EOS Topical Meetings at Capri 2015
Dal 17/09/2015 ore 08.00 al 19/09/2015 ore 18.00
Capri is a beautiful and picturesque island in the Gulf of Naples that has been attracting countless visitors for thousands of years. Its mild climate, the numerous monuments and island highlights and last but not least the excellent Italian cuisine and wine culture make Capri a perfect location for high-quality EOS Topical Meetings in an enjoyable mediterranean atmosphere.

The EOS Topical Meeting on Optical MicroSystems (OMS) will be held at the Hotel La Palma, Via Vittorio Emanuele 39, 80073 Capri, NA, Italy, and the Topical Meeting on Optics at NanoScale (ONS) will be held at Hotel La Residenza, Via Federico Serena 22, 80073 Capri, NA, Italy. The 2 hotels are at walking distance (less than 100 meters).
6th EOS Topical Meeting on Optical Microsystems (OµS’15)
Synopsis
OµS’15 is the 6th edition of the international conference wholly dedicated to optical microsystems organized by the European Optical Society (EOS) and the Italian Society of Optics and Photonics (SIOF), Italian Branch of the EOS.
An optical microsystem can be defined as a complex system, able to perform one or more sensing and actuation functions, taking advantage of the progress in micro- and nano-technologies to integrate in a smart way optical devices with electronic, mechanical and sensing components. The increasing interest in this field arises from the perspective applications that would significantly improve the quality of life. The list of possibilities offered by these enabling technologies is very long and seems to increase day by day. Optical microsystems are finding applications not only in ICT, but also in biotechnologies, medicine, food and environmental monitoring, aerospace and automotive, homeland security, etc.
The conference programme will focus on fundamental as well as more applied topics. Biosensors, biochips and lab-on-chip, microfluidic and optofluidic systems, non-linear and quantum optical devices, silicon-based optoelectronics and MOEMS, chemical and physical optical microsensors, new characterization methods for materials and devices, novel imaging techniques, biomimetic devices and systems are among the hot topics of the conference.

2nd EOS Topical Meeting on Optics at the Nanoscale (ONS’15)
Synopsis
New properties in nanoscale structures can be dramati-cally tuned with size and shape of the nanostructures. Completely different optical behaviors are produced compared to the bulk counterparts, such as narrow line widths for emission, solar energy conversion, etc.
Indeed materials and applications require strong effort to develop spectroscopy and microscopy tools allowing visualization and manipulation of optical properties with nanoscale resolution.
Optics at Nanoscale is a Topical Meeting that covers a spectrum from applied to basic research of this domain providing a forum for all the aspects with the purpose of advancing the state-of-the-art of nanoscale optics.
Topics
- Imaging: functional imaging, methods, enhanced resolution
- Materials: metamaterials, photonics crystals, plasmonics, nano-engineered materials, graphene, nonlinearities
- Concepts & functions: Optical magnetism, optical mimetism
- Quantum optics at the nanoscale: sources, detectors
