The conference is focused on interactions between laser beams and particles, from theory to practice, encompassing in particular the following topics : Beam shape description, far-field scattering, near fields and morphology-dependent-resonances,time-resolved scattering,Mechanical effects of light,multiple scattering in dense media,Complex shaped particles and aggregates, optical particle sizing and characterization methods.

Although the conference is mainly intended to deal with electromagnetic beams (vectorial scattering), papers dealing with acoustical and quantum beams (scalar waves) however presenting significant enough correlations with the main issues of the conference will be welcome.

Applications may range from multiphase flow characterization to aerosol science and atmospheric environment, biomedical optical engineering, remote manipulation of objects, plasma and soft matter physics, quantum electrodynamics in cavities, etc.

The call for papers and the registration are already open as well as the call for exibitors and sponsors (see at www.lip2014.eu)
