Dear forum colleagues,

I'm looking for universities which have a good research lab in the field of nonlinear optics, located in Canada.
Can you please give me some hints or contacts?

PS: If anyone need information about Brazil and Portugal, please don't hesitate and just ask! ;)

If you're looking for nonlinear optics, I've heard great things about the university of Ottawa, and the University of Toronto. Note that at the U of O, Prof. Robert Boyd, who wrote the standard textbook on nonlinear optics works there, and I think has an impressively large group. Beyond that I can't really say.
