Scientific program
This Workshop is the first conference which brings together physicists from different laboratories who are applying spectroscopic methods in the infrared spectral region for investigating gas discharges. This is an important and fruitful opportunity to meet and discuss with the leading scientists in this field. The scientific program covers all modern aspects of Infrared Plasma Spectroscopy connecting fundamental research with industrial applications. The main topics of the Workshop include all kinds of spectroscopic methods in the infrared region, like tuneable diode laser absorption spectroscopy, and their various applications for diagnostics of all kind of gas discharges. Two sessions of talks will be held each day before lunch. The afternoons are reserved for the industrial exhibition, the poster session and the conference tour. Due to the limited facilities of the Workshop site the number of participants will be limited to ca. 40…50, so please register early.
