Workshop on "Dissipative solitons and optical
frequency comb generation"
Brussels, 15 - 16 September 2021 (ULB - Campus Plaine)
Due to the pandemic crisis, this meeting will be limited to researchers from nearby countries (France, Germany, Spain, UK), who should be able to travel.
Optical frequency combs generated by optical resonators have revolutionized many fields of science and technology, such as high-precision spectroscopy, metrology, and photonic analog-to-digital conversion. A particular interest is paid to the soliton frequency combs associated with the formation in the time domain of the so-called temporal dissipative solitons.
