Optics at the Nanoscale (ONS’19)

Location
Anacapri, Island of Capri, Italy

Duration
9 -11 September 2019
 

ONS'19 is the 4th edition of the international conference wholly dedicated to Optical Nano-Systems organized by the European Optical Society (EOS) and the Italian Society of Optics and Photonics (SIOF), Italian Branch of the EOS. It will be held in Italy, 9th - 11th September 2019, amidst the wonderful scenery of the Island of Capri. New properties in nanoscale structures can be dramatically tuned with size and shape of the nanostructures. Completely different optical behaviors are produced compared to the bulk counterparts, such as narrow linewidths 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.

Important Dates and Deadlines

Abstract Submission

Submission is now open.

Submit here: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ons19

Authors are requested to submit an abstract of one to two pages.

Both Word and LaTeX templates are available:
Word: eos-author-guidelines.docx
Latex: eos-author-guidelines-latex.zip

IMPORTANT: Please indicate in the title if the contribution is for an oral or a poster presentation. If you have a paper that could be included in one of the SPECIAL SESSIONS, you may indicate it at the beginning of the short abstract. If the abstract is not selected for the session, it will be included in the technical program.

All accepted contributions are to be published in the EOS Topical Meeting Digest which will be available at the beginning of the meeting. All authors are requested to register for the meeting separately from abstract submission.

Publications

The authors can submit a manuscript of the accepted paper for publication on The Journal of the European Optical Society Rapid Publication (JEOS:RP). The manuscript submission deadline is 30 October 2019.

Venue

Capri is a beautiful and picturesque island in the Gulf of Naples that has been attracting countless visitors for thousands of years. It has two towns: Capri and Anacapri. If the Piazzetta of Capri is the unrivalled focus of the island’s glamorous social life, filled with elegant sidewalk cafes, the pretty historic centre of Anacapri located on the slopes of Mount Solaro is the exact opposite, with the peaceful piazzas and bougainvillea and geranium festooned lanes. It is a concentration of Mediterranean colours, scents and sounds. The EOS Topical Meetings in Capri will be held at the Conference Centre of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, the former Royal Swedish Academy Solar Observatory, Via Ceselle, Anacapri (NA), Italy.
