The laser is one of the remarkable inventions of the 20th century that provided the most innovative and useful tool for experimental fluid mechanics. Technological developments in lasers, detectors, electronics, and computers have then continued to be the source of new techniques, improved accuracy, higher spatial or temporal resolution, and new applications. Over the past 36 years, The International Symposia on Applications of Laser Techniques to Fluid Mechanics often referred to simply as the "Lisbon Symposia", have been persistently providing forums for promoting the interchange of new ideas on the development of advanced techniques for flow measurement and on the latest applications in the field.
