美国激光学会主办的首次国际激光与电-光学器件应用会议,约3500位与会者对咨询会及展览品发生了兴趣,118个单位在9月20～23日波士顿交流会上展示了他们的产品。会议对各种应用领域的当前实践和有待解决的问题进行了广泛的评论。特别有意义的是医学和生物学讨论会,它回顾了众所周知的激光外科成就和激光外科医师尚不太熟悉的需求。例如,发言者强调需要一种激光作用于组织时能确定其后果的有效方法。所提出的几个模拟技术都是建立在热流数学基础上 Approximately 3,500 attendees were interested in the conference and exhibition, the first international conference on laser and electro-optic applications hosted by the American Laser Society, and 118 units demonstrated their products at the September 20-23 Boston Symposium . The meeting made extensive comments on current practices and issues to be solved in various fields of application. Of particular interest is the Medical and Biological Symposium, which reviews the well-known achievements of laser surgery and the less-than-familiar needs of laser surgeons. For example, speakers emphasized the need for an effective method of determining the consequences of laser action on tissue. Several proposed simulation techniques are based on heat flow mathematics
