Symposium RR

Ultrafast Optics

Symposium Scope

The year 2018 marked the 28th anniversary of modern ultrafast optics since the first demonstration of Kerr lens modelocked Ti:sapphire laser in 1990. The field of ultrafast optics has extended well beyond the narrow boundary of ultrafast source and reaching into applications in biology labs, manufacturing facilities, and even into consumer healthcare and electronics.

The symposium will cover and serve as the platform for discussing the development of new ultrafast laser sources, the manipulation and characterization of ultrashort pulses as well as their use in scientific, biomedical and industrial applications. We welcome university researchers from diverse fields, as well as scientists and engineers from industry to present their forefront works in this conference.

Topics

We encourage submission of papers on all aspects of ultrafast optics. The non-exhaustive list of topics for the symposium include the following areas:

  • Ultrafast lasers
  • High bandwidth photonics
  • Pump probe characterization
  • High speed optical signal processing
  • All-optical networks
  • Ultrafast dynamics in materials

Other topics in the field of ultrafast optics are also welcomed.
