| Nonlinear Optical Waves and Novel Phenomena |
| Organizer: |
| Zhigang Chen ( San Francisco State University, U.S.A. & Nankai University, China ) |
| |
| This mini-symposium aims to bring together experts from the fields of
nonlinear waves in optics and photonics, and related phenomena
including nontrivial solitons, nonconventional optical beams, wave
mixing, and novel nonlinear phenomena in micro- and nano- photonic
structures. The scope of this symposium covers both theoretical and
experimental study on wave phenomena in a variety of materials and
structures, ranging from nematic liquid crystals, photorefractive
crystals, to nonlocal nonlinear media, and from ring lasers,
microresontors, to fiber laser arrays and photonic lattices. |
