Abstract

This paper presents the state of art of laser technologies in Poland. A list of primary laser technology development centers is included. The involvement of Polish scientists in the development of lasers and fourth generation synchrotron light sources as well as their applications is discussed. The development of laser applications in medical therapy and diagnostics, material micro- and macro-processing as well as environmental monitoring and protection, safety, and security is presented.

Additional information

Adam Cenian is a professor at the Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery Polish Academy of Sciences (IFFM) in Gdańsk. In 1979, he earned his M.Sc. degree in applied physics from Gdańsk University of Technology (GUT). Later, he earned his Ph.D. degree in laser physics from IFFM (1984) and D.Sc. (habilitation) degree in plasma physics from GUT (2008). His primary scientific interests include laser technologies (CO2 plasma physics, laser radiation—matter interaction, including laser ablation and laser techniques application), plasma-chemistry—kinetics and spectroscopy of plasma in electric discharges and flames, plasma–wall interactions, simulation techniques (Molecular Dynamics, Monte Carlo, PIC), plasma diagnostics—modeling of Langmuir probes and modeling of ion thrusters. Recently, he is involved in research related to medical laser development, nanotechnologies, and ecoenergetics.
