NANOMETA 2011, Tirol, Austria

The European Physical Society will organise the 3rd International Topical Meeting on Nanophotonics and Metamaterials (NANOMETA 2011), which will be held in Seefeld Ski Resort, Tirol, Austria during 3 - 6 January 2011. This will be the third conference in the NANOMETA series following a meeting in January 2007 and January 2009 attended by many leading authorities in the field.

NANOMETA 2011 aims to bring together the international Nanophotonics and Metamaterials research communities and will be devoted to papers reporting new and challenging results and ideas in these burgeoning fields. The technical programme will include invited and selected contributed papers in the areas of

  • Photonic, terahertz and microwave metamaterials
  • Near-field optics & optical super-resolution
  • Plasmonics and nanophotonics
  • Transformation optics
  • Nanobiophotonics

The conference will be organised in two oral parallel sessions (Nanophotonics and Metamaterials) and will feature joint plenary, tutorial and post-deadline sessions. The conference timetable will be arranged in a way that permits mid-day breaks for recreational activities and informal contact between participants.

Plenary Speakers

  • Peidong Yang, UC Berkeley, USA -“Nanowire Photonics and Single Cell Endoscopy"
  • Federico Capasso, Hayward University, USA - “Electrodynamical Forces”
  • Tony Heinz, Columbia University, USA – “Seeing Electrons in One and Two Dimensions: Optical Properties of Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene”
  • Vlad Shalaev, Purdue University- "Metamaterials: Transforming Theory into Reality"

Breakthrough Speakers

  • Henri Lezec, NIST, USA - "Light radiation pressure and metamaterials"
  • Roberto di Leonardo, University Roma, Italy - “Trapping swimming bacteria with light”
  • Kerry Vahala, Caltech, USA - "Phonon Laser"
  • Mark Stockman, Georgia State, USA – “Extreme Optical Field Plasmonics”
