| Since the invention of the laser, progress in nonlinear optics and the
mathematics of nonlinear waves have gone together. Mathematical
concepts like solitons, similaritons, and accordions have enriched our
understanding of optical communication systems, modelocked lasers, and
light propagation and scattering through a wide variety of media. The
experimental study of supercontinuum generation, optical
filamentation, optical combs, and photonic crystal fibers have
motivated the development of new mathematical and computational
techniques. The goal of this minisymposium is to bring together both
experimental and mathematical experts in nonlinear optics to discuss
recent progress and exchange ideas.
