Laser Processing Consortium (LPC)Workshop
June 19 – 20, 2000
Jefferson Lab
Newport News, VA 23606

 AGENDA 

The Infrared Free Electron Laser (FEL) at DOE’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility is a unique high brightness light source for materials processing, materials science, photochemistry and other R&D applications. The FEL and its associated User Facility completed commissioning in 1999 with the achievement of over 1700 watts of cw laser light in the mid-infrared.

A user program for the JLab FEL is underway by members of the LPC and other interested parties from the university, industry and national laboratory R&D communities. Working groups have been formed for FEL applications involving polymer surface processing, metal surface processing, microfabrication, electronic materials, AMO physics and chemical physics. The first user experiments were performed by a number of user groups who participated in FEL experimental runs in July and November 1999 and in February-March, 2000.

The June 2000 workshop will be a forum for existing and interested members of the JLab FEL user community on the following topics:

  • status report of the operation of IR FEL
  • planned FEL upgrades
  • results from FEL user experiments
  • reports on FEL user proposals
  • working group workshops on existing and new proposals
Note: For the convenience of users who are travelling east the June LPC Workshop immediately follows the Gordon Research Conference on "Laser Materials Interactions", held the week before in New Hampshire.
