Synopsis

Nanophotonics aims at controlling light at nanometer scales. The design of nanostructures that can resonantly interact with light is of crucial importance to enhance light matter interactions and to control field distributi-ons at subwavelength scales. These novel nanostructures offer technical and technological solutions with high innovation potential. The TOM 5 will address both fundamental and application aspects of resonant photonics. Topics will cover quantum nano-optics, bio- and chemo- sensing, non-linear optics, metamaterials, optical
trapping, new plasmonic materials, theory and modal analysis, among others.

Topics include

  • Quantum nano-optics & optical antennas
  • Nanophotonics for bio- and chemo-sensing applications
  • Active and tunable optical metamaterials
  • Nonlinear optics in nanostructures and metamaterials
  • Meta-surfaces & applications
  • New plasmonic materials
  • Nanomanipulation with light, optical trapping
  • Nanophotonics for energy applications
  • Nonreciprocity, and time-modulated nanophotonic materials
  • Transport in quasiperiodic and random photonic systems
  • Theory and modelling for nanophotonics and metamaterials, Topological photonics
