ONS 2015 - 2nd EOS Topical Meeting on Optics at the Nanoscale (ONS’15)

New properties in nanoscale structures can be dramati-cally tuned with size and shape of the nanostructures. Completely different optical behaviors are produced compared to the bulk counterparts, such as narrow line widths for emission, solar energy conversion, etc.
Indeed materials and applications require strong effort to develop spectroscopy and microscopy tools allowing visualization and manipulation of optical properties with nanoscale resolution.
Optics at Nanoscale is a Topical Meeting that covers a spectrum from applied to basic research of this domain providing a forum for all the aspects with the purpose of advancing the state-of-the-art of nanoscale optics.
Topics
Imaging: functional imaging, methods, enhanced resolution
Materials: metamaterials, photonics crystals, plasmonics, nano-engineered materials, graphene, nonlinearities
Concepts & functions: Optical magnetism, optical mimetism
Quantum optics at the nanoscale: sources, detectors
