We are pleased to announce that ICORS satellite event, the International sChool On Nonlinear vibrational Spectro-microscopy (ICONS) is confirmed and it will move online, taking place in the form of web-meeting from July 30th to August 1st 2020.
ICONS will be structured around comprehensive review talks from world leading experts in complementary areas of nonlinear Raman spectroscopy both on theory, experiments and applications.
Specifically, the school will be three days of classes, with an introduction on the peculiarities of nonlinear Raman approaches with respect to linear Raman spectroscopy,
discussing the technical requirements and the main tools that are conventionally exploited in modern experimental laboratories to manipulate and control optical pulses.
The following two days will be focused on time-resolved and microscopic techniques, with principles and examples.
The program, supported by world leading experts in the field of Raman nonlinear photonics, aims to have a balance between theoretical and experimental advances.
Emphasis will be given to interdisciplinary aspects with other fields of research as well as to possible applications.
The aim of the school is to provide high level-expertise for young researchers and students interested in nonlinear Raman spectroscopy,
applied to access dynamical and microscopic properties at the molecular and condensed matter levels.
ICONS meeting will also represent a great opportunity for maintaining continuous scientific exchanges within the ICORS community until the next summer edition.
ICONS and ICORS
ICONS meeting is intented as an advanced school, but for the youngest generation of Raman spectroscopists it will also represent a great opportunity for plunging into the ICORS atmosphere waiting for the 20/21 edition.
The following video is the welcoming to the International sChool On Nonlinear vibrational Spectro-microscopy by Prof. Wolfgang Kiefer
and an introduction to the Opening Talk of the ICORS XXV meeting, where he painted an amazing fresco of the ICORS history,
discussing how linear and nonlinear Raman spectroscopy has developed over half a century as reflected by the previous ICORS conferences.

PROGRAM
In view of a wide response, homogeneously distributed worldwide, we haven’t set a single daily schedule built on our local (European) time zone.
On the contrary, each day of the school has a timetable optimized for a different time zone (Day1-Europe, Day2-Asia, Day3-America).
The times in the program are in GMT+2 (Rome Timezone).
You can download the program at the following link, or directly sinc your calendar here.
During their lectures, the speakers will be asked to foster the discussion between the students,
encouraging informal contacts and the scientific interactions among all the participants, creating a cohesive group of international researchers interested in nonlinear Raman spectro-microscopy.
The program aims to have a balance between theoretical and experimental advances.
In particular, the following topics will be covered:
Nonlinear optics for pump-probe experiments: principles and examples.
Time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy in molecular and solid state compounds.
Time versus frequency domain Raman experiments.
Advances in multi-dimensional vibrational spectroscopy.
Optical Control of Light-Matter Interactions.
Linear vs non-linear Raman for spectro-microscopy.
Nonlinear Raman in microscopy experiments: spatial resolution, chemical sensitivity and technical advantages.
Nonlinear Raman microscopic experiments building on broadband and/or narrowband pulses.
Vibrational response of molecules for CARS, SRS and RIKES approaches. Derivation of the system response and discussion of main differences and advantages.
Examples of coherent Raman applied to microscopic studies of solid state systems and biological compounds.
Theoretical and computational spectroscopy.
Atomic and molecular structural dynamics resolved in space and time.
Time resolved Raman studies of nanostructured materials.
