In 2024, we will aim to address the following topics:
- electro- and magneto-optic modulators, acousto-optic modulators, modulation with liquid crystals.
- Non-linear optical phenomena, optical second harmonic generation, optical parametric generation.
- Nonlinear refractive index, optical
solitons, spatial solitons, optical phase conjugation.
- Nonlinear phenomena in optical waveguides. Stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering.
- multi-wave mixing, static and dynamical holography, optical logic circuits.
- Photonic integrated circuits, optical filters, optical switches and couplers, bistable optical elements, silicon photonics, optical signal processing.
- optics of nano- and micro-structured materials, optical metamaterials
- photonic crystals, optical microresonators
- magneto optic traps, optical cooling of atoms, testing of quantum mechanics with photons, quantum optomechanics.
- Excursion to the quantum optics and foundations research laboratory.
