Photon counting represents the ultimate level of sensitivity in optical measurements The feasibil-ity of individual photon detection has opened a broad spectrum of new applications in both re-search and industry now
The fast emerging types of solid state photon de-tectors are providing simple cheap and rugged tools to register and time tag photons Super-conducting photon detectors either in the form of an ultrathin superconducting nano-stripe or a transition-edge sensor are presently the highest performance devices especially in the near-infra-red optical spectrum These devices are routinely used in quantum information experiments They exhibit high quantum efficiency MHz counting rate and very low jitter and can be implemented as photon-number andor photon-energy resolv-ing devices Avalanche photodiodes specifically designed for single photon counting have been developed on the basis of various materials during the last 30 years They have been tailored for nu-merous applications in optical sensors quantum cryptography optical ranging and Lidar time re-solved spectroscopy laser-induced fluorescence astronomy and optical time transfer to name just a few Finally there is a fast growing area of pho-ton counters based on various nanostructures and nanodevices as well as high energy radiation pho-ton detectors for nonproliferation security and medical uses The conference will gather an au-dience from the contributing research community active in the academic industrial space related physics and research fields
Quantum Optics incorporates a variety of experi-mental systems in which the interaction of single quantum objects can be controlled close to the ul-timate limit of fundamental quantum fluctuations These quantum objects include atoms ions and photons as well as artificial solid-state based ob-jects like electrons in quantum dots color-centers in solids or superconducting qubits The research focus is on the realization of strong enough cou-pling between quantum objects so that the con-trolled interaction can be employed as a building
block of quantum information processing Quan-tum state transfer of photons into quantum mem-ories and two-qubit quantum gates have been recently realized and are ready to be upgraded for being used in larger quantum networks and for extending the scope of applications All these efforts require the most possible detailed under-standing of quantum physics of these objects and their interactions in hybrid systems This objec-tive stimulates a large scope of experimental and theoretical researches ranging from entangle-ment theory as far as to material sciences which fields exhibit a convergence in their objectives and terminology In order to survey the current state-of-the-art in photon-based quantum infor-mation processing the discussion is open to both fundamental aspects as well as basic and applied research oriented on the realization of qubits and controlled interactions
The conference programme will consist of oral and poster presentations on topics that include but are not limited to
PHOTON COUNTING bull new photon counting detectors both
semiconducting and superconducting bull time correlated photon counting advancesbull photon number resolving detectionbull laser ranging and laser time transferbull photon counting devices in astronomybull laser-induced fluorescencebull single molecule detectionbull optical time domain reflectometrybull optical sensorsbull high-energy radiation photon detectorsbull imaging applications using multipixel photon

Specialised optical fibres have seen a significant resurgence in recent years becoming essential optical components designed to control and ma-nipulate light guided within an optical network enabling selective confinement routing dispersion or filtering to occur directly in the optical domain Specialised optical fibres can be broadly classified as solid step or gradient index types liquid core fibres and as photonic crystal or microstructure designs In the former case selective material dop-ing of the fibres can afford unique properties that allow for optical amplification or photosensitivity In the latter case photonic crystal fibre allows for photon propagation in the most intricate of ways with great flexibility we have far more control over the properties of photonic crystals than we do over the electronic properties of semiconductors There are three key features that define the development of a specialised fibre i) the composition of the host material ii) the waveguide design and iii) the use of specialised coatings
This conference aims to provide a forum for scien-tists and engineers-involved with the modelling design fabrication device integration and applica-tion of PCFs and specialty optical fibres-to present and share their latest research and findings This conference will expand on the existing innovations that relate to microstructure and speciality optical fibres detailing progress in the areas of fibre man-
ufacture devices and applications that target the fields of optical communications fibre lasers and amplifiers sensing and spectroscopy and incorpo-rating modelling of novel fibre geometries
The conference programme will consist of both oral and poster presentations Papers are solicited on but not limited to the following topics
MATERIALS PROCESSES AND FABRICATION ADVANCES Advances in speciality and microstructure fibre
manufacture based on silica chalcogenide and multi-component glasses rare-earth doped fibres single crystal material fibre and polymer optical fibres as well as new and advanced coating materials

A new era in Holography opened in 1961 when Leith and Upatnieks described the use of the off-axis reference beam to capturemdashon a single piece of photographic filmmdashthe complete record of the light wave resulting for the first time in ho-lographic images of excellent quality What is less well appreciated is that by 1967 Goodman and Lawrence had demonstrated a digital holograph-ic system Our last meeting in 2017 coincided with the 90th anniversary of the births in 1927 of both Leith (March 12th) and Denisyuk (July 27th) Today holography in its many forms is not only alive but is thriving It has found widespread applications throughout all fields of science and technology While some initial expectations have not been re-alized an increasing number of other applications have been discovered which have brought real practical benefits to mankind
This year marks the fifth conference in this series since it was inaugurated in 2009 It was founded to highlight contemporary techniques of holographic recording and replay including digital holography holographic materials switchable devices com-puter-generated holograms optical information processing security diffractive optics (Volume Holographic Optical Elements) metrology and the interferometric fabrication of photonic crystals We intend to provide a platform which also allows those in closely related areas (eg involving phase retrieval algorithms quantitative phase microsco-py sensing compression data storage and 3D im-aging and displays and including art holography and AugmentedMixedVirtual Reality) to share ideas and concepts

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray Optics have many applications in many areas of recent science and technology ranging from space (astronomy) to the laboratory and numerous alternative designs of these optics have been suggested and implement-ed The apertures range from micromirrors of less than 1 mm to a few meters in the case of space ap-plications Novel schemes of source-optics systems and experimental results show higher brightness and better imaging or diagnostic capabilities
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists manufacturers optical and mechanical engineers designers and users of EUV and X-ray optics in order to exchange ideas highlight possi-ble problems and challenges linked to their use and to seek ways to overcome the current limitations
New or potential users of EUV and X-ray optics will benefit from clear reviews by experienced special-ists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced optical arrangements An im-portant part of the meeting will be dedicated to the use of adaptive EUV and X-ray optics how to improve their performances and reviewing new re-sults and recent advances
An additional goal of the conference is to bring together EUV and X-ray optical scientists special-ising in both terrestrial and space applications with benefits for both sides Many application areas of EUV and X-ray optics require novel technologies and new approaches in order to achieve better im-aging quality and some approaches designed and developed originally for space optics should also be applicable in laboratory optics and vice versa
Presentations discussing technologies for future space X-ray astronomy missions are encouraged These missions require development of mostly in-novative technologies the possibilities the results obtained so far and details of new ideas are suit-able topics for discussion The recent situation in the field strongly demonstrates the urgent need of novel cost effective approaches and solutions
It is clear that the requirements of future large X-ray astronomy missions are so demanding that they need a truly interdisciplinary approach in a wide international collaboration The technologies will include X-ray optics based on Si wafers and ad-vanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics but also other possibilities as well as related advanced metrology measurement and testing These tech-nologies can also be used for laboratory EUV and X-ray optics and presentations based on such ap-plications will be welcome In addition discussions of new projects and results achieved in synchrotron and laboratory EUV and X-ray optics are requested including considerations of how related fields can benefit from these achievements
Both the laboratory and space EUV and X-ray com-munities have begun efforts in the development of active adaptive optics with the aim of achieving superfine angular or spatial resolutions This con-ference will also cover all aspects development and use of such optical techniques Researchers (including industrial partners) working in the fol-lowing aspects of EUV and X-ray optics are encour-aged to submit papers for consideration

Relativistic Plasma Waves and Particle Beams as Coherent and Incoherent Radiation Sources (OO112)Conference Chairs Dino A Jaroszynski Univ of Strathclyde (United Kingdom) MinSup Hur Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (Korea Republic of)

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Photon counting represents the ultimate level of sensitivity in optical measurements The feasibil-ity of individual photon detection has opened a broad spectrum of new applications in both re-search and industry now
The fast emerging types of solid state photon de-tectors are providing simple cheap and rugged tools to register and time tag photons Super-conducting photon detectors either in the form of an ultrathin superconducting nano-stripe or a transition-edge sensor are presently the highest performance devices especially in the near-infra-red optical spectrum These devices are routinely used in quantum information experiments They exhibit high quantum efficiency MHz counting rate and very low jitter and can be implemented as photon-number andor photon-energy resolv-ing devices Avalanche photodiodes specifically designed for single photon counting have been developed on the basis of various materials during the last 30 years They have been tailored for nu-merous applications in optical sensors quantum cryptography optical ranging and Lidar time re-solved spectroscopy laser-induced fluorescence astronomy and optical time transfer to name just a few Finally there is a fast growing area of pho-ton counters based on various nanostructures and nanodevices as well as high energy radiation pho-ton detectors for nonproliferation security and medical uses The conference will gather an au-dience from the contributing research community active in the academic industrial space related physics and research fields
Quantum Optics incorporates a variety of experi-mental systems in which the interaction of single quantum objects can be controlled close to the ul-timate limit of fundamental quantum fluctuations These quantum objects include atoms ions and photons as well as artificial solid-state based ob-jects like electrons in quantum dots color-centers in solids or superconducting qubits The research focus is on the realization of strong enough cou-pling between quantum objects so that the con-trolled interaction can be employed as a building
block of quantum information processing Quan-tum state transfer of photons into quantum mem-ories and two-qubit quantum gates have been recently realized and are ready to be upgraded for being used in larger quantum networks and for extending the scope of applications All these efforts require the most possible detailed under-standing of quantum physics of these objects and their interactions in hybrid systems This objec-tive stimulates a large scope of experimental and theoretical researches ranging from entangle-ment theory as far as to material sciences which fields exhibit a convergence in their objectives and terminology In order to survey the current state-of-the-art in photon-based quantum infor-mation processing the discussion is open to both fundamental aspects as well as basic and applied research oriented on the realization of qubits and controlled interactions
The conference programme will consist of oral and poster presentations on topics that include but are not limited to
PHOTON COUNTING bull new photon counting detectors both
semiconducting and superconducting bull time correlated photon counting advancesbull photon number resolving detectionbull laser ranging and laser time transferbull photon counting devices in astronomybull laser-induced fluorescencebull single molecule detectionbull optical time domain reflectometrybull optical sensorsbull high-energy radiation photon detectorsbull imaging applications using multipixel photon

