Summary
This first workshop between Institut Fresnel (INSIS/CNRS/Aix-Marseille University) and Imperial College will focus on research advances in metamaterials, metasurfaces and plasmonics. Topics covered include optical nanoantennas, thermoplasmonics, near-field scanning microscope, nonlinear waves in plasmonic waveguides, topological crystals, Mie scattering and quantum optics, metamaterials for MRI imaging, time-varying and network metamaterials, plasmonics and metasurfaces, exceptional points in PT-symmetric lattices, cloaking and elastic metamaterials.
