Optical Microsystems OµS19
Location
Anacapri, Island of Capri, Italy
Duration
9 -11 September 2019
OμS'19 is the 8th edition of the international conference wholly dedicated to Optical Micro-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. 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 the optical microsystem enabling technologies is very long and seems to increase day by day. Optical-Micro-Systems 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, optical system for energy conversion and management are among the hot topics of the conference are among the hot topics of the conference.

Special Sessions
Optical biosensing and imaging: from fundamentals to applications
Optical biosensing and imaging: from fundamentals to applications" session will be focused on recent advances in optical diagnosis and monitoring. The full spectrum of arguments related to this field, which ranges from basic photon-matter interaction to industrial applications, will be positively considered.

Optical System for Solar Energy
To provide renewable, clean energy for the next generations is one of the main challenge the world is facing now days. Optical systems play an important role in the conversion of sunlight in electrical and thermal energy and they contribute to the improvement in efficiency conversion as well as in light and energy management. Selective solar absorber and emitter, infrared mirror, concentrating system and all optical systems aimed to improve the efficiency in the energy conversion and management are in the scope of the special session.

Space exploration and Human spaceflight: new challenges for photonic and microsystems
In the next future, all space agencies will endeavor to send mission (with and without humans) to a range of destinations beyond Low Earth Orbit, including cis-lunar space, near-Earth asteroids, the Moon, and Mars and its moons. Also, programmes related to Space tourism are growing at a high pace. In this context, the use of photonics for space applications represents a huge technological leap in the space sector, being able to make a significant contribution to energy efficiency, mass reduction and overall dimensions of the apparatus, to radiation resistance, the speed of processing and flexibility in use. The Special Session aims to collect the main results of this strategic technology in fields, such as monitoring, propulsion, telecommunications, and data processing.

Optical Quantum Technologies
Quantum Information is the understanding, control and manipulation of quantum systems with the goal of achieving information processing and communication beyond the limits of the classical world. It is a deeply interdisciplinary field, lying in the cross-over of areas such as quantum physics, condensed matter physics, computer science, mathematics or electrical engineering. Photons, the first quanta, are at the heart of the new Quantum Technologies supporting entirely new modes of computation, offering provably secure communications, simulation capabilities unattainable with classical processors, sensors and clocks with unprecedented sensitivity and accuracy. Examples are the novel applications on the fields of quantum gravity, quantum chemistry and even biology.

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
