THE SIXTH FRENCH-ISRAELI SYMPOSIUM ON NONLINEAR AND QUANTUM OPTICS
Les Houches, France
January 30 - February 4, 2000




Dear Colleague,

FRISNO-6, the Sixth French Israeli Symposium on Nonlinear and Quantum
Optics,
will be held in Les Houches, in the French Alps from January 30 to
February 4, 2000

The series of FRISNO symposia has been going on for a decade,
bringing together a scientific community dedicated to Nonlinear and
Quantum Optics
from Israel, France, the rest of Europe, the US, Japan, and Russia.
Keeping up with the tradition, this upcoming meeting will provide
an excellent opportunity to renew old connections and form new ones.

We sincerely hope you will be joining us in Les Houches next January,
to present your latest results, and make contact with the other
participants.
Most presentations will be in poster form, with relatively few contributed
oral presentations,
in order to leave enough time for interaction among participants.
As in the past, the main sessions for oral presentations will be held in
the mornings and in the late afternoons,
and the evenings will be dedicated to the poster sessions.
The afternoons will be free for binary or many-body interactions,
while exploring the gravitational potential surfaces around the Physics
Center.
Because of limited capacity of the auditorium in Les Houches,
attendance will be limited to approximately 70 participants.

The Centre de Physique des Houches is located in a group of mountain
chalets
surrounded by meadows and woods at an altitude of 1150 meters.
It is above the village of Les Houches, facing the Mont-Blanc range.

sessions will be organized to facilitate direct discussions between
participants.

nonlinear and quantum optics, including such subjects as:

*Cooling and Trapping of Atoms
*Matter Waves
*Interactions within Confined Geometries and Microcavities
*Electroluminescent and other Organic Polymers
*Nonclassical Effects and Quantum Information
*Optical Patterns and Solitons

PARTIAL LIST OF SPEAKERS
