Research in our Division covers theoretical fields of nonlinear as well
as quantum optics.
Current interests focus on:
- Quantum information theory
- Quantum cryptography
- Quantum description of optical phase
- Photon statistics, squeezed states of light
- Generalized Jaynes-Cummings models
- Theory of multiphoton resonant and nonresonant Rayleigh and Raman
spectroscopy (collisionally induced light scatterings)
- Laser induced autoionization
- Molecular dynamics in nonlinear optics and electro-magnetic
phenomena in gases and dense media - investigations of nonlinear Kerr,
Faraday, Pockels, etc. effects
- Pulse induced Kerr effect
- Classical and quantum chaos in optical systems
- Raman spectroscopy (experiment).
The Division is open to scientific contacts and cooperation with
the nonlinear and quantum optics community all over the world. The Nonlinear
Optics Division
