The Roles of Optics in Information Processing
Abstract: Optics has many potential roles it could play in information processing. History, prospects and technology for interconnects and other applications are summarized, including key requirements for potentially viable technological approaches.
Moti Segev, Technion, Israel
Complex Nonlinear Opto-Fluidics
Abstract: Our work on symbiotic dynamics of light and nano-particles in liquids will be reviewed. Light-force varies the local particle density, modifies the fluid properties, inducing flow patterns, causing synergetic nonlinear-dynamics of light, nano-particles and fluid
Vladimir Shalaev, Purdue Univ., USA
Negative Refraction and Light Bending with Plasmonic Nanoantennas
Abstract: We review the exciting field of optical metamaterials and outline the recent progress in developing tunable and active MMs, semiconductor-based and loss-free negative-index MMs. We also discuss a new approach for broadband light bending.
