IZEST

The next two ICAN workshops will take place in Jena, Germany on 18th and 19th June 2012.
The topics of the workshop will be:
- WS3 — Driver (Applications for Highest peak power fiber laser systems)
- WS4 — Fibers
Despite this, the discussion will be continued about a possible laser architecture, main components and possible funding strategies for first demonstration.

Location: The workshop will take place at the Fraunhofer IOF Jena travel maps and directions are attached.