Specialised optical fibres have seen a significant resurgence in recent years becoming essential optical components designed to control and ma-nipulate light guided within an optical network enabling selective confinement routing dispersion or filtering to occur directly in the optical domain Specialised optical fibres can be broadly classified as solid step or gradient index types liquid core fibres and as photonic crystal or microstructure designs In the former case selective material dop-ing of the fibres can afford unique properties that allow for optical amplification or photosensitivity In the latter case photonic crystal fibre allows for photon propagation in the most intricate of ways with great flexibility we have far more control over the properties of photonic crystals than we do over the electronic properties of semiconductors There are three key features that define the development of a specialised fibre i) the composition of the host material ii) the waveguide design and iii) the use of specialised coatings
This conference aims to provide a forum for scien-tists and engineers-involved with the modelling design fabrication device integration and applica-tion of PCFs and specialty optical fibres-to present and share their latest research and findings This conference will expand on the existing innovations that relate to microstructure and speciality optical fibres detailing progress in the areas of fibre man-
ufacture devices and applications that target the fields of optical communications fibre lasers and amplifiers sensing and spectroscopy and incorpo-rating modelling of novel fibre geometries
The conference programme will consist of both oral and poster presentations Papers are solicited on but not limited to the following topics
MATERIALS PROCESSES AND FABRICATION ADVANCES Advances in speciality and microstructure fibre
manufacture based on silica chalcogenide and multi-component glasses rare-earth doped fibres single crystal material fibre and polymer optical fibres as well as new and advanced coating materials

A new era in Holography opened in 1961 when Leith and Upatnieks described the use of the off-axis reference beam to capturemdashon a single piece of photographic filmmdashthe complete record of the light wave resulting for the first time in ho-lographic images of excellent quality What is less well appreciated is that by 1967 Goodman and Lawrence had demonstrated a digital holograph-ic system Our last meeting in 2017 coincided with the 90th anniversary of the births in 1927 of both Leith (March 12th) and Denisyuk (July 27th) Today holography in its many forms is not only alive but is thriving It has found widespread applications throughout all fields of science and technology While some initial expectations have not been re-alized an increasing number of other applications have been discovered which have brought real practical benefits to mankind
This year marks the fifth conference in this series since it was inaugurated in 2009 It was founded to highlight contemporary techniques of holographic recording and replay including digital holography holographic materials switchable devices com-puter-generated holograms optical information processing security diffractive optics (Volume Holographic Optical Elements) metrology and the interferometric fabrication of photonic crystals We intend to provide a platform which also allows those in closely related areas (eg involving phase retrieval algorithms quantitative phase microsco-py sensing compression data storage and 3D im-aging and displays and including art holography and AugmentedMixedVirtual Reality) to share ideas and concepts

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray Optics have many applications in many areas of recent science and technology ranging from space (astronomy) to the laboratory and numerous alternative designs of these optics have been suggested and implement-ed The apertures range from micromirrors of less than 1 mm to a few meters in the case of space ap-plications Novel schemes of source-optics systems and experimental results show higher brightness and better imaging or diagnostic capabilities
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists manufacturers optical and mechanical engineers designers and users of EUV and X-ray optics in order to exchange ideas highlight possi-ble problems and challenges linked to their use and to seek ways to overcome the current limitations
New or potential users of EUV and X-ray optics will benefit from clear reviews by experienced special-ists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced optical arrangements An im-portant part of the meeting will be dedicated to the use of adaptive EUV and X-ray optics how to improve their performances and reviewing new re-sults and recent advances
An additional goal of the conference is to bring together EUV and X-ray optical scientists special-ising in both terrestrial and space applications with benefits for both sides Many application areas of EUV and X-ray optics require novel technologies and new approaches in order to achieve better im-aging quality and some approaches designed and developed originally for space optics should also be applicable in laboratory optics and vice versa
Presentations discussing technologies for future space X-ray astronomy missions are encouraged These missions require development of mostly in-novative technologies the possibilities the results obtained so far and details of new ideas are suit-able topics for discussion The recent situation in the field strongly demonstrates the urgent need of novel cost effective approaches and solutions
It is clear that the requirements of future large X-ray astronomy missions are so demanding that they need a truly interdisciplinary approach in a wide international collaboration The technologies will include X-ray optics based on Si wafers and ad-vanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics but also other possibilities as well as related advanced metrology measurement and testing These tech-nologies can also be used for laboratory EUV and X-ray optics and presentations based on such ap-plications will be welcome In addition discussions of new projects and results achieved in synchrotron and laboratory EUV and X-ray optics are requested including considerations of how related fields can benefit from these achievements
Both the laboratory and space EUV and X-ray com-munities have begun efforts in the development of active adaptive optics with the aim of achieving superfine angular or spatial resolutions This con-ference will also cover all aspects development and use of such optical techniques Researchers (including industrial partners) working in the fol-lowing aspects of EUV and X-ray optics are encour-aged to submit papers for consideration

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Photon counting represents the ultimate level of sensitivity in optical measurements The feasibil-ity of individual photon detection has opened a broad spectrum of new applications in both re-search and industry now
The fast emerging types of solid state photon de-tectors are providing simple cheap and rugged tools to register and time tag photons Super-conducting photon detectors either in the form of an ultrathin superconducting nano-stripe or a transition-edge sensor are presently the highest performance devices especially in the near-infra-red optical spectrum These devices are routinely used in quantum information experiments They exhibit high quantum efficiency MHz counting rate and very low jitter and can be implemented as photon-number andor photon-energy resolv-ing devices Avalanche photodiodes specifically designed for single photon counting have been developed on the basis of various materials during the last 30 years They have been tailored for nu-merous applications in optical sensors quantum cryptography optical ranging and Lidar time re-solved spectroscopy laser-induced fluorescence astronomy and optical time transfer to name just a few Finally there is a fast growing area of pho-ton counters based on various nanostructures and nanodevices as well as high energy radiation pho-ton detectors for nonproliferation security and medical uses The conference will gather an au-dience from the contributing research community active in the academic industrial space related physics and research fields
Quantum Optics incorporates a variety of experi-mental systems in which the interaction of single quantum objects can be controlled close to the ul-timate limit of fundamental quantum fluctuations These quantum objects include atoms ions and photons as well as artificial solid-state based ob-jects like electrons in quantum dots color-centers in solids or superconducting qubits The research focus is on the realization of strong enough cou-pling between quantum objects so that the con-trolled interaction can be employed as a building
block of quantum information processing Quan-tum state transfer of photons into quantum mem-ories and two-qubit quantum gates have been recently realized and are ready to be upgraded for being used in larger quantum networks and for extending the scope of applications All these efforts require the most possible detailed under-standing of quantum physics of these objects and their interactions in hybrid systems This objec-tive stimulates a large scope of experimental and theoretical researches ranging from entangle-ment theory as far as to material sciences which fields exhibit a convergence in their objectives and terminology In order to survey the current state-of-the-art in photon-based quantum infor-mation processing the discussion is open to both fundamental aspects as well as basic and applied research oriented on the realization of qubits and controlled interactions
The conference programme will consist of oral and poster presentations on topics that include but are not limited to
PHOTON COUNTING bull new photon counting detectors both
semiconducting and superconducting bull time correlated photon counting advancesbull photon number resolving detectionbull laser ranging and laser time transferbull photon counting devices in astronomybull laser-induced fluorescencebull single molecule detectionbull optical time domain reflectometrybull optical sensorsbull high-energy radiation photon detectorsbull imaging applications using multipixel photon

Specialised optical fibres have seen a significant resurgence in recent years becoming essential optical components designed to control and ma-nipulate light guided within an optical network enabling selective confinement routing dispersion or filtering to occur directly in the optical domain Specialised optical fibres can be broadly classified as solid step or gradient index types liquid core fibres and as photonic crystal or microstructure designs In the former case selective material dop-ing of the fibres can afford unique properties that allow for optical amplification or photosensitivity In the latter case photonic crystal fibre allows for photon propagation in the most intricate of ways with great flexibility we have far more control over the properties of photonic crystals than we do over the electronic properties of semiconductors There are three key features that define the development of a specialised fibre i) the composition of the host material ii) the waveguide design and iii) the use of specialised coatings
This conference aims to provide a forum for scien-tists and engineers-involved with the modelling design fabrication device integration and applica-tion of PCFs and specialty optical fibres-to present and share their latest research and findings This conference will expand on the existing innovations that relate to microstructure and speciality optical fibres detailing progress in the areas of fibre man-
ufacture devices and applications that target the fields of optical communications fibre lasers and amplifiers sensing and spectroscopy and incorpo-rating modelling of novel fibre geometries
The conference programme will consist of both oral and poster presentations Papers are solicited on but not limited to the following topics
MATERIALS PROCESSES AND FABRICATION ADVANCES Advances in speciality and microstructure fibre
manufacture based on silica chalcogenide and multi-component glasses rare-earth doped fibres single crystal material fibre and polymer optical fibres as well as new and advanced coating materials

A new era in Holography opened in 1961 when Leith and Upatnieks described the use of the off-axis reference beam to capturemdashon a single piece of photographic filmmdashthe complete record of the light wave resulting for the first time in ho-lographic images of excellent quality What is less well appreciated is that by 1967 Goodman and Lawrence had demonstrated a digital holograph-ic system Our last meeting in 2017 coincided with the 90th anniversary of the births in 1927 of both Leith (March 12th) and Denisyuk (July 27th) Today holography in its many forms is not only alive but is thriving It has found widespread applications throughout all fields of science and technology While some initial expectations have not been re-alized an increasing number of other applications have been discovered which have brought real practical benefits to mankind
This year marks the fifth conference in this series since it was inaugurated in 2009 It was founded to highlight contemporary techniques of holographic recording and replay including digital holography holographic materials switchable devices com-puter-generated holograms optical information processing security diffractive optics (Volume Holographic Optical Elements) metrology and the interferometric fabrication of photonic crystals We intend to provide a platform which also allows those in closely related areas (eg involving phase retrieval algorithms quantitative phase microsco-py sensing compression data storage and 3D im-aging and displays and including art holography and AugmentedMixedVirtual Reality) to share ideas and concepts

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray Optics have many applications in many areas of recent science and technology ranging from space (astronomy) to the laboratory and numerous alternative designs of these optics have been suggested and implement-ed The apertures range from micromirrors of less than 1 mm to a few meters in the case of space ap-plications Novel schemes of source-optics systems and experimental results show higher brightness and better imaging or diagnostic capabilities
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists manufacturers optical and mechanical engineers designers and users of EUV and X-ray optics in order to exchange ideas highlight possi-ble problems and challenges linked to their use and to seek ways to overcome the current limitations
New or potential users of EUV and X-ray optics will benefit from clear reviews by experienced special-ists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced optical arrangements An im-portant part of the meeting will be dedicated to the use of adaptive EUV and X-ray optics how to improve their performances and reviewing new re-sults and recent advances
An additional goal of the conference is to bring together EUV and X-ray optical scientists special-ising in both terrestrial and space applications with benefits for both sides Many application areas of EUV and X-ray optics require novel technologies and new approaches in order to achieve better im-aging quality and some approaches designed and developed originally for space optics should also be applicable in laboratory optics and vice versa
Presentations discussing technologies for future space X-ray astronomy missions are encouraged These missions require development of mostly in-novative technologies the possibilities the results obtained so far and details of new ideas are suit-able topics for discussion The recent situation in the field strongly demonstrates the urgent need of novel cost effective approaches and solutions
It is clear that the requirements of future large X-ray astronomy missions are so demanding that they need a truly interdisciplinary approach in a wide international collaboration The technologies will include X-ray optics based on Si wafers and ad-vanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics but also other possibilities as well as related advanced metrology measurement and testing These tech-nologies can also be used for laboratory EUV and X-ray optics and presentations based on such ap-plications will be welcome In addition discussions of new projects and results achieved in synchrotron and laboratory EUV and X-ray optics are requested including considerations of how related fields can benefit from these achievements
Both the laboratory and space EUV and X-ray com-munities have begun efforts in the development of active adaptive optics with the aim of achieving superfine angular or spatial resolutions This con-ference will also cover all aspects development and use of such optical techniques Researchers (including industrial partners) working in the fol-lowing aspects of EUV and X-ray optics are encour-aged to submit papers for consideration

