Enjoying 🍻 in a traditional Brit pub with old and new friends Nicolas Englebert After great comb discussions 🌈 Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies And celebrating some big news with Benedikt 🥳

Thanks Im(Sergei K. Turitsyn) for the amazing workshop... and the nice picture!

Amazing #FreQomb workshop ⭕🌈 organized by Dr Gabriella Gardosi and Natalia Manuilovich last week in Events at Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Inspiring talks 📢, successful round tables, social events 🍺, ... what more can you ask for? 😍 Thanks again for the invitation! I'm looking forward to the next edition! 👀

The year 2024 gets off to a flying start 🚀 Check out our new publication in ACS Photonics (Editor's Pick 😍), where we leverage cavity detuning to get high peak-to-background-ratio cavity solitons💫 📢 Read it here: pubs.aip.org/aip/app/articl… Francois Leo OPERA-Photonics @CMasarabi

📢 New publication! No need for chi(2) if you have two pumps; we demonstrate parametric driving of soliton in a pure Kerr resonator! I learned a lot, thanks to all! Hats off to Greg Moille for the experiments and Miro Erkintalo for leading this work 🎓🔥 nature.com/articles/s4156…

After a successful first edition, I'm excited to announce that Francois Leo, Bart Kuyken, and I are organizing the second edition of our workshop on Frequency Combs⭕️🌈 in Ghent! Registrations are open; for more information: frequencycomb.be Hope to see you there 😍 RT 🙏

Busy week ahead at CLEO Conference in Charlotte 📢🇺🇸 Two talks, a Symposium, and nice collaboration results! 🔥 Looking forward to meeting many of you there 👀, to discuss science or share food 🍔, a coffee ☕️and why not some drinks! 🍺

Great week at CLEO in (Charlotte, US), lots of fascinating talks 📢 and interesting discussions 🗣More importantly, it was great to catch up with some friends 🖐 Now looking forward to our conference in September (frequencycomb.be)! ⭕️🌈 Hope to see you there! 👀

Do you like frequency combs ⭕️🌈, waffles 🧇, chocolates 🍫, beers 🍻, medieval castles 🏰, boats ⛵️, and museums 🖼️? Look no further and come to our workshop in Ghent (Belgium) on Sep. 9-10! 🇧🇪🇪🇺 📢 Registration is open: frequencycomb.be/registration Feel free to retweet! 🙏😍

Our Frequency Combs workshop (Ghent, Sep. 9-10) 🌈⭕️ detailed scientific program is now available! 👀 frequencycomb.be/scientific-pro… Besides science, a boat trip ⛵️ and a dinner in a Belgian brewery are included 🇧🇪🍻 Don't wait time to register 😍

📢 New preprint online! We unveil the behavior of cavity solitons in trapping potentials 🧐 While potentials can be used to control the soliton's properties 💪, they can also lead to a Hopf instability 😱 Check it out here 👀: arxiv.org/abs/2406.12848 Francois Leo #solitons

Looking for a smooth transition back from vacation? ⛱️🌴 Attend our Frequency Comb workshop in Ghent (Sep. 9-10)! Registration closes in August; keep that out of your mind 💡 Sunny? ☀️ Not sure, but beautiful? Obviously, it's a medieval city 😍🏰 ⏩frequencycomb.be

Over 100 people have already registered for our Frequency Combs ⭕️🌈workshop in Ghent (Belgium)! 😍🔥Will we be more than at the first edition (117, see below)? 👀 Some places are still available; register now! ⏩ frequencycomb.be

🚨Only one week left to register for the Frequency Combs workshop (Ghent, Sep. 9-10, frequencycomb.be)! 📢 In addition to the talks, you'll have the chance to enjoy a boat tour of the Ghent rivers ⛵️ and a Belgian dinner! 🇧🇪🍻 What else do you need to be convinced?

Last day to register! 👀
