36th International SAOT Workshop: Optical Particle Characterization

09.3.26 – 10.03.26
Fraunhofer IISB, Schottkystraße 10, 91058 Erlangen

Scope

The workshop Optical Particle Characterization aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of advanced optical techniques and methodologies used in the field of particle diagnostics. International experts present the latest diagnostic developments and applications essential for the analysis of particle formation and for the optimization of processes involving particles. Besides methods based on, e.g., image analysis, a key focus will be on laser-based diagnostics, which have become indispensable in providing highly accurate measurements of various particle properties. This includes techniques such as Elastic Light Scattering (ELS), Laser-Induced Incandescence (LII), Absorption Spectroscopy (AS) and Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). These diagnostic principles are coupled/extended with dedicated developments such as tomography, high-speed data acquisition and sophisticated evaluation methods based on neuronal networks allowing to gain additional information on the particles under investigation.

This workshop will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange and favoring possible collaborations, with a format of lectures and extended discussions.
