Abstract

The 13th international conference series on Laser-light and Interactions with Particles (LIP) - Optical Particle Characterization follow-up ! is organized by the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IF-PAS) on August 22-28th, 2020, Warsaw, Poland. The conference is focused on interactions between laser beams and particles, from theory to practice (download the flyer), encompassing in particular the following fundamental topics : particle characterization methods (interferometric, holographic, polarimetric, spectral, static, dynamic,...), near-field, far-field and time-resolved scattering, plasmonics and other resonances, complex shaped particles and aggregates, multiple scattering and random media (dense,turbulent,...), mechanical effects of light (particle manipulation, force measurement, optical tweezer,...), laser beams description (contributions acoustical and quantum beams are also welcomed) and application domains: two-and multiphase-flow characterization ( combustion, spray, bubbly flow...), aerosol science and atmospheric environment (nucleation, transport, characterization...), plasma and soft matter physics (nanocristallite, Coulomb crystal, colloids, aggregation, ,...), biomedical optical engineering (cell manipulation and properties, microrheology, ...), remote sensing (lidar, communication,...)
