European Semiconductor
Laser Workshop 2018

Following a long tradition since 1978, the European Semiconductor Laser Workshop (ESLW) 2018 has been held in Bari, Italy, on September 21 and 22, 2018, just before the 44th European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication (ECOC-2018) in Rome, Italy.

The workshop has been jointly organized by Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, Politecnico of Torino and the Physics Department, University and Politecnico of Bari. It provided an informal discussion forum on exchanging most recent research results and achievements in the field of semiconductor lasers, related devices and technology. Furthermore, it has been a great opportunity to find new collaborating partners and strengthen your existing friendships. The workshop was arranged in the form of invited talks and contributed presentations.

Topics

The topics of the workshop include (in random order), but are not limited to:

•     Dynamical phenomena in semiconductor lasers (feedback, optical injection, etc...)
