PURPOSE OF THE SCHOOL

 

Nanophotonics is a broad field, having fascinating aspects both from a fundamental point of view and with regard to future applications in photonic devices and materials. The topics that will be covered by the school are those of nano plasmonics and nano photonics including energy efficiency and generation. The scope of the school is to introduce participants to concept, methods, applications and the state of the art in nanophotonics. The school will focus on both the theoretical and experimental aspects of the current research in the field, with an eye to applications. The School will be covered by lectures and seminars. A special event, supported by SIOF, to celebrate 50 years of Laser is scheduled .
