The symposium seeks to provide a general overview of recent advances in new material platforms and structure design, including fabrication techniques and promising applications. It will address emerging topics of hybrid nanophotonics including plasmonics, metaphotonics, metasurfaces, and two- dimensional materials to overcome existing limitations that prevent the development of practical photonic devices. Novel approaches in plasmonics and nanophotonics promise the generation, processing, sensing, and detection of signals at the nanometer scale with great potential in a wide range of fields, such as photovoltaics, optical communications, quantum information technology, biophotonics, lighting, sensing, chemistry, and medicine. Two obstacles that are holding back fundamental advances and the broad application of plasmonic-based technologies originate from inherent material losses in constitutive plasmonic components and the lack of efficient tunability. The recent discovery of new plasmonic materials, as well as 2D materials and low-dimensional materials with low loss, tunable optical properties, and CMOS compatibility, can enable a breakthrough in the field of nanophotonics and their applications.
