The international symposium was organized by the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. It was held in Prague from Sunday, 24 September 2017 to Thursday, 28 September 2017.
The LAPD18 Symposium was the continuation of a biennial series that began at Kyushu University
in 1983. It brought together physicists and chemists in diverse areas of laser-based plasma
diagnostics including the physics of nuclear fusion, laser physics and low-temperature plasma
chemistry and physics. The symposium aimed to promote cross-pollination of these fields via
fruitful discussion, and covers all diagnostics using electromagnetic waves (lasers and microwaves)
applied to fusion plasmas, industrial process plasmas, environmental plasmas, plasmas for medical
applications, atmospheric plasmas, plasmas in liquids and other plasma applications. Topics on
hardware developments related to laser-aided plasma diagnostics are also welcome. Instrumentation
developments related to laser-aided plasma diagnostics also received emphasis in the program.
