Synopsis
Recent advances in nano- and micro-scale fabrication of photonic structures and materials have created a wave of research on nonlinear and quantum effects, which can happen with an unprecedented efficiency or bare previously unexpected properties. On the other hand, more traditional areas of nonlinear optics, such as fibre optics, nonlinear optics of gases and crystals, and sources of coherent radiation not only underpin these advances, but make remarkable progress in their own right.Metamaterials and plasmonic based nanostructures compete with the semiconductor waveguides and microcavities for providing the best confinement of photons and for boosting strength of the light matter interaction with the aim to reduce the device footprints and to lower the threshold powers for nonlinear functionalities.
Silicon, graphene and other materials are explored intensely for nonlinear and quantum applications. Using pure light waves is currently challenged by the devices operating with coherent half-light half-matter polaritons or condensed bosons. Semiconductor lasers and their arrays demonstrate remarkable complexity of their dynamics used for information processing. Fundamental nonlinear physics in optical fibres is enjoying its renaissance through the advent of microstructured fibres.
We are inviting contributions in all these and many other fundamental and applied sub-areas of nonlinear photonics and optics.
