About META

Photonic Metamaterials and Plasmonics (META) will bring together the two scientific communities of nanoplasmonics 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, nanoscopy, plasmonic-enhanced solar cells and lighting, cancer treatment, etc.

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