NDSL 2025:
Nonlinear Dynamics in Semiconductor Lasers

June 16–18, 2025
Weierstrass Institute Berlin

Scientific Scope

The aim of the workshop is to bring together applied mathematicians and scientists from photonics and semiconductor physics and to give them the opportunity to exchange experience in the field of nonlinear phenomena in optoelectronic devices. The workshop will focus on, but not be limited to, all types of semiconductor lasers. See below for a list of topics.

Please take a look on the previous workshop's websites (e.g., NDSL 2023, NDSL 2021, NDSL 2018) for more information about scientific topics, program, abstracts etc.

Topics

Topics covered by the workshop include, but are not limited to:

  • AM, FM and self mode-locking in lasers
  • Bifurcation theory, analytical and numerical methods in optoelectronics
  • Coupled laser systems
  • Experimental aspects of optoelectronic and photonic device dynamics
  • Frequency combs
  • Lasers with delayed feedback
  • Machine learning with photonic devices
  • Model reduction using dynamical systems theory
  • Nonlinear and stochastic dynamics in semiconductor lasers
  • Narrow-linewidth lasers
  • Noise in semiconductor lasers
  • Numerical methods for simulation of semiconductor lasers
  • Polarization dynamics in VCSELs
  • Single-photon sources and quantum light emitting devices
