PREFACE

10th anniversary International Conference «Beam Technologies and Laser Applications» (BTLA - 2021) was held successfully in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, during September 20-22, 2021. Traditionally, the conference is held once every three years. This is one of the leading international conferences for presenting novel and fundamental advances in the fields of beam technologies. The conference program is extensive and reflects the main global trends in the development of laser, electron beam and related technologies: from fundamental research and applied developments to the implementation of advanced production technologies in industry and digitalization of production processes. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, our foreign colleagues, who have traditionally participated in the conference for many years, could not personally attend the conference. However, the conference participants had the opportunity to hear their reports using remote technologies. But this year the geography of Russian participants is vast, representatives of more than 40 organizations made reports. Within the framework of the conference, a plenary session, thematic sections and master classes were held. Over three days of the conference, more than 100 reports were made.
