Present and Future of LEPS and LEPS2

The linearly polarized photon beam in the GeV energy region at SPring-8 is produced by backward-Compton scattering of laser photons from 8 GeV electrons. The current LEPS facility studies photo-production of hadrons such as ϕ and K mesons in the forward angles, while the newly built LEPS2 facility currently concentrates on studies of neutral meson productios with a large solid-angle calorimeter BGOegg. In my talk, I will report on the selected results from LEPS and the status of the LEPS2 experiments.
