Pattern Dynamics in Nonlinear Optical Cavities
Joint Workshop Program
International Tandem Workshop
15 August - 19 August 2016
The workshop will bring together leading experimentalists, theoretical physicists and applied mathematicians to foster an improved understanding of fundamental processes and complex phenome- na in lasers and more general optical cavities. This in turn is expected to lead to smaller, faster and more energy-efficient optical devices that are capable of generating signals, storing them and even processing them.
Topics include
- Optical extreme events and rogue waves
- Spatial cavity solitons
- Temporal cavity solitons
- Optical cavities subject to delay
- Ring and fibre lasers
- Nonlinear dynamics in coupled laser networks
- Frequency combs, optical clocks, and precision measurements
- Spontaneous symmetry breaking and pattern formation
- Random lasers and Anderson localisation
- Noise effects in mode-locked lasers
- Acousto-optic interactions in micro-cavities
- Few photon effects - towards the quantum limit
