were\u00a0five topics identified that were addressed to organize working groups to generate innovative collaboration\u00a0projects. The\u00a0following topics were addressed:\u00a0color marking on metal, polymer micro-machining, applying femtosecond lasers in surgery, the speed control of lasers in micro machining of sharp bends and\u00a0the development from scratch of a laser machine for cutting stents.<\/p>\n<p>You can access the photo album of the event by clicking <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/secpho\/sets\/72157659551581174\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting was held following the USTS2015 Congress held on 24th and 25th of November in Madrid.
