| The field of nonlinear photonics has been hot and dynamically changing.
This mini-symposium aims to bring together experts from the field of
nonlinear photonics and related areas, including but not limited to
novel optical wave phenomena such as wave dynamics in plasmonic
waveguide arrays and optical microcavities, nonlinear frequency
conversion and wave mixing, spatial solitons and vortices, nonlinear
beam shaping and self-accelerating beams, and optical switching in
nonlinear photonic crystals. The scope of this symposium covers both
theoretical and experimental study on linear and nonlinear wave
phenomena in a variety of optical structures and material systems.
