2nd Workshop on         

This Workshop aims at providing a forum for material scientists, chemists and physicists where to debate about the state of the art and the perspectives of the photonic materials based on rare earth ions. Both fundamental photoluminescence properties and application-oriented materials investigations will be considered.

The first edition of the Workshop was held in Trento in May 2005 and was attended by more than 60 experts from 8 Countries (see the photo gallery), who presented original contributions in the area of rare-earth materials and processes. A special session was devoted to the mechanism of optical losses in low-phonon-energy glasses for IR fibers.
Several papers presented during the 1st PRE Workshop were published in a special issue of OPTICAL MATERIALS (Volume 28, issue 11, August 2006). The Guest Editors of that issue were Giancarlo C. Righini, Maurizio Ferrari and Bernard Champagnon.

The second edition of the Workshop was also held in Trento on May 31st - June 1st, 2007. The Workshop sessions were held in the Congress Room of the Center for Scientific and Technological Research  ( ITC-IRST, now Fondazione Bruno Kessler - FBK), which is a public research center of the Autonomous Province of Trento, in via Sommarive 18, Povo (Trento), Italy.
There was an increase in both the number of attendees and of presented papers, with a broader international participation.
Further details will be provided soon.
