TOM 10 – Diffractive Optics

Topical meetings in Diffractive Optics in this series have been organized on eight occasions before, in most cases under the auspices of EOS (Savonlinna 1997, Jena 1999, Budapest 2001, Oxford 2003, Warsaw 2005, Barcelona 2007, Koli 2010, Delft 2012). This time, Diffractive Optics has been added as one new TOM in the 2014 EOSAM.
Contributions are solicited on all areas of Diffractive Optics and all application fields are concerned, including life sciences, sensing, solid state lighting, and solar photonics.

TOPICS

Topics include but are not limited to:

• Modelling of diffractive optics
• Diffractive optics and polarization
• Scattering by diffractive optical elements
• Inverse problems in diffraction optics
• Fabrication and characterisation, measurement and inspection
• Adaptive and switchable diffractive optics
• New materials for diffractive optics including metamaterials
