Workshop Chiral Photonics
Synopsis:
In the last fifteen years the optics community witnessed impressive advances in the generation, manipulation and usage of structured light, especially at nanoscale level. More recently, further researches have led to the notions of spin-orbit coupling and transverse angular momentum of light. Structured light with a chiral character enables numerous applications in nanooptics, biosensing and near-field microscopy, including three-dimensional control over atoms, molecules and nanostructures, and allowing for the realization of chiral nanophotonic interfaces and plasmonic devices. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers with different backgrounds to discuss the latest developments in the field.
