Cork School 2013

This school was intended for graduate students, advanced undergraduate students and even senior researchers seeking an accelerated exposure to theory and mathematics describing ultrashort pulse propagation.

Description: Extreme nonlinear optical events associated with filamentation of ultrashort laser pulses involving unconventional beam profiles in transparent gaseous and solid state media, require a fundamental understanding of nonlinear saturation, nonequilibrium plasma generation and ultra-fast light matter coupling.

Location: University College Cork, Ireland

Dates: July 28, 2013 - August 2, 2013
