Third
'
Noise,
Chaos and Complexity in
Lasers and Nonlinear Optics
Scientific
Organizers: C. Masoller (
The topics
covered by the workshop include: dynamics of lasers and optical
amplifiers, noise
properties, instabilities and multimode behaviour, quantum-dot and
novel types
of semiconductor lasers, laser arrays, light-polarization dynamics, transverse spatial patterns, solitons
and localized structures, synchronization and
applications to secure communications, photonic crystals.
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.
