Workshop on Ultrafast Phenomena
Workshop on Ultrafast Phenomena
This workshop brings together researchers studying ultrafast phenomena in matter. Using time-resolved and terahertz methods, it spans photoinduced phase transitions, nonlinear phononics, and carrier and lattice dynamics across solids, liquids, gases and biological samples.
Date
Monday, 2 November 2026
Submission
Contributions to the workshop should be made via the general SPO 2026 submission form. All laser-related research will be allocated to the workshop sessions by the Program Committee.
Participants will discuss the latest advances in time-resolved studies of ultrafast processes — from photoinduced phase transitions and nonlinear phononics to ultrafast dynamics in condensed matter, liquids, gases and biological systems — using femtosecond, attosecond and terahertz techniques.
Topics
- Time-resolved and pump–probe spectroscopy
- Photoinduced phase transitions
- Nonlinear phononics
- Carrier and lattice dynamics in solids
- Ultrafast dynamics in liquids and gases
- Terahertz science
- Ultrafast studies of biological samples
