D06: Nonlinear Optics and Guided Wave Devices

Wednesday, August 20  16:00-17:40,  Room #21

Session Chair: Stefano Selleri

This topic includes, but is not limited to fundamental optical effects like optical parametric processes, harmonic generation, nonlinear wave mixing, self- and cross-phase modulation, and stimulated scattering effects. Particular emphasis is on nonlinear optics in guided geometries and micro- or nanostructured materials, including waveguides, fibers, and metamaterials, quasi-phase matched devices as well as self-guiding such as in filaments. Applications of these effects include nonlinear wavelength conversion, continuum generation, optical solitons, nonlinear spectroscopy, pulse generation, mode-locking, pulse shaping, and any other novel applications of nonlinear phenomena, novel materials, and structures.
