Joint Conference on Ultrafast Optics V and Applications of High Field and Shortwavelength Sources XI

The Joint Conference on Ultrafast Optics V and Applications of High Field and Shortwavelength Sources XI will be held in Nara, Japan, from September 25 (Sunday) to 30 (Friday), 2005.
The scope of the UFO/HFSW includes:
# Generation of pico- and femtosecond optical pulses from lasers
# Parametric and quantum amplifiers of ultrashort pulses
# Ultrahigh peak-power laser systems and related technologies
# Novel methods for shaping and measuring femtosecond pulses
# Advances in nonlinear frequency conversion techniques
# Few-cycle pulses, carrier-envelope phase control
# Ultrashort THz pulses
# Attosecond pulse generation and measurement
# Current and prospective applications requiring novel or improved ultrafast sources and technologies
# Atoms, molecules, electrons and nuclei in intense light fields
# Laser-plasma interactions at relativistic intensities
# Laser-based XUV- and x-ray sources: harmonic generation, X-ray lasers, plasmas
# Short wavelength free electron lasers
# Advanced sources from interaction of intense lasers with relativistic electron beams
# Advanced X-ray optics
# Applications of XUV and X-ray sources
