Synopsis
Nonlinear optics has become a hot topic in the last few years, again due to strong involvement in many current areas of photonics. Starting from the generation of new frequencies for laser applications, nonlinear optics now covers a field extending from ultrashort pulses and extreme wavelengths generation up to novel resonator structures. Nonlinear optics has especially become important in waveguiding, in micro-structured fibres, supercontinuum generation, and in high-precision spectroscopy. Also, transverse nonlinear optics leads to fascinating new effects. Among these, optically-induced photonic lattices show a great increase in importance for adaptive photonic crystals. Moreover self-sustained patterns and cavity solitons have opened new avenues for the exploitation of self-organized light-matter interactions towards innovative information processing architectures.
Nonlinear optics is always closely connected to materials that are suited for applications. Currently, organic as well as nanoparticle-dispersed random materials present fields of growing interest, mainly due to easy fabrication and a variety of applications ranging from optical data storage via waveguiding up to ultra-short wavelengths and pulses, such as e.g. terahertz nonlinear optics.

This conference will address various aspects of basics and applications in modern nonlinear optics. It will be held in collaboration with the European STREP project FunFACS.
Topics
- Non-linear optical materials (organic/inorganic materials)
- Lasers and sources (including terahertz nonlinear optics)
- Parametric processes (harmonic generation, attosecond pulses, Raman/Brillouin scattering, wave mixing)
- Nonlinear optics in random media
- Nonlinearities in waveguiding, photonic fibres and photonic crystals)
- Solitons and photonic lattices
- Transverse nonlinear optics
- Fundamentals, functionalities and applications of cavity solitons (European STREP project FunFACS)
