The detailed Programme of the Ultrafast Optics Conference 2013 is now available for download.

March 2-8, 2013
Davos Congress Centre, Switzerland

The international Ultrafast Optics Conference was first held in 1997 in Monterey, USA, and has been held on a biennial basis ever since, gathering together usually over 150 scientists and physics professionals from around the world.

The purpose of the meeting is to bring together both the users and/or developers of ultrafast optical technology with the specific goal of discussing the technology itself, i.e., to report on the state of the art with respect to generation, amplification and measurement of ultrafast optical pulses.

The list of Ultrafast Optics 2013 invited speakers includes:
