Conference Co-Chairs:
Roberto Morandotti (INRS-EMT), Alain Villeneuve (ITF Optical Technologies)
** WORKSHOP REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED **
The objective of this workshop is to foster discussions involving leading scientists working on fundamental aspects of Nonlinear Optics (Spatial and Temporal Solitons, Nonlinear Pulse Propagation in Periodic Structures, Cavity Solitons, Solitons in BECs etc.) as well as the physics behind the enabling technologies required for the realization of future telecommunication systems.
 Taking advantage of the NLGW (Nonlinear Guided Waves) Meeting in Toronto (March 28-31, 2004), we are planning a focused workshop on Soliton Physics on March 27th and 28th.
The goal is to bring together some of the high caliber speakers that will participate in the OSA meeting into a more focused two-day workshop, to promote scientific discussions and interactions. The workshop would therefore be complementary to the larger and broader OSA meeting.
The workshop will cover the following topics:
- Spatial Solitons
- Discrete Solitons
- Cavity Solitons
- BECs Solitons
- Spatio-temporal Effects and Light Bullets
- Optics in Metamaterials
- Nonlinear Optics in Ring Resonators
- Solitons in Magneto Optic Materials
- Nonlinear Optics in PBGs and Holey Fibers
Conference format
Three oral sessions (Saturday morning and afternoon, Sunday morning) and one poster session (Saturday afternoon, preceded by an oral preview). The oral sessions would be mainly composed of Keynote (Invited) talks. However, since one of the primary objectives of this workshop is to foster discussions and interactions among participants, we strongly encourage you to contact the speakers and the chairmen in advance, in order to present your point of view and suggest topic of discussions.
Organizing Committee:
Nathalie Aguiar (INRS-EMT), Helen Lasthiotakis (NIT), Jessica Mondia and Aaron Zilkie (University of Toronto).
