Plenary Speaker
CLEO/EUROPE PLENARY SPEAKER

Donna Strickland, co-laureate of Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018 for the work on chirped pulse amplification
University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
From nonlinear optics to high-intensity laser physics
In this talk, I will discuss the differences between nonlinear optics and high-intensity laser physics. The development of CPA and why short, intense laser pulses can cut transparent material will also be included.

Claudio Conti
Department of Physics, University Sapienza, Italy
Photonic machines for large-scale applications and fundamental physics
Which is the simplest way to process information with light By spatial modulation, we demonstrate combinatorial optimization and natural language processing at the largest scale. Novel computational paradigms open the road to new physics and applications with photonics.
