Microresonators Session at ICTON

 

H

Last updated: 31 Jan 2010

 

 

Held for the fifth time in the frame of International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON), the Special Session will focus on the latest developments in optical microcavities theory and design and their applications as microlasers, single-photon sources, wavelength-selective filters and switches, delay lines and bio(chemical) sensors. All scientists and engineers working in this broad area are invited to submit their abstracts to the program of the Special Session. The program will include invited and contributed papers as well as poster presentations.

 

 

Please, submit your papers (up to 4 pages in electronic form, Word 6.0 or later version accompanied by a PDF version) via e-mail SBoriskina@gmail.com with a copy to the ICTON organizers: icton@itl.waw.pl. Please, follow ICTON submission rules available at http://www.itl.waw.pl/icton/reference.doc.

 

Suggested topics include but are not limited to the following:
  • Whispering-gallery modes
  • Microsphere and microdisk resonators
  • Photonic crystal microcavities
  • Microcavity shape engineering
  • Coupling and transport phenomena
  • Microcavity lasers and LEDs
  • Photonic nanojets
  • Label-free and fluorescence bio(chemical)sensors
  • Optical bistability in microcavity structures
  • Quantum information processing with microresonators
  • Nonlinear processes in microcavities and coupled-cavity structures
  • Cavity polaritons and plasmons
  • Cavity opto-mechanics
  • Tunable and re-configurable cavities
  • Parametric processes in microcavities
  • Cavity QED
