Advances in Molecular Nonlinear Optics : Information Technology and Life Sciences (AMARIS’10)

AMARIS'10 - May 24th to 28th, 2010


A tribute to Joseph Zyss for his 60th birthday

Organised by Laboratoire de Photonique Quantique et Moléculaire (LPQM),
Institut d'Alembert, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan, France

Aim and Scope


Logo congrès AMARIS'10 This Conference will present the most recent developments of Molecular Nonlinear optics, from macroscopic materials to nanostructures and single objects, in a widely opened pluridisciplinary spirit where the various topics to be addressed will act as meeting points between molecular photonics and related activities in chemistry, biology and information technologies.

Besides fundamental aspects of nonlinear, quantum physics and non linear dynamics, various sessions will be devoted to molecular material science and functional chemistry, bioimaging and nanolabels, structural studies of cell nucleus and proteins, membrane potential, molecular optoelectronic devices, or sensors and biosensors.

This conference also celebrates the 60th birthday of Pr. Joseph Zyss for his pioneering role in Molecular Nonlinear Optics.

Specific sessions will provide an overview of the activities and challenges of molecular nonlinear optics, to be played within a threedimensional frame :
  1. Research activities and conditions for the development of the domain at the best international level in a cooperative spirit.

  2. Teaching and pedagogical challenges towards a pluridisciplinary training.

  3. Potential for industrial applications actual implementations.