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

Applying Laser-driven Particle Acceleration Medical and Nonmedical Uses of Distinctive Energetic Particle and Photon Sources II (WS201)Conference Chairs Paul R Bolton Ludwig-Maximilians-Univ Muumlnchen (Germany)
Programme Committee Patrizio Antici Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (Canada) Pablo G Cirrone Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (Italy) Antonio Giulietti Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (Italy) Kenneth W D Ledingham Univ of Strathclyde (United Kingdom) Paul McKenna Univ of Strathclyde (United Kingdom) Katia Parodi Ludwig-Maximilians-Univ Muumlnchen (Germany) Joumlrg Schreiber Ludwig-Maximilians-Univ Muumlnchen (Germany)
In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Photon counting represents the ultimate level of sensitivity in optical measurements The feasibil-ity of individual photon detection has opened a broad spectrum of new applications in both re-search and industry now
The fast emerging types of solid state photon de-tectors are providing simple cheap and rugged tools to register and time tag photons Super-conducting photon detectors either in the form of an ultrathin superconducting nano-stripe or a transition-edge sensor are presently the highest performance devices especially in the near-infra-red optical spectrum These devices are routinely used in quantum information experiments They exhibit high quantum efficiency MHz counting rate and very low jitter and can be implemented as photon-number andor photon-energy resolv-ing devices Avalanche photodiodes specifically designed for single photon counting have been developed on the basis of various materials during the last 30 years They have been tailored for nu-merous applications in optical sensors quantum cryptography optical ranging and Lidar time re-solved spectroscopy laser-induced fluorescence astronomy and optical time transfer to name just a few Finally there is a fast growing area of pho-ton counters based on various nanostructures and nanodevices as well as high energy radiation pho-ton detectors for nonproliferation security and medical uses The conference will gather an au-dience from the contributing research community active in the academic industrial space related physics and research fields
Quantum Optics incorporates a variety of experi-mental systems in which the interaction of single quantum objects can be controlled close to the ul-timate limit of fundamental quantum fluctuations These quantum objects include atoms ions and photons as well as artificial solid-state based ob-jects like electrons in quantum dots color-centers in solids or superconducting qubits The research focus is on the realization of strong enough cou-pling between quantum objects so that the con-trolled interaction can be employed as a building
block of quantum information processing Quan-tum state transfer of photons into quantum mem-ories and two-qubit quantum gates have been recently realized and are ready to be upgraded for being used in larger quantum networks and for extending the scope of applications All these efforts require the most possible detailed under-standing of quantum physics of these objects and their interactions in hybrid systems This objec-tive stimulates a large scope of experimental and theoretical researches ranging from entangle-ment theory as far as to material sciences which fields exhibit a convergence in their objectives and terminology In order to survey the current state-of-the-art in photon-based quantum infor-mation processing the discussion is open to both fundamental aspects as well as basic and applied research oriented on the realization of qubits and controlled interactions
The conference programme will consist of oral and poster presentations on topics that include but are not limited to
PHOTON COUNTING bull new photon counting detectors both

Specialised optical fibres have seen a significant resurgence in recent years becoming essential optical components designed to control and ma-nipulate light guided within an optical network enabling selective confinement routing dispersion or filtering to occur directly in the optical domain Specialised optical fibres can be broadly classified as solid step or gradient index types liquid core fibres and as photonic crystal or microstructure designs In the former case selective material dop-ing of the fibres can afford unique properties that allow for optical amplification or photosensitivity In the latter case photonic crystal fibre allows for photon propagation in the most intricate of ways with great flexibility we have far more control over the properties of photonic crystals than we do over the electronic properties of semiconductors There are three key features that define the development of a specialised fibre i) the composition of the host material ii) the waveguide design and iii) the use of specialised coatings
This conference aims to provide a forum for scien-tists and engineers-involved with the modelling design fabrication device integration and applica-tion of PCFs and specialty optical fibres-to present and share their latest research and findings This conference will expand on the existing innovations that relate to microstructure and speciality optical fibres detailing progress in the areas of fibre man-
ufacture devices and applications that target the fields of optical communications fibre lasers and amplifiers sensing and spectroscopy and incorpo-rating modelling of novel fibre geometries
The conference programme will consist of both oral and poster presentations Papers are solicited on but not limited to the following topics

A new era in Holography opened in 1961 when Leith and Upatnieks described the use of the off-axis reference beam to capturemdashon a single piece of photographic filmmdashthe complete record of the light wave resulting for the first time in ho-lographic images of excellent quality What is less well appreciated is that by 1967 Goodman and Lawrence had demonstrated a digital holograph-ic system Our last meeting in 2017 coincided with the 90th anniversary of the births in 1927 of both Leith (March 12th) and Denisyuk (July 27th) Today holography in its many forms is not only alive but is thriving It has found widespread applications throughout all fields of science and technology While some initial expectations have not been re-alized an increasing number of other applications have been discovered which have brought real practical benefits to mankind
This year marks the fifth conference in this series since it was inaugurated in 2009 It was founded to highlight contemporary techniques of holographic recording and replay including digital holography holographic materials switchable devices com-puter-generated holograms optical information processing security diffractive optics (Volume Holographic Optical Elements) metrology and the interferometric fabrication of photonic crystals We intend to provide a platform which also allows those in closely related areas (eg involving phase retrieval algorithms quantitative phase microsco-py sensing compression data storage and 3D im-aging and displays and including art holography and AugmentedMixedVirtual Reality) to share ideas and concepts

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray Optics have many applications in many areas of recent science and technology ranging from space (astronomy) to the laboratory and numerous alternative designs of these optics have been suggested and implement-ed The apertures range from micromirrors of less than 1 mm to a few meters in the case of space ap-plications Novel schemes of source-optics systems and experimental results show higher brightness and better imaging or diagnostic capabilities
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists manufacturers optical and mechanical engineers designers and users of EUV and X-ray optics in order to exchange ideas highlight possi-ble problems and challenges linked to their use and to seek ways to overcome the current limitations
New or potential users of EUV and X-ray optics will benefit from clear reviews by experienced special-ists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced optical arrangements An im-portant part of the meeting will be dedicated to the use of adaptive EUV and X-ray optics how to improve their performances and reviewing new re-sults and recent advances
An additional goal of the conference is to bring together EUV and X-ray optical scientists special-ising in both terrestrial and space applications with benefits for both sides Many application areas of EUV and X-ray optics require novel technologies and new approaches in order to achieve better im-aging quality and some approaches designed and developed originally for space optics should also be applicable in laboratory optics and vice versa
Presentations discussing technologies for future space X-ray astronomy missions are encouraged These missions require development of mostly in-novative technologies the possibilities the results obtained so far and details of new ideas are suit-able topics for discussion The recent situation in the field strongly demonstrates the urgent need of novel cost effective approaches and solutions
It is clear that the requirements of future large X-ray astronomy missions are so demanding that they need a truly interdisciplinary approach in a wide international collaboration The technologies will include X-ray optics based on Si wafers and ad-vanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics but also other possibilities as well as related advanced metrology measurement and testing These tech-nologies can also be used for laboratory EUV and X-ray optics and presentations based on such ap-plications will be welcome In addition discussions of new projects and results achieved in synchrotron and laboratory EUV and X-ray optics are requested including considerations of how related fields can benefit from these achievements
Both the laboratory and space EUV and X-ray com-munities have begun efforts in the development of active adaptive optics with the aim of achieving superfine angular or spatial resolutions This con-ference will also cover all aspects development and use of such optical techniques Researchers (including industrial partners) working in the fol-lowing aspects of EUV and X-ray optics are encour-aged to submit papers for consideration

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Photon counting represents the ultimate level of sensitivity in optical measurements The feasibil-ity of individual photon detection has opened a broad spectrum of new applications in both re-search and industry now
The fast emerging types of solid state photon de-tectors are providing simple cheap and rugged tools to register and time tag photons Super-conducting photon detectors either in the form of an ultrathin superconducting nano-stripe or a transition-edge sensor are presently the highest performance devices especially in the near-infra-red optical spectrum These devices are routinely used in quantum information experiments They exhibit high quantum efficiency MHz counting rate and very low jitter and can be implemented as photon-number andor photon-energy resolv-ing devices Avalanche photodiodes specifically designed for single photon counting have been developed on the basis of various materials during the last 30 years They have been tailored for nu-merous applications in optical sensors quantum cryptography optical ranging and Lidar time re-solved spectroscopy laser-induced fluorescence astronomy and optical time transfer to name just a few Finally there is a fast growing area of pho-ton counters based on various nanostructures and nanodevices as well as high energy radiation pho-ton detectors for nonproliferation security and medical uses The conference will gather an au-dience from the contributing research community active in the academic industrial space related physics and research fields
Quantum Optics incorporates a variety of experi-mental systems in which the interaction of single quantum objects can be controlled close to the ul-timate limit of fundamental quantum fluctuations These quantum objects include atoms ions and photons as well as artificial solid-state based ob-jects like electrons in quantum dots color-centers in solids or superconducting qubits The research focus is on the realization of strong enough cou-pling between quantum objects so that the con-trolled interaction can be employed as a building
block of quantum information processing Quan-tum state transfer of photons into quantum mem-ories and two-qubit quantum gates have been recently realized and are ready to be upgraded for being used in larger quantum networks and for extending the scope of applications All these efforts require the most possible detailed under-standing of quantum physics of these objects and their interactions in hybrid systems This objec-tive stimulates a large scope of experimental and theoretical researches ranging from entangle-ment theory as far as to material sciences which fields exhibit a convergence in their objectives and terminology In order to survey the current state-of-the-art in photon-based quantum infor-mation processing the discussion is open to both fundamental aspects as well as basic and applied research oriented on the realization of qubits and controlled interactions
The conference programme will consist of oral and poster presentations on topics that include but are not limited to
PHOTON COUNTING bull new photon counting detectors both
semiconducting and superconducting bull time correlated photon counting advancesbull photon number resolving detectionbull laser ranging and laser time transferbull photon counting devices in astronomybull laser-induced fluorescencebull single molecule detectionbull optical time domain reflectometrybull optical sensorsbull high-energy radiation photon detectorsbull imaging applications using multipixel photon

