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
