13th School on Acousto-Optics and Applications

Dear Colleagues!

We invite you to the International Conference “13th School on Acousto-Optics and Applications” which will be held on 19-23 June 2017 in Moscow, Russia. The conference continues a series of triennial topical meetings devoted to problems of light-with-ultrasound interaction. The tradition of the Schools on Acousto-Optics and Applications was established by the University of Gdansk and starts from 1980. This is a meeting point for fundamental and applied science with technology and end users. Along with traditional applications of acousto-optics such as spectroscopy and laser beam controlling we welcome contributions in new fields: diffraction of light by ultrasound in irregular media, phenomena of quantum optics, nonstationary interactions of ultrashort optical and ultrasonic pulses, etc. Traditionally, the conference will also include sessions on laser photoacoustics and new materials for acousto-optics.

The main topics of the conference are

• Fundamentals of light diffraction by ultrasound
• Acousto-optic devices: principles and design
• Acousto-optic systems, instruments, and their applications
• Acousto-opticinformation processing
• New methods of adaptive spectroscopy
• Quantum phenomena of photon-phonon scattering
• Ultrafast and femtosecond acousto-optics
• Biomedical acousto-optics
• Photoacoustic spectroscopy and optoacoustics
• New materials and structures for acousto-optics

The 13th School on Acousto-Optics and Applications is co-organized by the National University of Science and Technology MISIS (Moscow, Russia) and the University of Gdansk (Gdansk, Poland). The venue of the conference is in the heart of Moscow, just 3 km from the Kremlin.

We are looking forward to see you at the 13th School on Acousto-Optics and Applications in Moscow during the summer of 2017.