Specialised optical fibres have seen a significant resurgence in recent years becoming essential optical components designed to control and ma-nipulate light guided within an optical network enabling selective confinement routing dispersion or filtering to occur directly in the optical domain Specialised optical fibres can be broadly classified as solid step or gradient index types liquid core fibres and as photonic crystal or microstructure designs In the former case selective material dop-ing of the fibres can afford unique properties that allow for optical amplification or photosensitivity In the latter case photonic crystal fibre allows for photon propagation in the most intricate of ways with great flexibility we have far more control over the properties of photonic crystals than we do over the electronic properties of semiconductors There are three key features that define the development of a specialised fibre i) the composition of the host material ii) the waveguide design and iii) the use of specialised coatings
This conference aims to provide a forum for scien-tists and engineers-involved with the modelling design fabrication device integration and applica-tion of PCFs and specialty optical fibres-to present and share their latest research and findings This conference will expand on the existing innovations that relate to microstructure and speciality optical fibres detailing progress in the areas of fibre man-
ufacture devices and applications that target the fields of optical communications fibre lasers and amplifiers sensing and spectroscopy and incorpo-rating modelling of novel fibre geometries
The conference programme will consist of both oral and poster presentations Papers are solicited on but not limited to the following topics

A new era in Holography opened in 1961 when Leith and Upatnieks described the use of the off-axis reference beam to capturemdashon a single piece of photographic filmmdashthe complete record of the light wave resulting for the first time in ho-lographic images of excellent quality What is less well appreciated is that by 1967 Goodman and Lawrence had demonstrated a digital holograph-ic system Our last meeting in 2017 coincided with the 90th anniversary of the births in 1927 of both Leith (March 12th) and Denisyuk (July 27th) Today holography in its many forms is not only alive but is thriving It has found widespread applications throughout all fields of science and technology While some initial expectations have not been re-alized an increasing number of other applications have been discovered which have brought real practical benefits to mankind
This year marks the fifth conference in this series since it was inaugurated in 2009 It was founded to highlight contemporary techniques of holographic recording and replay including digital holography holographic materials switchable devices com-puter-generated holograms optical information processing security diffractive optics (Volume Holographic Optical Elements) metrology and the interferometric fabrication of photonic crystals We intend to provide a platform which also allows those in closely related areas (eg involving phase retrieval algorithms quantitative phase microsco-py sensing compression data storage and 3D im-aging and displays and including art holography and AugmentedMixedVirtual Reality) to share ideas and concepts

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray Optics have many applications in many areas of recent science and technology ranging from space (astronomy) to the laboratory and numerous alternative designs of these optics have been suggested and implement-ed The apertures range from micromirrors of less than 1 mm to a few meters in the case of space ap-plications Novel schemes of source-optics systems and experimental results show higher brightness and better imaging or diagnostic capabilities
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists manufacturers optical and mechanical engineers designers and users of EUV and X-ray optics in order to exchange ideas highlight possi-ble problems and challenges linked to their use and to seek ways to overcome the current limitations
New or potential users of EUV and X-ray optics will benefit from clear reviews by experienced special-ists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced optical arrangements An im-portant part of the meeting will be dedicated to the use of adaptive EUV and X-ray optics how to improve their performances and reviewing new re-sults and recent advances
An additional goal of the conference is to bring together EUV and X-ray optical scientists special-ising in both terrestrial and space applications with benefits for both sides Many application areas of EUV and X-ray optics require novel technologies and new approaches in order to achieve better im-aging quality and some approaches designed and developed originally for space optics should also be applicable in laboratory optics and vice versa
Presentations discussing technologies for future space X-ray astronomy missions are encouraged These missions require development of mostly in-novative technologies the possibilities the results obtained so far and details of new ideas are suit-able topics for discussion The recent situation in the field strongly demonstrates the urgent need of novel cost effective approaches and solutions
It is clear that the requirements of future large X-ray astronomy missions are so demanding that they need a truly interdisciplinary approach in a wide international collaboration The technologies will include X-ray optics based on Si wafers and ad-vanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics but also other possibilities as well as related advanced metrology measurement and testing These tech-nologies can also be used for laboratory EUV and X-ray optics and presentations based on such ap-plications will be welcome In addition discussions of new projects and results achieved in synchrotron and laboratory EUV and X-ray optics are requested including considerations of how related fields can benefit from these achievements
Both the laboratory and space EUV and X-ray com-munities have begun efforts in the development of active adaptive optics with the aim of achieving superfine angular or spatial resolutions This con-ference will also cover all aspects development and use of such optical techniques Researchers (including industrial partners) working in the fol-lowing aspects of EUV and X-ray optics are encour-aged to submit papers for consideration

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Photon counting represents the ultimate level of sensitivity in optical measurements The feasibil-ity of individual photon detection has opened a broad spectrum of new applications in both re-search and industry now
The fast emerging types of solid state photon de-tectors are providing simple cheap and rugged tools to register and time tag photons Super-conducting photon detectors either in the form of an ultrathin superconducting nano-stripe or a transition-edge sensor are presently the highest performance devices especially in the near-infra-red optical spectrum These devices are routinely used in quantum information experiments They exhibit high quantum efficiency MHz counting rate and very low jitter and can be implemented as photon-number andor photon-energy resolv-ing devices Avalanche photodiodes specifically designed for single photon counting have been developed on the basis of various materials during the last 30 years They have been tailored for nu-merous applications in optical sensors quantum cryptography optical ranging and Lidar time re-solved spectroscopy laser-induced fluorescence astronomy and optical time transfer to name just a few Finally there is a fast growing area of pho-ton counters based on various nanostructures and nanodevices as well as high energy radiation pho-ton detectors for nonproliferation security and medical uses The conference will gather an au-dience from the contributing research community active in the academic industrial space related physics and research fields
Quantum Optics incorporates a variety of experi-mental systems in which the interaction of single quantum objects can be controlled close to the ul-timate limit of fundamental quantum fluctuations These quantum objects include atoms ions and photons as well as artificial solid-state based ob-jects like electrons in quantum dots color-centers in solids or superconducting qubits The research focus is on the realization of strong enough cou-pling between quantum objects so that the con-trolled interaction can be employed as a building
block of quantum information processing Quan-tum state transfer of photons into quantum mem-ories and two-qubit quantum gates have been recently realized and are ready to be upgraded for being used in larger quantum networks and for extending the scope of applications All these efforts require the most possible detailed under-standing of quantum physics of these objects and their interactions in hybrid systems This objec-tive stimulates a large scope of experimental and theoretical researches ranging from entangle-ment theory as far as to material sciences which fields exhibit a convergence in their objectives and terminology In order to survey the current state-of-the-art in photon-based quantum infor-mation processing the discussion is open to both fundamental aspects as well as basic and applied research oriented on the realization of qubits and controlled interactions
The conference programme will consist of oral and poster presentations on topics that include but are not limited to
PHOTON COUNTING bull new photon counting detectors both

Specialised optical fibres have seen a significant resurgence in recent years becoming essential optical components designed to control and ma-nipulate light guided within an optical network enabling selective confinement routing dispersion or filtering to occur directly in the optical domain Specialised optical fibres can be broadly classified as solid step or gradient index types liquid core fibres and as photonic crystal or microstructure designs In the former case selective material dop-ing of the fibres can afford unique properties that allow for optical amplification or photosensitivity In the latter case photonic crystal fibre allows for photon propagation in the most intricate of ways with great flexibility we have far more control over the properties of photonic crystals than we do over the electronic properties of semiconductors There are three key features that define the development of a specialised fibre i) the composition of the host material ii) the waveguide design and iii) the use of specialised coatings
This conference aims to provide a forum for scien-tists and engineers-involved with the modelling design fabrication device integration and applica-tion of PCFs and specialty optical fibres-to present and share their latest research and findings This conference will expand on the existing innovations that relate to microstructure and speciality optical fibres detailing progress in the areas of fibre man-
ufacture devices and applications that target the fields of optical communications fibre lasers and amplifiers sensing and spectroscopy and incorpo-rating modelling of novel fibre geometries
The conference programme will consist of both oral and poster presentations Papers are solicited on but not limited to the following topics
MATERIALS PROCESSES AND FABRICATION ADVANCES Advances in speciality and microstructure fibre
manufacture based on silica chalcogenide and multi-component glasses rare-earth doped fibres single crystal material fibre and polymer optical fibres as well as new and advanced coating materials

A new era in Holography opened in 1961 when Leith and Upatnieks described the use of the off-axis reference beam to capturemdashon a single piece of photographic filmmdashthe complete record of the light wave resulting for the first time in ho-lographic images of excellent quality What is less well appreciated is that by 1967 Goodman and Lawrence had demonstrated a digital holograph-ic system Our last meeting in 2017 coincided with the 90th anniversary of the births in 1927 of both Leith (March 12th) and Denisyuk (July 27th) Today holography in its many forms is not only alive but is thriving It has found widespread applications throughout all fields of science and technology While some initial expectations have not been re-alized an increasing number of other applications have been discovered which have brought real practical benefits to mankind
This year marks the fifth conference in this series since it was inaugurated in 2009 It was founded to highlight contemporary techniques of holographic recording and replay including digital holography holographic materials switchable devices com-puter-generated holograms optical information processing security diffractive optics (Volume Holographic Optical Elements) metrology and the interferometric fabrication of photonic crystals We intend to provide a platform which also allows those in closely related areas (eg involving phase retrieval algorithms quantitative phase microsco-py sensing compression data storage and 3D im-aging and displays and including art holography and AugmentedMixedVirtual Reality) to share ideas and concepts

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray Optics have many applications in many areas of recent science and technology ranging from space (astronomy) to the laboratory and numerous alternative designs of these optics have been suggested and implement-ed The apertures range from micromirrors of less than 1 mm to a few meters in the case of space ap-plications Novel schemes of source-optics systems and experimental results show higher brightness and better imaging or diagnostic capabilities
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists manufacturers optical and mechanical engineers designers and users of EUV and X-ray optics in order to exchange ideas highlight possi-ble problems and challenges linked to their use and to seek ways to overcome the current limitations
New or potential users of EUV and X-ray optics will benefit from clear reviews by experienced special-ists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced optical arrangements An im-portant part of the meeting will be dedicated to the use of adaptive EUV and X-ray optics how to improve their performances and reviewing new re-sults and recent advances
An additional goal of the conference is to bring together EUV and X-ray optical scientists special-ising in both terrestrial and space applications with benefits for both sides Many application areas of EUV and X-ray optics require novel technologies and new approaches in order to achieve better im-aging quality and some approaches designed and developed originally for space optics should also be applicable in laboratory optics and vice versa
Presentations discussing technologies for future space X-ray astronomy missions are encouraged These missions require development of mostly in-novative technologies the possibilities the results obtained so far and details of new ideas are suit-able topics for discussion The recent situation in the field strongly demonstrates the urgent need of novel cost effective approaches and solutions
It is clear that the requirements of future large X-ray astronomy missions are so demanding that they need a truly interdisciplinary approach in a wide international collaboration The technologies will include X-ray optics based on Si wafers and ad-vanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics but also other possibilities as well as related advanced metrology measurement and testing These tech-nologies can also be used for laboratory EUV and X-ray optics and presentations based on such ap-plications will be welcome In addition discussions of new projects and results achieved in synchrotron and laboratory EUV and X-ray optics are requested including considerations of how related fields can benefit from these achievements
Both the laboratory and space EUV and X-ray com-munities have begun efforts in the development of active adaptive optics with the aim of achieving superfine angular or spatial resolutions This con-ference will also cover all aspects development and use of such optical techniques Researchers (including industrial partners) working in the fol-lowing aspects of EUV and X-ray optics are encour-aged to submit papers for consideration

