Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The time has come to submit your abstract(s) to the upcoming FRISNO-9 conference, which, as you know, will take place in Les Houches, in the French Alps between February 12 and 16, 2007.

We remind you that the symposium covers topics within the general areas of nonlinear and quantum optics, including, but not limited to: general phenomenology, semiconductors NLO, organic materials NLO, Ultrashort nonlinear interactions, Coherent control, Confined Geometries and Microcavities, Strong field interactions, Nonclassical Effects and Quantum Information, Nonlinear effects in optical fibers, Propagation effects.

As in previous years, the list of topics should not restrict anybody from submitting an abstract, even if it does not fall exactly under any of the subtitles.

A preliminary list of speakers includes:
Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Immanuel Bloch, David Gershoni, Peter Hamm, Khaled Karrai, Ian Walmsley and Jean-Pierre Wolf.
