EOS Topical Meeting on Nanophotonics, Photonic Crystals and Metamaterials - TOM 3

29th September 2008 - 2nd October 2008
Paris-Nord Villepinte, Parc d'expositions et Centre de Conventions - Paris, France

This topical meeting is part of the EOS Annual Meeting 2008 and will be held from 29 September - 02 October 2008.

Synopsis

Nanophotonics, photonic crystals and metamaterials include a family of nanoscale photonic structures and devices where light matter interaction takes place within the wavelength and sub-wavelength scales and, on the other hand, the physical, chemical and structural nature of artificially or naturally nanostructured matter determines these interactions.

Topics

  • Photonic atoms
  • Optical microcavities
  • Photonic crystals
  • Photonic wires
  • Nanostructured quantum dots
  • Semiconductor nanodots
  • Photonic properties of fullerenes
  • Opals
  • Nanostructured metal surface
  • Plasmonic crystals
  • Periodic and quasi periodic crystals
  • Random structures
  • Super- and hyper-optical elements
  • Quantum and nonlinear optics in nanostructures
  • Near-field optics
  • Microscopy and associated technologies
  • Optical tweezers and spanners
  • Nanomanipulation with light
  • Optical lattices
  • Photonic properties of nanofabricated surfaces and films
  • Sub-wavelength concentration of light
  • Metamaterials
  • Active and tunable photonic metamaterials
