About Plasmonics and Metamaterials Optics

The 2008 OSA topical meeting Plasmonics and Metamaterials will bring together the two scientific communities of plasmonics and metamaterials, both of which deal with tailored nanoscale metal/dielectric structures.

The meeting will cover all experimental and theoretical aspects of this rapidly emerging field ranging from fundamental science to applications/products, such as biological sensing. The scope comprises linear optical characterization, polarization manipulation, near-field optics, sub-wavelength focusing, enhanced nonlinear optical phenomena, ultrafast optics, and quantum optics.

In addition, corresponding novel approaches regarding nanofabrication and quantitative numerical simulation are of particular interest.
