Scope

The focus of the 10^th NOMA is on novel optical materials that possess unique characteristics for application in nonlinear- and electro-optics, communications, sensing, integrated- and nano- and bio-photonics. Materials of interest include, but are not limited to, nano-structures, metamaterials, photonic crystals, liquid crystals, composite materials, nonlinear and electro-optical crystals and optofludics.

The meeting provides a forum for plenary lectures on the fundamentals of these materials and their roles in actual optical devices, and oral/poster presentations of new research results and developments. Participants will have ample time to learn new materials and optical system applications, and involve themselves in ideas exchange and discussions in a picturesque setting.

This year, NOMA will also include:

- The final meeting of the European COST Action "Optical Micromanipulation by Nonlinear Nanophotonics", as joint sessions on the subjects of the Action including optical manipulation, micropatterning, optofluidics, biophotonics.
- The second year meeting of the European NMP Project "Self-Organized Nanomaterials for Tailored Optical and Electrical Properties" (NANOGOLD), as a joint session on metamaterials.
