About the event
The meeting aims to facilitate the exchange of recent breakthroughs, emerging research trends, and novel concepts shaping the future of nonlinear photonics. The workshop program features invited review talks by world-leading experts across complementary domains, spanning fibre- and chip-based nonlinear systems, photonics for neuromorphic computing, and cutting-edge developments in theory, experimentation, and applications.
Date:23-24 September, 2025
Location: Schloss Diedersdorf, Kirchplatz 5-6, 14979 Diedersdorf [In-person event]
The workshop is co-organised by Leibniz-IPHT and AIPT and it is sponsored by EPSRC (Project EP/Y001915/1) and AIPT.
