APC Workshop: Biomedical Optical Sensors – Differentiators for Winning Technologies
Sunday, 12 June
14:00-18:00
In this workshop, experts will highlight developments in pertinent fields - and a panel discussion will tackle the question: 'What are the key differentiators for winning biosensor technologies?'
APC Workshop Schedule and Speaker Abstracts
This topical meeting will bring together physicists and engineers in order to present and discuss the latest achievements within the area of light-speed control. Exciting issues to be discussed include the physics and interpretation of various light-control schemes as well as the potentials and fundamental limitations of possible applications. The area is closely connected to research within structurally engineered materials, such as metamaterials, that allow fundamental control of light-matter interaction. The meeting will provide a forum for vital discussion among experimental and theoretical scientists.
Papers are being considered in the following topic categories:
- Physics of Light Control:
- Electromagnetically induced transparency
- Coherent population oscillations
- Four-wave mixing and parametric processes
- Absorption or gain saturation
- Stimulated Brillouin and Raman scattering
- Passive and active manipulation in periodic structures and resonators
- New schemes and physical effects
- Materials and Engineered Structures for Light Control:
- Metamaterials, including plasmonic structures
- Photonic crystal waveguides and periodic structures
- Micro resonators
- Optical fibers including holey fibers
- Semiconductor nanostructures, including quantum wells and quantum dots
- Saturable optical amplifiers and absorbers
- BEC and hot vapor cells
- Crystals and other solid-state materials
- New materials and structures
- Applications:
- Optical communications; all-optical buffers, routers, etc.
- Microwave photonics; microwave filters and phased array systems
- Quantum optics
- Sampling systems
- Enhanced optical nonlinear response
- Sensors and improved measurement systems
- Figures-of-merit and fundamental limitations
- New applications
- Implementation Techniques:
- Experimental techniques
- Theoretical techniques
- Effective numerical simulation techniques
