Scope

The workshop, co-organized by the Max-Planck-Institute for the Science of Light (MPL), the Cluster of Excellence „Engineering of Advanced Materials“ (EAM), and the Erlangen Graduate School of Advanced Optical Technologies (SAOT), will address current topics in 

• new fiber optic materials and structures, such as materials for infrared applications, photonic crystal fibers (PCF), polymer fibers, multi-material fiber structures, and highly nonlinear materials
• fiber optic sensors, such as PCF-based chemical sensors and FBG-based sensors
• fiber-based light sources such as high-power lasers and supercontinuum sources.

The workshop aims to bring together international experts to discuss fundamental aspects, potential applications, and technological challenges in these fields.
