Palma de Mallorca, Spain – May 15-17, 2024
The 7th International Conference on Optics, Photonics, and Lasers (OPAL 2024) brought together leading experts, researchers, and industry professionals to explore the latest advancements in optical technologies, photonics, and laser applications. Organized by the International Frequency Sensor Association (IFSA), this event served as a key platform for scientific exchange and innovation, offering plenary talks, technical sessions, poster presentations, and industry exhibitions.
Within this setting, MoSaiC project showcased its latest research on biological threat detection using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). The findings were presented through a poster session titled “Biological Threats Detection by LIBS Spectroscopy”, authored by I. Petrignani (presenter), S. Almaviva, A. Pasquo, A. Lai, and F. Colao. The research, now published in the OPAL 2024 Proceedings edited by Sergey Y. Yurish, highlights MoSaiC’s advancements in using LIBS for rapid, non-invasive identification of biological threats.
This contribution aligns with MoSaiC’s commitment to developing advanced, field-deployable detection technologies that enhance situational awareness and response capabilities in C-B risk scenarios. The conference provided an opportunity to engage with the broader optics and photonics community, fostering collaborations and driving forward innovation in laser-based sensing and analytical techniques.
