Trieste hosts winter college on fibre optics, lasers and sensors

A winter college on fibre optics, lasers and sensors will take place from 12 to 23 February, in Trieste, Italy.

The college is aimed at exposing participants to the scientific issues driving the progress of fibre lasers and modern fibre topics. The programme consists of lectures by international experts, group discussions and laboratory demonstrations.

The event will cover a number of topics, including:
- fundamentals of fibre lasers and amplifiers;
- spectroscopy of rare-earth - doped glasses;
- high-power fibre lasers and amplifiers;
- ultrashort pulse fibre sources;
- fibre sensors - different architectures and applications;
- optical fibre telecommunications;
- photonic crystal (or microstructured) fibres - theory and applications;
- nonlinear effects in optical fibres and applications;
- fibre bragg gratings - theory, fabrication and application.For more information, please visit:
