WODIL 2024 takes place on September 18th-19th

The 13th German-French Workshop on Oxide, Dielectric and Laser single crystals (WODIL 2024) is devoted to any research involving oxide, chalcogenide, or halide single crystals that are used as optical, piezoelectric, OPOs or laser materials, and as substrates for piezoelectric and oxide electronic applications. The workshop brings together scientists and scholars from industry, research labs, and universities to present and discuss the recent advances in the field of oxide crystals, dielectric materials, laser and non-linear optical crystals, solid-state lasers, and related topics (laser spectroscopy, optical index metrology, magneto-optics, etc.).

The workshop is a joint collaboration of the German Society of Crystal Growth (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kristallwachstum und Kristallzüchtung-DGKK, AK Optische Kristalle), the CNRS networks CRISTECH (Crystal Growth Technologies) and Cmdo+ (Optical crystals and devices), and the French Committee for Crystal Growth (CFCC) under the aegis of the French Association of Crystallography (AFC).

This workshop is organized by the SIMaP laboratory at the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme -Alpes, UGA campus, Saint Martin d’Hères. Previous workshops have been organized by FEE (now EOT GmbH - Coherent) in Idar-Oberstein (2011, 2014, 2018, 2021), ISL in Saint Louis (2012, 2015), ICMCB in Pessac/Bordeaux (2017), IKZ in Berlin (2016, 2020, 2023) and ILM in Villeurbanne/Lyon (2019, 2022).

Anyone interested in the workshop topic is cordially invited to participate and to present her or his interesting scientific results in an oral presentation of about 20 minutes or in a poster presentation during the poster session. The workshop is an international event and open for researchers from all over the world. Workshop language is English. The workshop 4 oral and poster sessions will be open to students and university staff on campus in the limit of 90 seats available at the Andrée Michel amphitheater. The workshop will start on September 18th @ 1 pm, and end on September 19th @ 1 pm.
