Support of Nanophotonics Incubator: Beyond Classical Limits Incubator Meeting from May 14-16th, 2014 in Washington, DC.

该项目的目的是支持2014年5月14日至16日在华盛顿特区OSA举行的题为“纳米光子器件：超越经典极限”的会议。美国。这种支持将允许纳米光子学领域的顶尖专家就最近的进展和未来的研究方向发表全体会议。本次会议将为研究人员、工程师和商业领袖提供一个宝贵的机会，讨论纳米光子学技术研究的挑战和机遇。会议的结果将影响光子计算解决方案、敏感的即时诊断和下一代太阳能电池的革命。在过去的十年中，片上集成光子电路在大数据带宽应用方面显示出巨大的潜力。然而，当光子器件性能稳步提高时，固有的弱光-物质相互作用对集成密度、带宽和驱动功耗设置了基本限制。本次会议的目标是确定通信和光计算领域光子学技术的下一个革命性步骤。新兴的纳米光子学材料、光约束选项和集成方案将被讨论、分析和规划。

The objective of this project is to support a meeting titled Nanophotonic Device: Beyond Classical Limits from May 14-16th, 2014 at the OSA in Washington, DC. USA. This support will permit top-notch experts in nanophotonics to deliver plenary talks on recent advances and future research directions. This meeting will allow researchers, engineers and business leaders a valuable opportunity to meet and discuss challenges and opportunities regarding research in nanophotonics technology. Results of the meeting will impact photonic computing solutions, sensitive point-of-care diagnostics, and revolutions in next generation solar cells.Over the last decade, on-chip integrated photonic circuits have shown great potential for big-data bandwidth applications. However, while the photonic device performance is steadily increasing, the inherently weak light-matter-interactions set fundamental limits to integration density, bandwidth, and drive power consumption. The goal of this meeting is to determine the next revolutionary steps of photonics technologies for communication and optical computing. Emerging nanophotonics materials, optical confinement options, and integration schemes will be discussed, analyzed, and planned.