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Photon counting represents the ultimate level of sensitivity in optical measurements The feasibil-ity of individual photon detection has opened a broad spectrum of new applications in both re-search and industry now
The fast emerging types of solid state photon de-tectors are providing simple cheap and rugged tools to register and time tag photons Super-conducting photon detectors either in the form of an ultrathin superconducting nano-stripe or a transition-edge sensor are presently the highest performance devices especially in the near-infra-red optical spectrum These devices are routinely used in quantum information experiments They exhibit high quantum efficiency MHz counting rate and very low jitter and can be implemented as photon-number andor photon-energy resolv-ing devices Avalanche photodiodes specifically designed for single photon counting have been developed on the basis of various materials during the last 30 years They have been tailored for nu-merous applications in optical sensors quantum cryptography optical ranging and Lidar time re-solved spectroscopy laser-induced fluorescence astronomy and optical time transfer to name just a few Finally there is a fast growing area of pho-ton counters based on various nanostructures and nanodevices as well as high energy radiation pho-ton detectors for nonproliferation security and medical uses The conference will gather an au-dience from the contributing research community active in the academic industrial space related physics and research fields
Quantum Optics incorporates a variety of experi-mental systems in which the interaction of single quantum objects can be controlled close to the ul-timate limit of fundamental quantum fluctuations These quantum objects include atoms ions and photons as well as artificial solid-state based ob-jects like electrons in quantum dots color-centers in solids or superconducting qubits The research focus is on the realization of strong enough cou-pling between quantum objects so that the con-trolled interaction can be employed as a building
block of quantum information processing Quan-tum state transfer of photons into quantum mem-ories and two-qubit quantum gates have been recently realized and are ready to be upgraded for being used in larger quantum networks and for extending the scope of applications All these efforts require the most possible detailed under-standing of quantum physics of these objects and their interactions in hybrid systems This objec-tive stimulates a large scope of experimental and theoretical researches ranging from entangle-ment theory as far as to material sciences which fields exhibit a convergence in their objectives and terminology In order to survey the current state-of-the-art in photon-based quantum infor-mation processing the discussion is open to both fundamental aspects as well as basic and applied research oriented on the realization of qubits and controlled interactions
The conference programme will consist of oral and poster presentations on topics that include but are not limited to
PHOTON COUNTING bull new photon counting detectors both
semiconducting and superconducting bull time correlated photon counting advancesbull photon number resolving detectionbull laser ranging and laser time transferbull photon counting devices in astronomybull laser-induced fluorescencebull single molecule detectionbull optical time domain reflectometrybull optical sensorsbull high-energy radiation photon detectorsbull imaging applications using multipixel photon

Specialised optical fibres have seen a significant resurgence in recent years becoming essential optical components designed to control and ma-nipulate light guided within an optical network enabling selective confinement routing dispersion or filtering to occur directly in the optical domain Specialised optical fibres can be broadly classified as solid step or gradient index types liquid core fibres and as photonic crystal or microstructure designs In the former case selective material dop-ing of the fibres can afford unique properties that allow for optical amplification or photosensitivity In the latter case photonic crystal fibre allows for photon propagation in the most intricate of ways with great flexibility we have far more control over the properties of photonic crystals than we do over the electronic properties of semiconductors There are three key features that define the development of a specialised fibre i) the composition of the host material ii) the waveguide design and iii) the use of specialised coatings
This conference aims to provide a forum for scien-tists and engineers-involved with the modelling design fabrication device integration and applica-tion of PCFs and specialty optical fibres-to present and share their latest research and findings This conference will expand on the existing innovations that relate to microstructure and speciality optical fibres detailing progress in the areas of fibre man-
ufacture devices and applications that target the fields of optical communications fibre lasers and amplifiers sensing and spectroscopy and incorpo-rating modelling of novel fibre geometries

A new era in Holography opened in 1961 when Leith and Upatnieks described the use of the off-axis reference beam to capturemdashon a single piece of photographic filmmdashthe complete record of the light wave resulting for the first time in ho-lographic images of excellent quality What is less well appreciated is that by 1967 Goodman and Lawrence had demonstrated a digital holograph-ic system Our last meeting in 2017 coincided with the 90th anniversary of the births in 1927 of both Leith (March 12th) and Denisyuk (July 27th) Today holography in its many forms is not only alive but is thriving It has found widespread applications throughout all fields of science and technology While some initial expectations have not been re-alized an increasing number of other applications have been discovered which have brought real practical benefits to mankind
This year marks the fifth conference in this series since it was inaugurated in 2009 It was founded to highlight contemporary techniques of holographic recording and replay including digital holography holographic materials switchable devices com-puter-generated holograms optical information processing security diffractive optics (Volume Holographic Optical Elements) metrology and the interferometric fabrication of photonic crystals We intend to provide a platform which also allows those in closely related areas (eg involving phase retrieval algorithms quantitative phase microsco-py sensing compression data storage and 3D im-aging and displays and including art holography and AugmentedMixedVirtual Reality) to share ideas and concepts

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray Optics have many applications in many areas of recent science and technology ranging from space (astronomy) to the laboratory and numerous alternative designs of these optics have been suggested and implement-ed The apertures range from micromirrors of less than 1 mm to a few meters in the case of space ap-plications Novel schemes of source-optics systems and experimental results show higher brightness and better imaging or diagnostic capabilities
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists manufacturers optical and mechanical engineers designers and users of EUV and X-ray optics in order to exchange ideas highlight possi-ble problems and challenges linked to their use and to seek ways to overcome the current limitations
New or potential users of EUV and X-ray optics will benefit from clear reviews by experienced special-ists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced optical arrangements An im-portant part of the meeting will be dedicated to the use of adaptive EUV and X-ray optics how to improve their performances and reviewing new re-sults and recent advances
An additional goal of the conference is to bring together EUV and X-ray optical scientists special-ising in both terrestrial and space applications with benefits for both sides Many application areas of EUV and X-ray optics require novel technologies and new approaches in order to achieve better im-aging quality and some approaches designed and developed originally for space optics should also be applicable in laboratory optics and vice versa
Presentations discussing technologies for future space X-ray astronomy missions are encouraged These missions require development of mostly in-novative technologies the possibilities the results obtained so far and details of new ideas are suit-able topics for discussion The recent situation in the field strongly demonstrates the urgent need of novel cost effective approaches and solutions
It is clear that the requirements of future large X-ray astronomy missions are so demanding that they need a truly interdisciplinary approach in a wide international collaboration The technologies will include X-ray optics based on Si wafers and ad-vanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics but also other possibilities as well as related advanced metrology measurement and testing These tech-nologies can also be used for laboratory EUV and X-ray optics and presentations based on such ap-plications will be welcome In addition discussions of new projects and results achieved in synchrotron and laboratory EUV and X-ray optics are requested including considerations of how related fields can benefit from these achievements
Both the laboratory and space EUV and X-ray com-munities have begun efforts in the development of active adaptive optics with the aim of achieving superfine angular or spatial resolutions This con-ference will also cover all aspects development and use of such optical techniques Researchers (including industrial partners) working in the fol-lowing aspects of EUV and X-ray optics are encour-aged to submit papers for consideration

Relativistic Plasma Waves and Particle Beams as Coherent and Incoherent Radiation Sources (OO112)Conference Chairs Dino A Jaroszynski Univ of Strathclyde (United Kingdom) MinSup Hur Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (Korea Republic of)

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Photon counting represents the ultimate level of sensitivity in optical measurements The feasibil-ity of individual photon detection has opened a broad spectrum of new applications in both re-search and industry now
The fast emerging types of solid state photon de-tectors are providing simple cheap and rugged tools to register and time tag photons Super-conducting photon detectors either in the form of an ultrathin superconducting nano-stripe or a transition-edge sensor are presently the highest performance devices especially in the near-infra-red optical spectrum These devices are routinely used in quantum information experiments They exhibit high quantum efficiency MHz counting rate and very low jitter and can be implemented as photon-number andor photon-energy resolv-ing devices Avalanche photodiodes specifically designed for single photon counting have been developed on the basis of various materials during the last 30 years They have been tailored for nu-merous applications in optical sensors quantum cryptography optical ranging and Lidar time re-solved spectroscopy laser-induced fluorescence astronomy and optical time transfer to name just a few Finally there is a fast growing area of pho-ton counters based on various nanostructures and nanodevices as well as high energy radiation pho-ton detectors for nonproliferation security and medical uses The conference will gather an au-dience from the contributing research community active in the academic industrial space related physics and research fields
Quantum Optics incorporates a variety of experi-mental systems in which the interaction of single quantum objects can be controlled close to the ul-timate limit of fundamental quantum fluctuations These quantum objects include atoms ions and photons as well as artificial solid-state based ob-jects like electrons in quantum dots color-centers in solids or superconducting qubits The research focus is on the realization of strong enough cou-pling between quantum objects so that the con-trolled interaction can be employed as a building
block of quantum information processing Quan-tum state transfer of photons into quantum mem-ories and two-qubit quantum gates have been recently realized and are ready to be upgraded for being used in larger quantum networks and for extending the scope of applications All these efforts require the most possible detailed under-standing of quantum physics of these objects and their interactions in hybrid systems This objec-tive stimulates a large scope of experimental and theoretical researches ranging from entangle-ment theory as far as to material sciences which fields exhibit a convergence in their objectives and terminology In order to survey the current state-of-the-art in photon-based quantum infor-mation processing the discussion is open to both fundamental aspects as well as basic and applied research oriented on the realization of qubits and controlled interactions
The conference programme will consist of oral and poster presentations on topics that include but are not limited to

