US-Brazilian Workshop on Frontiers in Nanophotonics

0729058 Lipson这是一个美国-巴西纳米光子学研讨会的建议，将于2007年11月12日至17日在巴西瓜鲁哈举行。 本次研讨会将汇集集成光学和等离子体领域的研究人员，讨论在这一多学科研究领域的新进展和应用。 讲习班将由康奈尔大学的Michal Lipson、巴西坎皮纳斯州立大学的Hugo E Hernana-Figueroa和法国图卢兹大学的John Weiner组织。 光子学领域的研究可以导致新的应用技术的快速发展。 这个美国-巴西研讨会将使美国研究人员了解光子学在不经常探索的领域的需求和应用，例如光子学在农业综合企业中的应用，包括偏远和孤立地理区域的环境传感和节能照明。 该研讨会还将使巴西和美国的本科生和研究生接触尖端的光子研究。

0729058LipsonThis proposal is for a U.S. - Brazil workshop on nanophotonics to be held in Guaruja, Brazil November 12-17, 2007. This workshop will bring together researchers in the area of integrated optics and plasmonics to discuss new advances and applications in this multidisiplinary area of research. The workshop will be organized by Michal Lipson of Cornell University, Hugo E Hernandez-Figueroa of the State University of Campinas, Brazil and John Weiner from the University of Toulouse, France. Research in the area of photonics can result in the rapid development of new applied technologies. This US-Brazil workshop will expose US researchers to needs and applications of photonics in areas that are not often explored, such as photonics for applications in agribusiness including environmental sensing and energy efficient lighting for remote and isolated geographical areas. The workshop will also expose undergraduate and graduate students in both Brazil and the US to cutting edge photonic research.
