Recent Advances in Nonlinear Optics and Nonlinear Optical Materials

Dear Colleagues,

The First National Conference on Nonlinear Optical Technology and Applications (NLOTA-2021) will be arranged for the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the realization of the first laser in China (1961) and the foundation of nonlinear optics theory (1961). The congress will be held in Changsha, China, on 15–17 June 2021. This Joint Topic is sponsored by the conference of "The First National Conference on Nonlinear Optical Technology and Applications" and the journals Molecules and Photonics. This Topic aims to survey the state-of-the-art aspects of nonlinear optics and nonlinear optical materials, including quantum effects, in many different photonic systems during the meeting. The Topic will collect original researches and review papers in the range of nonlinear optics, such as the second-order and third-order nonlinear optical materials, photonics and photonic nanostructures, metamaterials, metasurfaces, plasmonics, and advances in the control of optical fields, to strongly enhance the interaction of photons with quantum emitters. It also addresses novel materials and novel effects, including nonlinear optics at low intensity. In addition, this Topic welcomes researchers to submit manuscripts on the applications of nonlinear phenomena, nonlinear imaging and manipulation, devices and systems, the fundamental aspects of nonlinear dynamics in single or coupled photonic devices, polariton condensates, optomechanical systems, etc.
