Nonlinear Photonics Topical Meeting

The Nonlinear Photonics Topical Meeting has its origins in and replaces the Nonlinear Guided Waves meetings of the past. The intention of this meeting is to gather together theorists and experimentalists from around the world who are interested in nonlinear optical processes in devices and structures in order to define the state-of-the-art in this field and to enable interactions and collaborations.
The program topics will include:

Temporal Effects

  • Nonlinear effects in fibers
  • Nonlinear pulse propagation in fiber
  • Temporal solitons in fibers
  • Cascaded and second order nonlinearities

Computational Analysis, Design and Modeling of Dissipative and
Conservative Systems

  • FDTD
  • Dissapative solitons and ultra-short pulse modelling
  • Active device modelling
  • System modelling:

Poling, Spatial and Periodic Nonlinear Effects (NP and BGPP joint Plenary)

  • Spatial optical solitons, self-trapping, and self-guiding effects
  • Nonlinear guided modes in waveguides and at nonlinear interfaces, self-trapping effects in waveguide arrays and discrete spatial solitons
  • Nonlinear effects in periodic structures
  • Spatial pattern formation in nonlinear cavities and waveguides
  • Active and dissipative effects
  • Nonlinear modes and solitons in trapped Bose-Einstein Condensates and optical lattices; nonlinear
    guided-wave atom-optics
  • Waveguide and glass poling

“All-Optical Devices and Applications” Symposia Topics:

Nonlinear Devices and Systems

  • All-Optical Communications Devices and Systems
  • Nonlinear Measurement and Detection

Novel Nonlinear Materials and Structures

  • Novel Nonlinear Materials
  • Quasi-phase matched structures: cascaded nonlinearities, designer gratings
  • Metamaterials
  • Fabrication of micro and nano-structured materials, Bragg gratings, micro-ring resonators, and optimized nonlinear materials
  • Novel aspects of nonlinear materials
