LPHYS'26.    Program:

Seminar 4: Physics and Applications of Nanolasers

Co-chairs:

Seminar 4 centers on the physics of micro- and nanolasers, semiconductor-based devices and novel 2D materials for lasing. Integrated Si-based platforms belong to its scope, as well as topological lasers, quantum effects at the micro-nanoscale, emergence of coherence and photon/polariton condensation, and novel applications such as laser-based neuromorphic computing.