Specialised optical fibres have seen a significant resurgence in recent years becoming essential optical components designed to control and ma-nipulate light guided within an optical network enabling selective confinement routing dispersion or filtering to occur directly in the optical domain Specialised optical fibres can be broadly classified as solid step or gradient index types liquid core fibres and as photonic crystal or microstructure designs In the former case selective material dop-ing of the fibres can afford unique properties that allow for optical amplification or photosensitivity In the latter case photonic crystal fibre allows for photon propagation in the most intricate of ways with great flexibility we have far more control over the properties of photonic crystals than we do over the electronic properties of semiconductors There are three key features that define the development of a specialised fibre i) the composition of the host material ii) the waveguide design and iii) the use of specialised coatings
This conference aims to provide a forum for scien-tists and engineers-involved with the modelling design fabrication device integration and applica-tion of PCFs and specialty optical fibres-to present and share their latest research and findings This conference will expand on the existing innovations that relate to microstructure and speciality optical fibres detailing progress in the areas of fibre man-
ufacture devices and applications that target the fields of optical communications fibre lasers and amplifiers sensing and spectroscopy and incorpo-rating modelling of novel fibre geometries

MATERIALS PROCESSES AND FABRICATION ADVANCES Advances in speciality and microstructure fibre
manufacture based on silica chalcogenide and multi-component glasses rare-earth doped fibres single crystal material fibre and polymer optical fibres as well as new and advanced coating materials

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray Optics have many applications in many areas of recent science and technology ranging from space (astronomy) to the laboratory and numerous alternative designs of these optics have been suggested and implement-ed The apertures range from micromirrors of less than 1 mm to a few meters in the case of space ap-plications Novel schemes of source-optics systems and experimental results show higher brightness and better imaging or diagnostic capabilities
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists manufacturers optical and mechanical engineers designers and users of EUV and X-ray optics in order to exchange ideas highlight possi-ble problems and challenges linked to their use and to seek ways to overcome the current limitations
New or potential users of EUV and X-ray optics will benefit from clear reviews by experienced special-ists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced optical arrangements An im-portant part of the meeting will be dedicated to the use of adaptive EUV and X-ray optics how to improve their performances and reviewing new re-sults and recent advances
An additional goal of the conference is to bring together EUV and X-ray optical scientists special-ising in both terrestrial and space applications with benefits for both sides Many application areas of EUV and X-ray optics require novel technologies and new approaches in order to achieve better im-aging quality and some approaches designed and developed originally for space optics should also be applicable in laboratory optics and vice versa
Presentations discussing technologies for future space X-ray astronomy missions are encouraged These missions require development of mostly in-novative technologies the possibilities the results obtained so far and details of new ideas are suit-able topics for discussion The recent situation in the field strongly demonstrates the urgent need of novel cost effective approaches and solutions
It is clear that the requirements of future large X-ray astronomy missions are so demanding that they need a truly interdisciplinary approach in a wide international collaboration The technologies will include X-ray optics based on Si wafers and ad-vanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics but also other possibilities as well as related advanced metrology measurement and testing These tech-nologies can also be used for laboratory EUV and X-ray optics and presentations based on such ap-plications will be welcome In addition discussions of new projects and results achieved in synchrotron and laboratory EUV and X-ray optics are requested including considerations of how related fields can benefit from these achievements
Both the laboratory and space EUV and X-ray com-munities have begun efforts in the development of active adaptive optics with the aim of achieving superfine angular or spatial resolutions This con-ference will also cover all aspects development and use of such optical techniques Researchers (including industrial partners) working in the fol-lowing aspects of EUV and X-ray optics are encour-aged to submit papers for consideration

Relativistic Plasma Waves and Particle Beams as Coherent and Incoherent Radiation Sources (OO112)Conference Chairs Dino A Jaroszynski Univ of Strathclyde (United Kingdom) MinSup Hur Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (Korea Republic of)

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Specialised optical fibres have seen a significant resurgence in recent years becoming essential optical components designed to control and ma-nipulate light guided within an optical network enabling selective confinement routing dispersion or filtering to occur directly in the optical domain Specialised optical fibres can be broadly classified as solid step or gradient index types liquid core fibres and as photonic crystal or microstructure designs In the former case selective material dop-ing of the fibres can afford unique properties that allow for optical amplification or photosensitivity In the latter case photonic crystal fibre allows for photon propagation in the most intricate of ways with great flexibility we have far more control over the properties of photonic crystals than we do over the electronic properties of semiconductors There are three key features that define the development of a specialised fibre i) the composition of the host material ii) the waveguide design and iii) the use of specialised coatings
This conference aims to provide a forum for scien-tists and engineers-involved with the modelling design fabrication device integration and applica-tion of PCFs and specialty optical fibres-to present and share their latest research and findings This conference will expand on the existing innovations that relate to microstructure and speciality optical fibres detailing progress in the areas of fibre man-
ufacture devices and applications that target the fields of optical communications fibre lasers and amplifiers sensing and spectroscopy and incorpo-rating modelling of novel fibre geometries
The conference programme will consist of both oral and poster presentations Papers are solicited on but not limited to the following topics
MATERIALS PROCESSES AND FABRICATION ADVANCES Advances in speciality and microstructure fibre
manufacture based on silica chalcogenide and multi-component glasses rare-earth doped fibres single crystal material fibre and polymer optical fibres as well as new and advanced coating materials
THEORY AND MODELLING Modelling and simulation of linear and

A new era in Holography opened in 1961 when Leith and Upatnieks described the use of the off-axis reference beam to capturemdashon a single piece of photographic filmmdashthe complete record of the light wave resulting for the first time in ho-lographic images of excellent quality What is less well appreciated is that by 1967 Goodman and Lawrence had demonstrated a digital holograph-ic system Our last meeting in 2017 coincided with the 90th anniversary of the births in 1927 of both Leith (March 12th) and Denisyuk (July 27th) Today holography in its many forms is not only alive but is thriving It has found widespread applications throughout all fields of science and technology While some initial expectations have not been re-alized an increasing number of other applications have been discovered which have brought real practical benefits to mankind
This year marks the fifth conference in this series since it was inaugurated in 2009 It was founded to highlight contemporary techniques of holographic recording and replay including digital holography holographic materials switchable devices com-puter-generated holograms optical information processing security diffractive optics (Volume Holographic Optical Elements) metrology and the interferometric fabrication of photonic crystals We intend to provide a platform which also allows those in closely related areas (eg involving phase retrieval algorithms quantitative phase microsco-py sensing compression data storage and 3D im-aging and displays and including art holography and AugmentedMixedVirtual Reality) to share ideas and concepts

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray Optics have many applications in many areas of recent science and technology ranging from space (astronomy) to the laboratory and numerous alternative designs of these optics have been suggested and implement-ed The apertures range from micromirrors of less than 1 mm to a few meters in the case of space ap-plications Novel schemes of source-optics systems and experimental results show higher brightness and better imaging or diagnostic capabilities
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists manufacturers optical and mechanical engineers designers and users of EUV and X-ray optics in order to exchange ideas highlight possi-ble problems and challenges linked to their use and to seek ways to overcome the current limitations
New or potential users of EUV and X-ray optics will benefit from clear reviews by experienced special-ists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced optical arrangements An im-portant part of the meeting will be dedicated to the use of adaptive EUV and X-ray optics how to improve their performances and reviewing new re-sults and recent advances
An additional goal of the conference is to bring together EUV and X-ray optical scientists special-ising in both terrestrial and space applications with benefits for both sides Many application areas of EUV and X-ray optics require novel technologies and new approaches in order to achieve better im-aging quality and some approaches designed and developed originally for space optics should also be applicable in laboratory optics and vice versa
Presentations discussing technologies for future space X-ray astronomy missions are encouraged These missions require development of mostly in-novative technologies the possibilities the results obtained so far and details of new ideas are suit-able topics for discussion The recent situation in the field strongly demonstrates the urgent need of novel cost effective approaches and solutions
It is clear that the requirements of future large X-ray astronomy missions are so demanding that they need a truly interdisciplinary approach in a wide international collaboration The technologies will include X-ray optics based on Si wafers and ad-vanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics but also other possibilities as well as related advanced metrology measurement and testing These tech-nologies can also be used for laboratory EUV and X-ray optics and presentations based on such ap-plications will be welcome In addition discussions of new projects and results achieved in synchrotron and laboratory EUV and X-ray optics are requested including considerations of how related fields can benefit from these achievements
Both the laboratory and space EUV and X-ray com-munities have begun efforts in the development of active adaptive optics with the aim of achieving superfine angular or spatial resolutions This con-ference will also cover all aspects development and use of such optical techniques Researchers (including industrial partners) working in the fol-lowing aspects of EUV and X-ray optics are encour-aged to submit papers for consideration

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Specialised optical fibres have seen a significant resurgence in recent years becoming essential optical components designed to control and ma-nipulate light guided within an optical network enabling selective confinement routing dispersion or filtering to occur directly in the optical domain Specialised optical fibres can be broadly classified as solid step or gradient index types liquid core fibres and as photonic crystal or microstructure designs In the former case selective material dop-ing of the fibres can afford unique properties that allow for optical amplification or photosensitivity In the latter case photonic crystal fibre allows for photon propagation in the most intricate of ways with great flexibility we have far more control over the properties of photonic crystals than we do over the electronic properties of semiconductors There are three key features that define the development of a specialised fibre i) the composition of the host material ii) the waveguide design and iii) the use of specialised coatings
This conference aims to provide a forum for scien-tists and engineers-involved with the modelling design fabrication device integration and applica-tion of PCFs and specialty optical fibres-to present and share their latest research and findings This conference will expand on the existing innovations that relate to microstructure and speciality optical fibres detailing progress in the areas of fibre man-
ufacture devices and applications that target the fields of optical communications fibre lasers and amplifiers sensing and spectroscopy and incorpo-rating modelling of novel fibre geometries

A new era in Holography opened in 1961 when Leith and Upatnieks described the use of the off-axis reference beam to capturemdashon a single piece of photographic filmmdashthe complete record of the light wave resulting for the first time in ho-lographic images of excellent quality What is less well appreciated is that by 1967 Goodman and Lawrence had demonstrated a digital holograph-ic system Our last meeting in 2017 coincided with the 90th anniversary of the births in 1927 of both Leith (March 12th) and Denisyuk (July 27th) Today holography in its many forms is not only alive but is thriving It has found widespread applications throughout all fields of science and technology While some initial expectations have not been re-alized an increasing number of other applications have been discovered which have brought real practical benefits to mankind
This year marks the fifth conference in this series since it was inaugurated in 2009 It was founded to highlight contemporary techniques of holographic recording and replay including digital holography holographic materials switchable devices com-puter-generated holograms optical information processing security diffractive optics (Volume Holographic Optical Elements) metrology and the interferometric fabrication of photonic crystals We intend to provide a platform which also allows those in closely related areas (eg involving phase retrieval algorithms quantitative phase microsco-py sensing compression data storage and 3D im-aging and displays and including art holography and AugmentedMixedVirtual Reality) to share ideas and concepts

