The physical foundations of lasers were laid more than a century ago, the first laser flashed sixty-two years ago and the semiconductor lasers which now push most of the internet information around the world will turn 60 this year. During this time, laser science has blossomed in a fantastic variety of directions, driven both by applications and fundamental questions. The international workshop “Lasers, from nanoscale to PetaWatt”, will bring together a broad panel of international experts of laser science in Nice, from September 6th to 9th, 2022.
