Nonlinear Waves Seminar

Localized patterns in driven dissipative systems Yi-Ping Ma Applied Mathematics , University of Colorado Boulder Date and time: Tuesday, October 15, 2013 - 4:30pm Location: ECOT 226 Abstract: This talk provides an overview of some recent development in the study of spatially localized states in pattern forming systems. These localized...

Nonlinear dynamics of surface plasmons Samuel Butler Applied Mathematics , University of Colorado Boulder Date and time: Tuesday, October 8, 2013 - 4:00pm Location: ECOT 226 Abstract: Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs) are electromagnetic waves that propagate along metal/dielectric interfaces. They have many interesting properties such as wavelength reduction and spatial...
