The International Conference on Lasers and Applications, Lasers 'XX was an annual conference organized by the former Society for Optical and Quantum Electronics. The conference, known in short by ''Lasers 'XX''〔( ''Lasers'' '85 at Adsabs Harvard )〕〔(''Lasers'' '91 at Refdoc France )〕〔(''Lasers'' '92 at NASA )〕 (where XX refers to the particular year), was held at various locations in The United States from 1978 to 2000. The emphasis of these conferences was laser development and in particular the development of high-power lasers.〔''Laser Focus'' 23(4), 203 (1987).〕〔R. W. Conrad, Progress in dye lasers, ''Applied Optics'' 26, 653 (1987).〕〔I. L. Bass ''et al.'', High average power dye laser at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, ''Applied Optics'' 31, 6993-7006 (1992).〕 The papers delivered at these conferences were published in a series of hard-bound volumes known as ''Proceedings of the International Conference on Lasers 'XX'' (ISSN 0190-4142) by STS Press. In total, more than 20 book proceedings were published. A particular feature of these conferences was the organization of high-power panel discussions on timely topics of interest, such as the role of lasers in directed energy and the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), during the presidency of Ronald Reagan.〔C. P. Wang, ''Proceedings of the International Conference on Lasers '85'' (STS Press, McLean, VA, 1986).〕〔F. J. Duarte, ''Proceedings of the International Conference on Lasers '87'' (STS Press, Mc Lean, VA, 1988).〕 Noted physicists, including Edward Teller and Arthur Kantrowitz, participated in these discussions. Towards the end of the Cold War this conference enjoyed the participation of numerous Soviet laser physicists, including prominent authors such as Alexander Prokhorov and Nikolay Basov.〔F. J.
