Abstract:

Nonlinear optics and photonics research is an active field with new phenomena and applications to be explored in the immediate future. It also remains to be a platform to study similar processes in other fields that relate to nonlinear wave phenomena. Examples include parity-time symmetry, fractional diffraction and light filamentation.  In this talk, I will discuss the mathematical challenges we face in studying nonlinear processes as they emerge in novel optical systems.
