Tutorial SF05—Micro/Nanoscale Thermal Radiation

NOTE: Harry Atwater's presentation — Recent Advances in Infrared Optics and Photonics — is rescheduled for Tuesday, November 28 at 8 am, in the Sheraton, Third Floor, Hampton. 

Instructors: Jean-Jacques Greffet, Institut d'Optique; Markus B. Raschke, University of Colorado, Boulder; Harry Atwater, Department of Applied Physics and Materials Science, California Institute of Technology

Control of thermal radiation with micro/nanoscale photonic modules concerns electromagnetic wave interactions with micro/nanostructured materials that can potentially modify the far-field radiative properties and near-field radiative heat transfer between closely spaced objects. The tutorial will cover the fundamentals of micro/nanoscale control of thermal radiation. The objective of the tutorial is to introduce the required knowledge to appreciate the recent advances in thermal radiation and infrared nanophotonics.
