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

Paper Contributions

Prospective authors are invited to submit their scientific paper in one of the listed topics. The abstract shall cover a minimum of half a page and a maximum of two pages and shall be submitted online with the responsible author’s contact data. The EOS guidelines for abstracts can be downloaded at www.myeos.org/abstractguidelines. Should you work with Latex-files, please click here to download the guidelines and here to download the template.

Deadline of submission: 06 June 2008
