SYNOPSIS

Optical imaging techniques have long history of both fundamental research and practical applications. Nowadays, an extraordinary development of digital photo and video cameras, DVD players, the last generation of cellular telephones, makes the optical imaging technologies accessible not only for the scientifi c community but also for general population. The complexity and sophistication of imaging techniques is constantly increasing. We are witnessing a permanent search for increasing “dimensionality” of imaging, growth of its information content, enhancement of resolution and sensibility, et cetera. New techniques such as imaging with metamaterials, quantum imaging, imaging of nanostructures, and others have appeared in the last few years. The whole area of optical imaging techniques in spite of its very long history is currently experiences a burst of activity in its numerous branches.
The focus of the Topical Meeting is on the spectrum of novel techniques that are introduced to meet the drastically extended requirements in optical imaging. The meeting will be traditionally organized in a manner to allow intensive discussions and a fruitful exchange of ideas with one track of presentations and a poster session. The restricted scope of the topical meeting in subjects and number of participants will give you the opportunity to easily establish contacts and to initiate new business relations and research collaborations.

Topics

This meeting will be the third in the series of EOS Topical Meetings “Advanced Imaging Techniques”. Two previous ones took place in Delft (2003) and London (2005). The main topics of the Lille meeting are (i) image creation (ii) object reconstruction and (iii) new technologies. The subtopics that are covered by the three main topics include:

• Advanced techniques in microscopic and lithographic imagin
• Advanced imaging in astronomy
• Phase contrast imaging
• Quantum imaging
• Optical coherence and diffraction tomography
• Adaptive optics
• Optical data storage
• Biomedical imaging
• Imaging with metamaterials
• Use of phase singularities in imaging
• Instrumentation
• New technologies
