Welcome to the homepage of the research group on Nonlinear Dynamics, Nonlinear Optics and Lasers of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya.

Our group belongs to the Departament de Física i Enginyeria Nuclear of the UPC. It is located at the Terrassa campus of the university, and also at the Institute of Photonic Sciences of Barcelona.

Our general goal is to study the nature and effects of nonlinear phenomena in different types of physical systems, with a special emphasis on optical devices such as photonic crystals, lasers and microcavities. An important motivation of these studies is to elucidate the potential use of nonlinear effects in technological applications such as optical communications.

Additionally, stochastic and nonlinear effects are studied in other disciplines, including systems biology, neuroscience, and nonlinear electronics.
