Book Description
Papers are presented in these areas: Photonics - Investigations into the replacement of electrons by photons in the processing of information and data; Optical Bistability; Instabilities and Chaos - Bistable optical systems, in common with lasers. exhibit rich nonlinear dynamics. Instabilities and chaos in optics attracted considerable interest; Semiconductor Nonlinearities - Semiconductors are the prime candidates for most photonic applications, and the measurement and characterization of their nonlinear optical properties, particularly in the ultrafast domain. The subject of optical Stark effect in semiconductors was discussed in detail; Digital Optical Computing - All optical restoring digital logic, organization or photonic devices into parallel processors, and optical computing architectures and systems were discussed; Quantum Confinement - Quantum wells, wires, and dots and their optical nonlinearities, especially of excitonic origin, are among the newest and most exciting areas of optoelectronics; Semiconductor Switching and Bistability. Especially in II-VI compounds, for both dispersive and absorptive mechanisms were presented; Nonlinear Guided Waves - Optical fibers, planar waveguides, and interfaces; Fundamental Aspects of Light-Matter Interaction - Atomic systems, including four-wave oscillation and instabilities in sodium vapor, optically induced phase transitions, and squeezed light.
