A GOLDEN JUBILEE

The year 2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the seminal paper by
Nicolaas Bloembergen and co-workers, which had a profound
impact on the field of Nonlinear Optics and paved the way for a
new era in science and technology.
The discovery, understanding and manipulation of nonlinear
optical phenomena have led to numerous scientific andtechnological advances, not only in photonics, but also in the
broader fields of knowledge in physics, chemistry, biology, andmedicine. Many areas of research and innovation, from laser
technology to high-intensity physics, photochemistry, frequency
metrology, and quantum information science have been madepossible through the exploitation of nonlinear optical effects.
In celebration of this momentous occasion, there will be a special
symposium, NLO 50, to be held during 8-10 October 2012, inBarcelona, Spain. The symposium also coincides with thecommemoration of the 10th anniversary of ICFO-The Institute of
Photonics Sciences, Barcelona, the first international institute in
Spain dedicated to the advancement of Photonics science andtechnology.
