International Workshop on Advances in Nanoscale Nonlinear Optics

There has been an increasing interest, in recent years, in nonlinear optical properties of materials with particular attention at the nanoscale photonics  and for many different applications from the  information technology to biosensing applications . The scope of the workshop is to discuss about concept, methods, applications and the state of the art of the most recent trends in nonlinear optics and in particular at the  nanoscale.
