Light-Matter Interactions 2016 - Spring School
Date | Fr, 15.04.2016 | |
Time | All day | |
Location | École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), CECAM rooms (BCH 1103) | |
Program | This Spring School aims at providing a broad introduction to topics of current interest, in an imperative cross-cutting discipline of science with light. Inspiration and continuation from the international Year of Light 2015 leads us to an introductory and summarizing event of light-matter interactions. The school presents the latest advances in ultrafast science, including both ultrafast optical technology and the study of ultrafast phenomena. It covers techniques ranging from X-rays to infrared frequencies relevant to applications in physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. The lectures will broadly focus on two areas: - Ultrashort light pulses to study the evolution of a variety of systems during phase transitions, chemical reactions and structural transformations - Light as an external control parameter to create and manipulate exotic phases of matter that do not occur spontaneously. |
