On Nov.13, Dr. Aleksey Starobor and Dr. Evgeny Mironov from Institute of Applied physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, visited SIOM. Prof. ZHOU Shengming from Laboratory of Micro-Nano Optoelectronic Materials and Devices met with the two Russian scientists.

In the seminar, Russian scholars presented two academic reports entitled "Thermo-optical and magneto-optical characteristics of ceramics for Faraday Isolators" and "The methods of diagnostics of novel optical materials used in the Institute of Applied Physics RAS", respectively. Following this, they had in-depth communications and discussions with SIOM researchers on magneto-optical ceramics and fluorescent ceramics.

Since 2014, both sides have made close exchanges and cooperation in magneto-optical transparent ceramics for high-power laser isolators. Related results were published in Scripta Materialia, Optics Letters, Optics Express, et al.
