Photonics of Functional Nanomaterials

Recent progress in nanoscience and nanotechnology allows us to explore photonic functions of artificially fabricated nano-structures, expanding fundamental studies of light-matter interactions and their potential applications in photonics, plasmonics, and biomedicine to the nanoscale. The Workshop will provide a forum for the interdisciplinary research in the field of optically active nanostructures. The topics include, but are not limited to: light harvesting and emission with molecular complexes, conjugated polymers, upconversion nanoparticles, semiconductor nanocrystals and their hybrid structures; plasmonics with metal nanostructures; and metamaterials.
