The resonant absorption, emission and scattering of light are the fundamental processes that have been used to probe matter and manipulate light itself. For the last decade there has been an essential progress in coherent control of linear and nonlinear material optical responses of various media (including atomic and molecular gases, different types of solids, composite structures, optical heterostructures, plasmas, nuclei, bio-tissue).
The conference is focused on the recent progress in the various fields of coherent interactions of laser radiation with matter resulting in control of properties of both matter and light with applications to physical systems of different origin. It covers the wide range of frequencies (from IR through optics to X-rays) and includes the following fields of research.
