In view of pervading global difficulties, the Abstract submission is extended to April 25th, 2022. Given the sanctions imposed/planned and inter-institutional agreements revoked, we feel compelled to discourage our collegues from Russia and allied countries from planning in-person participation.

The 13th international conference series on Laser-light and Interactions with Particles (LIP) - Optical Particle Characterization follow-up! is organized by the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IF-PAS) on August 21-26th, 2022, Warsaw, Poland. Due to possible travel restrictions during this summer, the conference is planned to be a hybrid, mixing traditional in- person participations and remote participations (via video conferencing).

The conference is focused on interactions between laser beams and particles, from theory to practice (download the flyer), encompassing in particular the following fundamental topics :

particle characterization methods (interferometric, polarimetric, spectral, static, dynamic...),
near-field, far-field and time-resolved scattering (computations, laboratory experiments...)
plasmonics, other resonances and caustics (probing, scattering enhancement, modelling...)
complex shaped particles and aggregates (morphology, composition, functionalization...)
multiple scattering and random media (dense, turbulent,...)
mechanical effects of light (particle manipulation, force measurement, optical tweezer...)
laser beams description (contributions acoustical and quantum beams are also welcomed). and application domains:
two- and multiphase flow characterization ( combustion, spray, bubbly flow...),
aerosol and atmospheric sciences (nucleation, transport, characterization...),
plasma and soft matter physics (nanocristallite, Coulomb crystal, colloids, suspensions, aggregation, ,...),
biomedical optical engineering (cell manipulation and properties, microrheology...),
remote sensing and free space communication (holography, lidar, turbulence...).
