“Tribute to Rem Khokhlov”
Vladimir Makarov (Lomonosov Moscow State Univ., Russia)
Rem Khokhlov was born on 15 July, 1926 in the city of Livna of the Orlov district in the USSR. In 1950 he graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University. In 1952 he received his PhD degree with the same university becoming then a professor and finally rector of Lomonosov Moscow State University. For his outstanding scientific services Rem Khokhlov was elected in 1966 a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and in 1974 a full member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. He was awarded the honorary doctorate by a number of foreign universities.
Another page of the scientific biography of Rem Khokhlov is associated with the organization and coordination of work on nonlinear optics in the USSR and, specifically, with launching the series of conferences on the topic of "Coherent and nonlinear optics,” which has been grown up to one of the major international conferences in this area around the world, ICONO.
Rem Khokhlov was a many-sided and harmonious man. He had a deep interest in literature, art, and with great sensitivity detected new directions in these fields. Rem knew well and understood sport, and had an undying love for mountains. People were attracted to Rem by his remarkable human qualities, his real kindness, his sincere desire to hear people out and to help them. In science he was remark-ably objective in evaluating the work of others; he was quite free of bias. We and young generation of scientists keep memories of Rem Khokhlov, a remarkable scientist and human being who will forever remain in our hearts.

“Ultrafast nonlinear optics in the mid-infrared: Here be dragons”
Aleksei Zheltikov (Lomonosov Moscow State Univ., Russia; Kurchatov Inst., Russia; Russian Quantum Ctr, Russia; Texas A&M Univ., USA)
Motivated and driven by numerous applications and long-standing challenges in strong-field physics, molecular spectroscopy, semiconductor electronics, and standoff detection, ultrafast optical science is rapidly expanding toward longer wavelengths. Recent experiments reveal unique properties of filaments induced by ultrashort laser pulses in the mid-infrared, where the generation of powerful supercontinuum radiation is accompanied by unusual scenarios of optical harmonic generation, giving rise to remarkably broad radiation spectra, stretching from the visible to the mid-infrared. Generation of few- and even single-cycle mid-infrared field waveforms with peak powers ranging from a few megawatts to hundreds of gigawatts has been demonstrated within a broad range of central wavelengths. Below-the-bandgap high-order harmonics generated by ultrashort mid-infrared laser pulses are shown to be ideally suited to probe the nonlinearities of electron bands, enabling an all-optical mapping of the electron band structure in bulk solids. This lecture will provide an overview of exciting new physics behind the recent achievements in this rapidly growing area of ultrafast optical science.

“New frontiers in quantum optomechanics”
Marcus Aspelmeyer (Univ. of Vienna, Austria)
The quantum optical control of solid-state mechanical devices, quantum optomechanics, has emerged as a new frontier of light-matter interactions. Devices currently under investigation cover a mass range of more than 15 orders of magnitude - from nanomechanical waveguides of some picograms to macroscopic, kilogram-weight mirrors of gravitational wave detectors. This development has been enabled by the insight that quantum optics provides a powerful toolbox to generate, manipulate and detect quantum states of mechanical motion, in particular by coupling the mechanics to an optical or microwave cavity field. Originally, such cavity optomechanical systems have been studied from the early 1970s on in the context of gravitational wave antennas beginning with the pioneering works by Braginsky. Advancements in micro-fabrication and micro-cavities, however, have resulted in the development of a completely new generation of nano- and micro-optomechanical devices. Today, 10 years after the first demonstrations of laser cooling of micromechanical resonators, the quantum regime of nano- and micromechanical motion is firmly established. Recent experimental achievements include the generation of genuinely non-classical states of micromechanical motion such as quantum squeezing and entanglement. This level of control over solid-state mechanical degrees of freedom is now also being utilized in diverse application domains ranging from classical sensing, to low-noise optical coatings for precision interferometry, and also to photon-phonon quantum interfaces.
From the fundamental physics point of view, one of the fascinating prospects of quantum optomechanics is to coherently control the motional degree of freedom of a massive object in an unprecedented parameter regime of large mass and long coherence time, hence opening up a new avenue for macroscopic quantum experiments. The availability of quantum superposition states involving increasingly massive objects could enable a completely new class of experiments, in which the source mass character of the quantum system starts to play a role. This addresses directly one of the outstanding questions at the interface between quantum physics and gravity, namely “how does a quantum system gravitate?”.

“Metamaterials in optical spectral region: technologies, properties and perspectives of application”
Vladimir Belyi (Stepanov Institute of Physics, Minsk, Belarus)
“TBA”
The past ten years have seen the emergence of metamaterials in optical spectral region characterized by extraordinary properties. Their ability to manipulate parameters of light radiation in new ways has led to many novel applications. Examples include super resolution imaging, negative refraction, optical cloaking, enhance nonlinear interaction and others.
The state of affairs have been analyzed in theory of propagation and transformation of light fields (amplitude, polarization, directivity) in optical metamaterials having different structures and technologies of fabrication and possessing the potential for broadband manipulation of the density of photonic states and subwavelight confinement. A special attention is devoted to the appearance of a number of novel effects in optical metamaterials with extreme parameters (particularly, in metamaterials with close to zero dielectric permittivity (ENZ-materials)): tunneling through super narrow channel, formation of narrowband light beams, amplifying of optical nonlinearities. Also there have been analyzed the properties of a new class of metamaterials with extremely high optical anisotropy, which are perspective, for example, for creation of plasmonic, deep subwavelength bulk waveguides.
There have been investigated the peculiarities of excitation and properties of new types of plasmon-polaritons, so called Bessel, single and multiplasmons possessing the property of quasinondiffraction. Particularly, singular radiative plasmon-polariton in ENZ optical materials has been predicted.
On the basis of the fabricated hyperbolic metamaterials there have been proposed and realized new configurations of flat lenses (so called superlenses) of near and far field in a spectral region from ultraviolet up to infrared radiation. The developed superlenses of near field provide spatial resolution below the diffraction limit and allow achieving high local amplification of intensity (for example, at the wavelength of λ = 365 nm the resolution is λ/5 and the amplification is 30). There has been determined and proved experimentally the light focusing criterion, namely, the presence of negative curvature of flat lens phase characteristic. For the first time it has been established that for the incident on a superlens light filed with radial polarization the regime of focusing is realized and with the azimuthal polarization – regime of channeling, i.e. the formation of narrow nondivergent light beam. New ways have been proposed of application of near-field lens for formation of two-scale light field, for resonance-amplified nanolithography and so on.
The methods are discussed of fabrication and investigation of new types of optical metamaterials based on the use of i) nanoporous dielectric matrices with pores filled with metal; ii) nanosized metal-dielectric structures, iii) self-assembled and oriented metal nanoparticles. A special attention is devoted to fish-net metamaterials possessing optical magnetism and having two- and three-dimension structures with centimeter sizes. There are presented the results of the investigation of metamaterials obtained using the mentioned above technologies. New methods are developed and devices are created for characterization of optical properties of metamaterials.
It seems probable that over the next years optical metamaterials will continue to yield many fundamental results with potential for practical application.
