Symposium HH-Optical Metamaterials—From New Plasmonic Materials to Metasurface Devices

Metamaterials and plasmonics have generated new research paradigms at the interface of material science and nanophotonics, and greatly strengthened our understanding of light-matter interaction as well as material property engineering. Most recently, a number of emerging sub-fields of metamaterials and plasmonics, for example, metasurface structures and tunable optical/plasmonic materials beyond gold and silver have attracted wide attention and advanced the scientific knowledge in multiple dimensions.

In general, this symposium will provoke deeper thoughts about the future developments in directions including quantum metamaterials, parity-time symmetry, nonlinear and ultrafast dynamics in metamaterials, structured and tunable optical/plasmonic materials, etc. and discuss the potential synergy between these vital directions.

Topics will include:

  • Quantum plasmonics and quantum metamaterials
  • Novel designs and computational studies of metamaterials and metasurfaces
  • Parity-time photonics and optical magnetis
  • Tunable and switchable metamaterials and metasurfaces
  • Recent progresses in non-metal plasmonic materials
  • Nonlinear and Ultrafast Plasmonics and Metamaterials
  • Scalable and sustainable manufacturing techniques for 3D metamaterials
  • Application of new plasmonic materials in metamaterials and metasurfacesand other photonic structure design
  • Non-electromagnetic metamaterials
  • All-dielectric metamaterials
