It is an honor to invite Professor Algis Piskarskas, President of Lithuanian Laser Association, to make a presentation about “Lithuania Laser Industry and Development”. Professor Piskarskas is one of the early experts to join the laser research works, and he makes very important contribution to Lithuania laser. He is also called “The Father of Laser” in Lithuania. “Almost 50 years ago, Lithuania laser started from zero. The studies & research of laser physics and quantum electronics in Vilnius University began in 1970, the pilot facility of lasers and related technique was established in 1983 and now we have 24 laser companies, including EKSPLA, EKSMA, Light Conversion, Standa, Altechna, Brolis etc. I’m very proud to say that the laser source for science from Lithuania occupies almost 10% in the world, and we double the sales nearly every five years”, said Prof. Piskarskas.