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray Optics have many applications in many areas of recent science and technology ranging from space (astronomy) to the laboratory and numerous alternative designs of these optics have been suggested and implement-ed The apertures range from micromirrors of less than 1 mm to a few meters in the case of space ap-plications Novel schemes of source-optics systems and experimental results show higher brightness and better imaging or diagnostic capabilities
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists manufacturers optical and mechanical engineers designers and users of EUV and X-ray optics in order to exchange ideas highlight possi-ble problems and challenges linked to their use and to seek ways to overcome the current limitations
New or potential users of EUV and X-ray optics will benefit from clear reviews by experienced special-ists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced optical arrangements An im-portant part of the meeting will be dedicated to the use of adaptive EUV and X-ray optics how to improve their performances and reviewing new re-sults and recent advances
An additional goal of the conference is to bring together EUV and X-ray optical scientists special-ising in both terrestrial and space applications with benefits for both sides Many application areas of EUV and X-ray optics require novel technologies and new approaches in order to achieve better im-aging quality and some approaches designed and developed originally for space optics should also be applicable in laboratory optics and vice versa
Presentations discussing technologies for future space X-ray astronomy missions are encouraged These missions require development of mostly in-novative technologies the possibilities the results obtained so far and details of new ideas are suit-able topics for discussion The recent situation in the field strongly demonstrates the urgent need of novel cost effective approaches and solutions
It is clear that the requirements of future large X-ray astronomy missions are so demanding that they need a truly interdisciplinary approach in a wide international collaboration The technologies will include X-ray optics based on Si wafers and ad-vanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics but also other possibilities as well as related advanced metrology measurement and testing These tech-nologies can also be used for laboratory EUV and X-ray optics and presentations based on such ap-plications will be welcome In addition discussions of new projects and results achieved in synchrotron and laboratory EUV and X-ray optics are requested including considerations of how related fields can benefit from these achievements
Both the laboratory and space EUV and X-ray com-munities have begun efforts in the development of active adaptive optics with the aim of achieving superfine angular or spatial resolutions This con-ference will also cover all aspects development and use of such optical techniques Researchers (including industrial partners) working in the fol-lowing aspects of EUV and X-ray optics are encour-aged to submit papers for consideration

Relativistic Plasma Waves and Particle Beams as Coherent and Incoherent Radiation Sources (OO112)Conference Chairs Dino A Jaroszynski Univ of Strathclyde (United Kingdom) MinSup Hur Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (Korea Republic of)

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

A new era in Holography opened in 1961 when Leith and Upatnieks described the use of the off-axis reference beam to capturemdashon a single piece of photographic filmmdashthe complete record of the light wave resulting for the first time in ho-lographic images of excellent quality What is less well appreciated is that by 1967 Goodman and Lawrence had demonstrated a digital holograph-ic system Our last meeting in 2017 coincided with the 90th anniversary of the births in 1927 of both Leith (March 12th) and Denisyuk (July 27th) Today holography in its many forms is not only alive but is thriving It has found widespread applications throughout all fields of science and technology While some initial expectations have not been re-alized an increasing number of other applications have been discovered which have brought real practical benefits to mankind
This year marks the fifth conference in this series since it was inaugurated in 2009 It was founded to highlight contemporary techniques of holographic recording and replay including digital holography holographic materials switchable devices com-puter-generated holograms optical information processing security diffractive optics (Volume Holographic Optical Elements) metrology and the interferometric fabrication of photonic crystals We intend to provide a platform which also allows those in closely related areas (eg involving phase retrieval algorithms quantitative phase microsco-py sensing compression data storage and 3D im-aging and displays and including art holography and AugmentedMixedVirtual Reality) to share ideas and concepts

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray Optics have many applications in many areas of recent science and technology ranging from space (astronomy) to the laboratory and numerous alternative designs of these optics have been suggested and implement-ed The apertures range from micromirrors of less than 1 mm to a few meters in the case of space ap-plications Novel schemes of source-optics systems and experimental results show higher brightness and better imaging or diagnostic capabilities
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists manufacturers optical and mechanical engineers designers and users of EUV and X-ray optics in order to exchange ideas highlight possi-ble problems and challenges linked to their use and to seek ways to overcome the current limitations
New or potential users of EUV and X-ray optics will benefit from clear reviews by experienced special-ists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced optical arrangements An im-portant part of the meeting will be dedicated to the use of adaptive EUV and X-ray optics how to improve their performances and reviewing new re-sults and recent advances
An additional goal of the conference is to bring together EUV and X-ray optical scientists special-ising in both terrestrial and space applications with benefits for both sides Many application areas of EUV and X-ray optics require novel technologies and new approaches in order to achieve better im-aging quality and some approaches designed and developed originally for space optics should also be applicable in laboratory optics and vice versa
Presentations discussing technologies for future space X-ray astronomy missions are encouraged These missions require development of mostly in-novative technologies the possibilities the results obtained so far and details of new ideas are suit-able topics for discussion The recent situation in the field strongly demonstrates the urgent need of novel cost effective approaches and solutions
It is clear that the requirements of future large X-ray astronomy missions are so demanding that they need a truly interdisciplinary approach in a wide international collaboration The technologies will include X-ray optics based on Si wafers and ad-vanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics but also other possibilities as well as related advanced metrology measurement and testing These tech-nologies can also be used for laboratory EUV and X-ray optics and presentations based on such ap-plications will be welcome In addition discussions of new projects and results achieved in synchrotron and laboratory EUV and X-ray optics are requested including considerations of how related fields can benefit from these achievements
Both the laboratory and space EUV and X-ray com-munities have begun efforts in the development of active adaptive optics with the aim of achieving superfine angular or spatial resolutions This con-ference will also cover all aspects development and use of such optical techniques Researchers (including industrial partners) working in the fol-lowing aspects of EUV and X-ray optics are encour-aged to submit papers for consideration

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

A new era in Holography opened in 1961 when Leith and Upatnieks described the use of the off-axis reference beam to capturemdashon a single piece of photographic filmmdashthe complete record of the light wave resulting for the first time in ho-lographic images of excellent quality What is less well appreciated is that by 1967 Goodman and Lawrence had demonstrated a digital holograph-ic system Our last meeting in 2017 coincided with the 90th anniversary of the births in 1927 of both Leith (March 12th) and Denisyuk (July 27th) Today holography in its many forms is not only alive but is thriving It has found widespread applications throughout all fields of science and technology While some initial expectations have not been re-alized an increasing number of other applications have been discovered which have brought real practical benefits to mankind
This year marks the fifth conference in this series since it was inaugurated in 2009 It was founded to highlight contemporary techniques of holographic recording and replay including digital holography holographic materials switchable devices com-puter-generated holograms optical information processing security diffractive optics (Volume Holographic Optical Elements) metrology and the interferometric fabrication of photonic crystals We intend to provide a platform which also allows those in closely related areas (eg involving phase retrieval algorithms quantitative phase microsco-py sensing compression data storage and 3D im-aging and displays and including art holography and AugmentedMixedVirtual Reality) to share ideas and concepts

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray Optics have many applications in many areas of recent science and technology ranging from space (astronomy) to the laboratory and numerous alternative designs of these optics have been suggested and implement-ed The apertures range from micromirrors of less than 1 mm to a few meters in the case of space ap-plications Novel schemes of source-optics systems and experimental results show higher brightness and better imaging or diagnostic capabilities
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists manufacturers optical and mechanical engineers designers and users of EUV and X-ray optics in order to exchange ideas highlight possi-ble problems and challenges linked to their use and to seek ways to overcome the current limitations
New or potential users of EUV and X-ray optics will benefit from clear reviews by experienced special-ists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced optical arrangements An im-portant part of the meeting will be dedicated to the use of adaptive EUV and X-ray optics how to improve their performances and reviewing new re-sults and recent advances
An additional goal of the conference is to bring together EUV and X-ray optical scientists special-ising in both terrestrial and space applications with benefits for both sides Many application areas of EUV and X-ray optics require novel technologies and new approaches in order to achieve better im-aging quality and some approaches designed and developed originally for space optics should also be applicable in laboratory optics and vice versa
Presentations discussing technologies for future space X-ray astronomy missions are encouraged These missions require development of mostly in-novative technologies the possibilities the results obtained so far and details of new ideas are suit-able topics for discussion The recent situation in the field strongly demonstrates the urgent need of novel cost effective approaches and solutions
It is clear that the requirements of future large X-ray astronomy missions are so demanding that they need a truly interdisciplinary approach in a wide international collaboration The technologies will include X-ray optics based on Si wafers and ad-vanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics but also other possibilities as well as related advanced metrology measurement and testing These tech-nologies can also be used for laboratory EUV and X-ray optics and presentations based on such ap-plications will be welcome In addition discussions of new projects and results achieved in synchrotron and laboratory EUV and X-ray optics are requested including considerations of how related fields can benefit from these achievements
Both the laboratory and space EUV and X-ray com-munities have begun efforts in the development of active adaptive optics with the aim of achieving superfine angular or spatial resolutions This con-ference will also cover all aspects development and use of such optical techniques Researchers (including industrial partners) working in the fol-lowing aspects of EUV and X-ray optics are encour-aged to submit papers for consideration

Relativistic Plasma Waves and Particle Beams as Coherent and Incoherent Radiation Sources (OO112)Conference Chairs Dino A Jaroszynski Univ of Strathclyde (United Kingdom) MinSup Hur Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (Korea Republic of)

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray Optics have many applications in many areas of recent science and technology ranging from space (astronomy) to the laboratory and numerous alternative designs of these optics have been suggested and implement-ed The apertures range from micromirrors of less than 1 mm to a few meters in the case of space ap-plications Novel schemes of source-optics systems and experimental results show higher brightness and better imaging or diagnostic capabilities
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists manufacturers optical and mechanical engineers designers and users of EUV and X-ray optics in order to exchange ideas highlight possi-ble problems and challenges linked to their use and to seek ways to overcome the current limitations
New or potential users of EUV and X-ray optics will benefit from clear reviews by experienced special-ists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced optical arrangements An im-portant part of the meeting will be dedicated to the use of adaptive EUV and X-ray optics how to improve their performances and reviewing new re-sults and recent advances
An additional goal of the conference is to bring together EUV and X-ray optical scientists special-ising in both terrestrial and space applications with benefits for both sides Many application areas of EUV and X-ray optics require novel technologies and new approaches in order to achieve better im-aging quality and some approaches designed and developed originally for space optics should also be applicable in laboratory optics and vice versa
Presentations discussing technologies for future space X-ray astronomy missions are encouraged These missions require development of mostly in-novative technologies the possibilities the results obtained so far and details of new ideas are suit-able topics for discussion The recent situation in the field strongly demonstrates the urgent need of novel cost effective approaches and solutions
It is clear that the requirements of future large X-ray astronomy missions are so demanding that they need a truly interdisciplinary approach in a wide international collaboration The technologies will include X-ray optics based on Si wafers and ad-vanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics but also other possibilities as well as related advanced metrology measurement and testing These tech-nologies can also be used for laboratory EUV and X-ray optics and presentations based on such ap-plications will be welcome In addition discussions of new projects and results achieved in synchrotron and laboratory EUV and X-ray optics are requested including considerations of how related fields can benefit from these achievements
Both the laboratory and space EUV and X-ray com-munities have begun efforts in the development of active adaptive optics with the aim of achieving superfine angular or spatial resolutions This con-ference will also cover all aspects development and use of such optical techniques Researchers (including industrial partners) working in the fol-lowing aspects of EUV and X-ray optics are encour-aged to submit papers for consideration

