2018 Plasmonics and Nanophotonics Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar
Abstract
The seventh biennial Gordon Conference on Plasmonics and Nanophotonics will be held at Grand Summit Hotel at Sunday River, ME, from July 8-13, 2018. The conference will focus on recent advances in fundamental and applied plasmonics. There will be invited lectures and poster sessions.AbstractThe seventh biennial Gordon Conference on Plasmonics and Nanophotonics will be held at Grand Summit Hotel at Sunday River, ME, from July 8-13, 2018, preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar on Plasmonics and Nanophotonics (GRS, July 7-8, 2018). This seventh plasmonics conference, with a focus on recent advances in fundamental and applied plasmonics, arrives with plasmonics at the forefront of current revolutionary developments in optics atnanoscale dimensions. Enabling the next generation of applied plasmonic phenomena will require an enhanced focus on the fundamental science of plasmonics in new and exotic regimes. Leading this critical discussion will be invited talks covering a diverse range of topics including quantum mechanical effects, plasmon-induced hot carrier generation, plasmon-enabled chemistryand biotechnology, dielectric nanophotonics, novel sustainable materials, and metasurfaces. These cutting edge areas of research are in line with the ONR mission to design and develop new functional materials, processing techniques and systems to fulfill the requirements of unique naval applications. Thus the GRC Plasmonics and Nanophotonics conference directly addressesthe core of the ONR mission to provide transformative science and technology solutions. The overarching goal of this GRC is to advance the leading edge of plasmonics research by providing a forum where substantial interactions between top researchers and future leaders can stimulate new thinking, facilitate collaborations, and connect minds. As with the previous sixGRC Plasmonics conferences we will bring together a diverse, interdisciplinary group of students, young speakers, and senior researchers with training in engineering, chemistry, physics, and biology. Discussion leaders are senior recognized leaders in the field who can invite active discussion during the nine sessions planned. Speakers have been invited from a short list of active researchers in the field. A new feature is the late breaking research talks that will allow junior researchers with new results to share their research via shorter talks. Another feature is the short talks picked by a panel from the previous days poster session. This is a valuable opportunity for graduate students to present in front of their peer group. Evenings will feature the animated poster sessions that are a signature of GRC conferences.
