EOS Topical Meeting on Micro- and Nanoscale Photonic Systems - TOM 4

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

Micro-optics is a key technology for the 21st century. Applications exist in areas like communications and storage of information, laser technology and display, as well as in biotechnology. Nanotechnology extends the capabilities by including new phenomena like photonic bandgap structures and surface plasmons in metal-dielectric interfaces. This topical meeting covers the system aspects of micro- and nano-optics.

Topics

  • Micro- and nanofabrication
  • Micro-optics, diffractive optics and optical MEMS
  • Periodic micro- and nanostructures in complex systems
  • Micro- and nano-optics in sensing, communications, display, laser technology etc.
  • Nano-focusing and -imaging
  • Nanoscale optical microscopy
  • Light manipulation using subwavelength optics
  • Nanophotonic and plasmonic optical devices
  • Micro- and nanoscale radiative heat transfer
  • Singular optics, vortices, angular momentum and optical forces
