Abstract
When the laser was invented some forty years ago, no-one envisaged its many areas of application today.
A laser emits coherent light; could coherent matter be utilised in similar ways? Can a laser be built to emit matter instead of light? David Guéry-Odelin, formerly at KLB, Paris,  is a world leading expert in atom lasers and will provide an overview of the main concepts and state of the art, as well as a detailed account of his current experiments at Toulouse.
