The topics covered by the Workshop include:
- dynamics of lasers and optical amplifiers
- noise properties
- instabilities and multimode behavior
- vertical-cavity and quantum-dot lasers

- light-polarization dynamics
- transverse spatial patterns, solitons
and localized structures
- synchronization and applications to secure communications

Auspices: 
The purpose of the Workshop is to keep the scientific
community working on nonlinear phenomena on lasers and optics, updated
with the
most recent developments and tendencies in the area.
We hope that the Workshop will provide the opportunity to interchange
ideas in a
relaxed environment, contributing in this form to the
possible nucleation of new inter-institutional collaborating groups
and encouraging the
development of scientific collaborations at an international
level. Emphasis will be put in the participation of Latin-America
scientists.
The Workshop will take place in Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay. Located in
the north bank of the Rio de la Plata estuary, downriver
from Buenos Aires, upriver from Montevideo, Colonia del Sacramento is a small charming city
founded in 1680 and declared
World Heritage City by UNESCO (for more information
