"Singular Optics” (SO'2012)
The purpose of the conference is to provide the discussions of novel approaches and advances in the field of singular optics, optical devices based on transformation of angular momentum of light, high-technology applications based on singular optics and vortices, optical fiber networks, etc. The techniques of singular optics (including fiber and nonlinear singular optics and their applications) contribute into promising and rapidly developing area of optical information technology. Such techniques serve for solving diverse applied problems ranging from industrial quality control to modern and advance telecommunications, and life sciences. There exists no other conference focused just on the singular optics approaches (theoretical, computing and experimental). That is why this conference is a unique possibility to highlight novel concepts and developments related to the physics of optical singularities, and to discuss the recent progress in their applications. Recent advances in trapping, transportation and rotation of microparticles, optical-vortex cryptography, in optical transmitting and processing information will be represented as well as conceptual problems connected with nontrivial structure of complex optical fields, their control and manipulation. This conference continues a chain of international conferences on singular optics: International Conference on Singular Optics in Partenit, Crimea, Ukraine (1997) [SPIE Proc. V.3487 (1998)]; Second International Conference on Singular Optics (Optical Vortices): Fundamentals and Applications in Alushta, Crimea, Ukraine (2000) [SPIE Proc. V.4403 (2001)]; NATO Advanced Research Workshop "Singular Optics 2003" in Kiev, Ukraine [JOPA: Pure & Apl. Opt., Spec. Iss., V.6, No.5 (2004)]; Fourth International Conference "Singular Optics (Optical Vortices): Fundamentals and Applications SO'2008" in Alushta, Crimea, Ukraine (2008) [J. Opt. A: Pure Appl. Opt. Vol. 11, No. 9 (2009)]. Topics to be covered: • Fundamentals of singular optics • Singular beams in free propagation • Generation of optical singularities • Broadband optical singularities • Fiber Singular Optics and optical singularities in crystals • Nonlinear singular optics • Dynamic singular optics • Singularities in partially coherent fields • Singular optics technique and metrology • Applications of singular optics Conference Chairs: Prof. M.V.
