📢 Save the Date! We’re excited to announce the next ELIOS GDR Workshop on Guided Nonlinear Photonics, taking place in Besançon (🇫🇷) at the FEMTO-ST Institute on October 14–15, 2025 ! 🌐 Website, submission of contributions & free registration:

Phenomena glimpsed numerically more than 25 years ago have finally been recorded in a physical system based on optical fibres and pulsating solitons.

Many thanks for the fantastic and essential work carried out in the laboratory and in front of computers by our Chinese colleagues, in particular @junsong_peng . We also collaborated with Sonia Boscolo from the Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies of Photonics.

For those interested in synchronisation phenomena, Arnold tongues and ultrafast fibre lasers, take a look at this new research work published in Science Advances that we carried out as part of a collaboration with East China Normal University. https://t.co/2Q4FvfYOFZ

We are delighted to announce that the CNRS has renewed its commitment for a further five years. Many thanks for this long-term support ! We will do our best to make ELIOS attractive and useful to our community. See you in Besançon this autumn:

Happy New Year to you all, and a date to put in your diaries. The next GDR Elios session will be held in Besançon at FEMTO-ST Institute on 14 and 15 October 2025. Initial information is available at https://t.co/2Vy4c0p9K5

📢 Nouveau statut, nouveau nom, nouveau logo... L'université de Bourgogne entre dans une nouvelle ère et devient l'Université Bourgogne Europe ! ✨ Bonne année 2025 ! 🎉 #UBE #ambition #international #valeurs #formation #enseignement #recherche

Delighted to announce that @AndreiVErmolaev 's work was selected for Optics in 2024 by @OPNmagazine The idea is to algorithmically analyse term by term contributions in a PDE so as to determine the dominant physics. Based on ideas from @eigensteve et al. https://t.co/DST3BgVX1z

Congratulations to Dr @AndreiVErmolaev for a fantastic PhD defence on Wednesday! Thanks to @ChrisFINOT @MAChernysheva Nathan Kutz , Maxime Jacquot, and Miguel Alonso for being on the jury, and @dbrunner_lab for the lab visit (clearly not too serious!)

Can we "automate" intuition in nonlinear fibre optics? Building on https://t.co/ZxTIFxn4l7 (@eigensteve Nathan Kutz et al) @AndreiVErmolaev looked at a range of specific cases & the results are remarkable! See his paper here https://t.co/To014KD1rA also at https://t.co/psiqiwG98Y

The deadline for submitting your abstracts (one page only) for the GDR conference has been extended by one week (up to 12 July). Come and present your work in Bordeaux! All the details and submission website : https://t.co/VUO4BkXAbY

Avec le soutien de la société @exail_ , nous avons le plaisir de vous informer de l’ouverture pour la troisième année du prix de thèse du GDR ELIOS. https://t.co/0BfVH3K1MN 1/4

We will be delighted to welcome a legend of nonlinear fiber optics, Prof. Govind Agrawal. Cathie Ventalon, Philippe Lalanne and Erwan Lucas have also accepted our invitation to present their work.

We are happy to invite you to the 2024 scientific days which will take place in Bordeaux on September 25 and 26, 2024 with great invited speakers. Do not forget to submit your abstract before the 5th of July ! More information available on https://t.co/0HQpLfzHVY

Excited to announce the upcoming workshop by ELIOS focusing on nonlinear optics in waveguides! Join us this September 2024 in Bordeaux for insightful discussions and exploration. Mark your calendars 25-26 september and visit https://t.co/VUO4BkXAbY for more details to come !
