OMC 18 will include the latest research and new technologies for optical radiation forces in the field of optical trappings and manipulations, as well as related topics. In particular, the conference welcomes research on structured light fields, plasmon-resonant fields, metamaterials, plasmonic and photonic crystals and other topics related to optical manipulation and structured materials.
Topics:
- structured optical fields, including beam shaping, polarization control, pulse shaping, frequency extension, and ultrafast laser technologies
- optical trapping and manipulation, including optical tweezer, holographic optical manipulation, plasmon trapping, multi-photon trapping, and atom trapping and cooling
- advanced devices and instruments, including spatial light modulator, adaptive optics, and near-field optical devices
- structured materials, including metamaterials, and plasmonic and photonic crystals
- applications including structured material processing, single molecule trapping, bio-photonics, metamaterials, quantum communications, and selective control of chemical reaction
- novel approaches, including novel interaction between optical fields and materials on nano-scale, novel regimes of spin-orbit interaction, and quantum control of molecular dynamics.