Relativistic Plasma Waves and Particle Beams as Coherent and Incoherent Radiation Sources (OO112)Conference Chairs Dino A Jaroszynski Univ of Strathclyde (United Kingdom) MinSup Hur Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (Korea Republic of)

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray Optics have many applications in many areas of recent science and technology ranging from space (astronomy) to the laboratory and numerous alternative designs of these optics have been suggested and implement-ed The apertures range from micromirrors of less than 1 mm to a few meters in the case of space ap-plications Novel schemes of source-optics systems and experimental results show higher brightness and better imaging or diagnostic capabilities
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists manufacturers optical and mechanical engineers designers and users of EUV and X-ray optics in order to exchange ideas highlight possi-ble problems and challenges linked to their use and to seek ways to overcome the current limitations
New or potential users of EUV and X-ray optics will benefit from clear reviews by experienced special-ists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced optical arrangements An im-portant part of the meeting will be dedicated to the use of adaptive EUV and X-ray optics how to improve their performances and reviewing new re-sults and recent advances
An additional goal of the conference is to bring together EUV and X-ray optical scientists special-ising in both terrestrial and space applications with benefits for both sides Many application areas of EUV and X-ray optics require novel technologies and new approaches in order to achieve better im-aging quality and some approaches designed and developed originally for space optics should also be applicable in laboratory optics and vice versa
Presentations discussing technologies for future space X-ray astronomy missions are encouraged These missions require development of mostly in-novative technologies the possibilities the results obtained so far and details of new ideas are suit-able topics for discussion The recent situation in the field strongly demonstrates the urgent need of novel cost effective approaches and solutions
It is clear that the requirements of future large X-ray astronomy missions are so demanding that they need a truly interdisciplinary approach in a wide international collaboration The technologies will include X-ray optics based on Si wafers and ad-vanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics but also other possibilities as well as related advanced metrology measurement and testing These tech-nologies can also be used for laboratory EUV and X-ray optics and presentations based on such ap-plications will be welcome In addition discussions of new projects and results achieved in synchrotron and laboratory EUV and X-ray optics are requested including considerations of how related fields can benefit from these achievements
Both the laboratory and space EUV and X-ray com-munities have begun efforts in the development of active adaptive optics with the aim of achieving superfine angular or spatial resolutions This con-ference will also cover all aspects development and use of such optical techniques Researchers (including industrial partners) working in the fol-lowing aspects of EUV and X-ray optics are encour-aged to submit papers for consideration

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray Optics have many applications in many areas of recent science and technology ranging from space (astronomy) to the laboratory and numerous alternative designs of these optics have been suggested and implement-ed The apertures range from micromirrors of less than 1 mm to a few meters in the case of space ap-plications Novel schemes of source-optics systems and experimental results show higher brightness and better imaging or diagnostic capabilities
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists manufacturers optical and mechanical engineers designers and users of EUV and X-ray optics in order to exchange ideas highlight possi-ble problems and challenges linked to their use and to seek ways to overcome the current limitations
New or potential users of EUV and X-ray optics will benefit from clear reviews by experienced special-ists discussing the advantages and disadvantages of these advanced optical arrangements An im-portant part of the meeting will be dedicated to the use of adaptive EUV and X-ray optics how to improve their performances and reviewing new re-sults and recent advances
An additional goal of the conference is to bring together EUV and X-ray optical scientists special-ising in both terrestrial and space applications with benefits for both sides Many application areas of EUV and X-ray optics require novel technologies and new approaches in order to achieve better im-aging quality and some approaches designed and developed originally for space optics should also be applicable in laboratory optics and vice versa
Presentations discussing technologies for future space X-ray astronomy missions are encouraged These missions require development of mostly in-novative technologies the possibilities the results obtained so far and details of new ideas are suit-able topics for discussion The recent situation in the field strongly demonstrates the urgent need of novel cost effective approaches and solutions
It is clear that the requirements of future large X-ray astronomy missions are so demanding that they need a truly interdisciplinary approach in a wide international collaboration The technologies will include X-ray optics based on Si wafers and ad-vanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics but also other possibilities as well as related advanced metrology measurement and testing These tech-nologies can also be used for laboratory EUV and X-ray optics and presentations based on such ap-plications will be welcome In addition discussions of new projects and results achieved in synchrotron and laboratory EUV and X-ray optics are requested including considerations of how related fields can benefit from these achievements
Both the laboratory and space EUV and X-ray com-munities have begun efforts in the development of active adaptive optics with the aim of achieving superfine angular or spatial resolutions This con-ference will also cover all aspects development and use of such optical techniques Researchers (including industrial partners) working in the fol-lowing aspects of EUV and X-ray optics are encour-aged to submit papers for consideration

Relativistic Plasma Waves and Particle Beams as Coherent and Incoherent Radiation Sources (OO112)Conference Chairs Dino A Jaroszynski Univ of Strathclyde (United Kingdom) MinSup Hur Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (Korea Republic of)

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Relativistic Plasma Waves and Particle Beams as Coherent and Incoherent Radiation Sources (OO112)Conference Chairs Dino A Jaroszynski Univ of Strathclyde (United Kingdom) MinSup Hur Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (Korea Republic of)

Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

Relativistic Plasma Waves and Particle Beams as Coherent and Incoherent Radiation Sources (OO112)Conference Chairs Dino A Jaroszynski Univ of Strathclyde (United Kingdom) MinSup Hur Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (Korea Republic of)
Programme Committee Min Chen Shanghai Jiao Tong Univ (China) John P Farmer Heinrich-Heine-Univ Duumlsseldorf (Germany) Nathaniel J Fisch Princeton Univ (United States) Punit Kumar Univ of Lucknow (India) Antoine Rousse Ecole Nationale Supeacuterieure de Techniques Avanceacutees (France) Luis O Silva Univ Teacutecnica de Lisboa (Portugal) Roman Spesyvtsev Univ of Strathclyde (United Kingdom) Hyyong Suk Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (Korea Republic of) Luca Volpe Univ degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca (Italy) Stefan A Weber Institute of Physics of the CAS vvi (Czech Republic) Xue Yang Capital Normal Univ Beijing Advanced Innovation Ctr for Imaging Technology (China)
Relativistic plasma waves driven by high-power ultra-short pulse lasers are providing new oppor-tunities for developing ultra-compact coherent and incoherent radiation sources which span a broad spectral range from millimetre wavelengths to X-rays and even beyond to gamma rays
Laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelera-tors have acceleration gradients more than a thou-sand times that of conventional accelerators These ultra-compact accelerators are now being devel-oped into compact synchrotron sources free-elec-tron lasers and gamma ray sources The radial electrostatic forces of plasma waves and the avail-ability of counter-propagating laser beams pro-vides a unique opportunity to develop ultra-short period wigglers thus making possible sources of radiation with photon energies extending to hard X-rays and gamma rays and of unprecedented bril-liance and short pulse duration Transition Cheren-kov and diffraction radiation from the femtosecond duration electron bunches is opening up the possi-bility of single cycle radiation fields with unprece-dented intensities
Furthermore scattering laser radiation from rela-tivistic plasma waves produces high intensity co-herent radiation beams with high efficiency which can result in high intensity attosecond duration coherent XUV radiation
Plasma waves are being used to amplify light through Brillouin Compton and Raman backscat-tering which may provide a new route to very high power and efficient parametric amplifiers They can also be used to produce transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements such as holo-grams mirrors and compressors polarizers wave-plates etc
Radiation arising from laser-plasma interactions is extending the range of applications of electro-magnetic radiation into domains of science that are not usually associated with lasers which include probing the nucleus QED astrophysics and follow-ing the evolution of matter on its natural time and space scales
If these relativistic plasma based sources are de-veloped to maturity they could transform the way science is done-by making them widely available and delivering intense photon beams with unique properties
Papers are solicited on (not exclusively) the follow-ing areas bull synchrotron sources and free-electron lasers
based on laser and beam driven plasma wakefield accelerators
bull betatron and ion channel sources based on plasma accelerators and plasma wigglers
bull scattering from relativistic plasma waves and ionisation fronts as coherent sources
bull parametric amplification using plasma waves Brillouin Compton and Raman amplifiers compressors
bull transient plasma photonic crystals as robust optical elements
bull terahertz and infrared sources based on laser-plasma interactions
bull applications of laser-plasma radiation sourcesbull high-field applications of intense laser fields

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop

Applying Laser-driven Particle Acceleration Medical and Nonmedical Uses of Distinctive Energetic Particle and Photon Sources II (WS201)Conference Chairs Paul R Bolton Ludwig-Maximilians-Univ Muumlnchen (Germany)

In this multi-petawatt laser era development of high power laser systems continues with repe-tition-rated petawatt lasers now commercially available Multi-petawatt system commissioning is underway in some laboratories and 10 petawatt peak power demonstration is on the horizon Ba-sic mechanisms and challenges for laser accelera-tion of particles in extreme plasma environments are becoming better understood and power level requirements for reaching specified bunch charge and kinetic energy can be readily simulated Laser pulses focused tightly onto a target can unique-ly generate intense beams of electrons protons other ions neutrons X-rays and gamma-rays from abruptly induced plasmas Meaningful applications motivate the development of these laser-driven secondary sources which we can view as candi-dates for a wide variety of possibilities
The ALPA Workshop has evolved from previous SPIE conferences in particular from the lsquoMedical Applications of Laser-Generated Beams of Parti-clesrsquo conference in 2017 With recently extended scope it continues to prominently feature the po-tential for medical applications in sessions that can include laser and source requirements radi-ation oncology radiation biology and diagnostic development However we also address all other
potential applications of laser-driven energetic particle and photon sources in appropriate ses-sions as needed Added topics of interest include (and are not limited to) fast radiobiological pro-cesses ultrafast radiation chemistry food quality assessment material irradiation (processing and modification) nanoparticle synthesis cultural her-itage diagnostics ion beam (nuclear) analysis ion implantation innovative x-ray and proton imaging dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) applications uses of laser-driven neutron sources ionoacoustics and space radiation effects (notably in biological sys-tems and electronic devices) The ALPA Workshop therefore brings to global researchers an appropri-ately broader view of laser-driven source capability and applications
Workshop speakers will present a broad range of potential applications of these distinctive sec-ondary sources as they emerge from science and technology of the burgeoning multi-petawatt laser era where trends can rapidly evolve and synergies can be important All potential applications of la-ser-driven energetic particle and photon sources are relevant to SPIErsquos 2021 ALPA Workshop
