About the 17th International Conference on Ultrafast Phenomena
The 2010 International Conference on Ultrafast Phenomena will be the 17th in a series on advances in research on ultrafast science and technology. This meeting is widely recognized as the major international forum for the discussion of new work in this rapidly moving field.
This year's conference will bring together a multi-disciplinary group sharing a common interest in the generation of ultrashort pulses in the picosecond,femtosecond, and attosecond regimes and their applications to studies of ultrafast phenomena in physics, chemistry, material science, electronics, biology, engineering, and medical applications. In addition, submissions involving real world applications of ultrafast technology are encouraged. A tabletop exhibit featuring leading companies will be held in conjunction with the meeting.
