The workshop aims to bring together the linear and non-linear spectroscopy communities with the rapidly advancing field of coherent imaging. While second harmonic generation and two-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy at optical wavelengths are already established as powerful tools for visualizing cellular and tissue structures, as well as functionalized surfaces, non-linear imaging approaches at sub-100 nm wavelengths are still in their infancy.

The LINX 2026 workshop will bring together leading experts and early-career researchers to explore the rapidly advancing field of spectroscopy in liquids and soft matter. Spanning ultraviolet to X-ray regimes, the program highlights both linear and nonlinear techniques that are revolutionizing our understanding of electronic structure and ultrafast dynamics in complex systems.
