Plasmonics and Metamaterials (META)

About Plasmonics and Metamaterials (META)

The OSA Topical Meeting Plasmonics and Metamaterials will bring together the two scientific communities of plasmonics and metamaterials, both of which deal with tailored metal/dielectric and metal/semiconductor nanostructures. This meeting covers all experimental and theoretical aspects of this rapidly developing field ranging from fundamental science to applications and products, such as chemical and biomedical sensing.

The scope especially comprises linear and nonlinear optical characterization, polarization manipulation, near-field optics and spectroscopy, sub-wavelength focusing, enhanced nonlinear optical phenomena, ultrafast optics, quantum optics, and active nanoplasmonics and metamaterials. Furthermore, corresponding novel approaches regarding nanofabrication and quantitative numerical simulation are of considerable interest.
