titolo:
“All About Waves”
Abstract
The
study of localized waves has a long history dating back to the discoveries in
the 1800s describing water waves in shallow water. Both in fluid dynamics and nonlinear
optics there has been considerable interest in various aspects of localized
waves. Nonlinear waves in water and optics have many similar features. After
some historical remarks, topics that will be briefly discussed include: a novel
formulation of water and interfacial waves, some new properties of
gravity-capillary waves,
ultra-short pulse dynamics in mode-locked lasers and nonlinear waves in
photonic lattices.
Tutti gli
interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
