GRC/GRS Plasmonics and Nanophotonics Harvesting, Generating, and Manipulating Light at the Nanoscale. To Be Held at The Grand Summit Hotel, in Sunday River, ME, on July 8-13, 2018.

这个GRC的首要目标是通过提供一个论坛来推进等离子体和纳米光子学研究的前沿，在这个论坛上，顶级研究人员和未来的领导者之间的实质性互动可以激发新的思维，促进合作，并连接思想。等离子体和纳米光子学GRC的演讲者和讨论领导者是该领域最活跃和世界知名的科学家。它既包括资深的、在纳米光子学领域建立良好的领导者，也包括初级科学家和领导者。在每个演讲者之后，会分配时间来讨论演讲者的主题。下午有充足的非结构化时间用于合作。生动的海报会议是会议的一大特点，也鼓励了讨论和合作。来自NSF ECCS的支持将用于资助演讲者，学生和一些初级研究人员。第七届两年一度的戈登等离子体和纳米光子学会议将于2018年7月8日至13日在马萨诸塞州Sunday River的Grand Summit酒店举行，之前是戈登等离子体研究研讨会（GRS， 7月7日至8日）。等离子体动力学和纳米光子学领域涵盖了与纳米结构的光相互作用的科学和工程。纳米尺度物体附近增强光捕获、亚波长约束和强局部电磁场的前景激发了纳米光学现象的广泛研究。作为这些研究的结果，等离子体和纳米光子学的应用已经遍及各个学科，从化学到材料科学、生物学、医学、信息、能源和通信。最近出现并将在今年会议上广泛讨论的主题包括：量子力学效应、等离子体诱导的热载流子生成、等离子体激活的光催化和生物技术、介电纳米光子学、新型可持续材料和超表面。在GRC概念的精神下，这次会议的目的是促进在等离子体和纳米光子学多学科领域工作的学术、工业和政府研究人员之间的思想交流和建立牢固的关系。之前的戈登研究研讨会正在举行，以帮助更多的研究生和年轻的研究人员在该领域。我们鼓励演讲者和海报展示者强调当前各种主题的进展、未发表的作品、新想法和对未来的猜测。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The overarching goal of this GRC is to advance the leading edge of plasmonics and nanophotonics research by providing a forum where substantial interactions between top researchers and future leaders can stimulate new thinking, facilitate collaborations, and connect minds. The speakers and discussion leaders at the GRC on Plasmonics and Nanophotonics are some of the most active and world renowned scientists in the field. It includes both senior, well established leaders in the field along with junior scientists and leaders in Nanophotonics. After every speaker there is allocated time for discussion on the speakers topic. There is ample unstructured time in the afternoons for collaborations. The lively poster sessions that have been a Hallmark of the meeting also encourage discussions and collaboration. Support from NSF ECCS will be used to fund speakers, students and some junior researchers.TECHNICALThe seventh biennial Gordon Conference on Plasmonics and Nanophotonics will be held at Grand Summit Hotel at Sunday River, ME, from July 8-13, 2018, preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar on Plasmonics (GRS, July 7-8). The fields of plasmonics and nanophotonics encompass the science and engineering of optical interactions with nanostructures. Prospects of enhanced light harvesting, subwavelength confinement and strong local electromagnetic fields near nanoscale objects have motivated extensive investigation of nanooptical phenomena. As a result of these investigations, applications of plasmonics and nanophotonics have reached across various disciplines, ranging from chemistry to material science, biology, medicine, information, energy, and communications. Examples of topics that have recently emerged and will be extensively discussed in this year's meeting include: quantum mechanical effects, plasmon-induced hot carrier generation, plasmon-enabled photocatalysis and biotechnology, dielectric nanophotonics, novel sustainable materials, and metasurfaces. In the spirit of the GRC concept, the intent of this meeting is to promote the exchange of ideas and the building of strong relationships among academic, industrial, and government researchers working in the multidisciplinary field of Plasmonics and Nanophotonics. The preceding Gordon Research Seminar is being held to help include more graduate students and young researchers in the field. Speakers, as well as poster presenters, will be encouraged to emphasize advances, unpublished work, new ideas, and speculations for the future on a variety of current topics.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
