Ultra Optics constitutes a synergistic combination of Nano Optics and Laser Physics, with major contributions from the two enabling fields Photonic Materials and Optical Systems. The combination of these fields into one common key research area fundamentally opens new possibilities for generating and controlling light in a spatio-temporal way using virtually arbitrary properties. In this way, a bridge is built between fundamental research and industrial applications.
