Session Information

This special session explores the intersection of ultrafast dynamics and nonlinear optics at the nanoscale. It will highlight recent breakthroughs in controlling light-matter interactions on femtosecond timescales and subwavelength spatial dimensions using metasurfaces, nanoantennas, and advanced material platforms. We invite contributions covering the full spectrum from fundamental theory to device demonstration, with a focus on enhanced nonlinear efficiencies and active tunability.
Key Topics:
  • Enhanced light-matter interaction at nanoscale
  • Ultrafast optical modulation and switching
  • Optical harmonics generation, wave mixing and upconversion
  • Femtosecond pulse shaping and characterization
  • Spontaneous photon-pair generation and quantum sources
  • Multistability and optical limiting
  • Thermo-optic and polariton-driven nonlinearities
  • Subwavelength lasers and spasers
  • Advanced nonlinear materials (ENZ, 2D materials, phase-change materials)
  • Theoretical aspects
