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.

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.
