Fourth “Rio de la Plata” Workshop on Laser dynamics and Nonlinear Photonics

Location: 
Piriapolis, Uruguay
Duration: 
8 December 2009 - 11 December 2009

The aim of the Workshop is to keep the scientific community working on nonlinear phenomena in lasers, optics and photonics in general updated with the most recent developments and tendencies in the field. We hope that the Workshop will provide the opportunity to interchange ideas in a relaxed environment, contributing in this form to the development of new scientific collaborations. Emphasis will be put in the participation of Latin-American scientists.

The topics covered by the Workshop include (but not limited to):

  • Dynamics of lasers and optical amplifiers, noise and instabilities

  • Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers, quantum-dot lasers, quantum cascade lasers

  • Light-polarization dynamics

  • Transverse spatial patterns, solitons and localized structures

  • Photonic crystals

  • Novel nonlinear optical materials and phenomena

  • Metamaterials and plasmonics
  • Nonlinearities in nanophotonics
