On 10-13 June, a group of scientists from the FTMC Department of Laser Technologies participated in the 9th International Congress on Laser Advanced Materials Processing - LAMP2025, which took place in Ise-city, Japan. The conference is organised every second year in Japan, and every second year in another country. In 2014, the congress was held in Lithuania.
 
LAMP2025 brings together two important international symposia:
 
- Laser Precision Microfabrication (LPM)
- High Power Laser Processing (HPL)
 
"This event is dedicated to the application of cutting-edge laser technologies in both fundamental research and industry - from micro to macro scale processing. It is one of the most important conferences in the field of laser materials processing, bringing together world-class researchers and industry representatives every year to share the latest advances and establish collaborations.
 
Participation in LAMP2025 is not only a prestigious recognition of the activities of FTMC scientists, but also a strategically important opportunity to expand international contacts, promote knowledge exchange and develop joint research and experimental development (R&D) projects," explains Dr Romualdas Trusovas, a scientist at the Laser Microfabrication Laboratory of FTMC Department of Laser Technologies.
 
In total, 298 registered participants took part in the congress, with 16 scientists representing Lithuania. Our colleagues and other Lithuanians shared the fourth place with France among the 22 participating countries.

FTMC was represented by oral presentations by Dr Gediminas Račiukaitis, Dr Romualdas Trusovas, Dr Paulius Gečys, Dr Karolis Ratautas, Dr Juozas Dudutis, Dr Evaldas Stankevičius, and Dr Valdemar Stankevič. PhD students Kernius Vilkevičius, Rodrigas Liudvinavičius, and Modestas Sadauskas also presented their work.
 
"Our scientists shared achievements in processing transparent materials using ultrashort laser pulses at FTMC, as well as innovative techniques based on non-diffractive beams, burst-mode pulses and advanced glass cutting and drilling processes. The potential of the FTMC has been demonstrated both in fundamental research and in its applications in electronics and photonics," says Trusovas.
 
FTMC - Active Organiser of the Event
 
It is worth mentioning that scientists from the FTMC Department of Laser Technologies not only participated in the event, but also contributed to its organising. They initiated and hosted the special session 'Ultrashort Pulse Laser Processing of Transparent Materials', which focused on modern methods and technologies for:
 
- Cutting, milling and internal modifications of glass;
- creating through-glass vias;
- burst-mode applications;
- and the application of specially shaped laser beams (e.g. Bessel-type) to complex processes.
 
This session was organised by Dr Gediminas Račiukaitis and Dr Paulius Gečys (FTMC), together with Prof. Razvan Stoian (Jean Monnet University in Saint-Étienne, France).
 
Dr Juozas Dudutis (FTMC) gave an invited talk on the topic 'Non-diffractive laser beams in transparent material processing', presenting new ways in which long-depth of focus beams can be used for precise shaping of internal structures in transparent materials.
