Laser Science Program Committees
Quantum Science
Michal Bajcsy, University of Waterloo, Canada
Studies of quantum phenomena involving optics and photonics, as well as their applications in areas related to quantum information science and other quantum technologies. Topics include quantum interactions of light with matter, characterization and physics of single quantum emitters, generation, detection and characterization of quantum states of light, quantum optomechanics, novel quantum precision measurements, quantum memories and repeaters, and hybrid quantum systems.
Ultrafast dynamics in complex systems
Matthew Graham, Oregon State University, USA
How can we best harness ultrafast processes in increasingly complex optical systems and materials? Ultrafast-based methods connect emergent photophysics with complex systems spanning a diverse array of applications, from the biophysical to the nanoscale. Recent topical examples include; quantum materials, nanomaterials, highly nonlinear materials, transient metamaterials, light-harvesting, solar and mesoscale materials. This theme explores how ultrafast dynamics of electronic and vibrational processes continue to enhance our understanding and development of such topical complex systems.
Advanced frequency comb techniques
Karou Minoshima, The University of Electro-Communications, Japan
Optical frequency combs have become an indispensable technology in frequency metrology and precision spectroscopy after 15 years since Nobel Prize in Physics. Recently, maturing comb source development such as fiber combs has opened diverse application areas, such as nonlinear spectroscopy, atmospheric sensing, bio-medical imaging, distance and surface metrology, microwave photonics, quantum information, and astronomy. This topic category aims to explore recent advancement of comb techniques including source development, control techniques, and broad applications with focus on comb.
