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.

GRC的总体目标是通过提供一个论坛，让顶尖研究人员和未来的领导者之间的实质性互动能够激发新的思维，促进合作，并连接思想，从而推动等离子体和纳米光子学研究的前沿。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之一。它既包括该领域的资深、成熟的领导者，也包括初级科学家和纳米光子学的领导者。在每个发言者之后，分配有时间来讨论发言者的主题。下午有充足的自由时间进行合作。活跃的海报会议一直是会议的标志，也鼓励讨论和合作。NSF ECCS的支持将用于资助演讲者、学生和一些初级研究人员。技术第七届戈登等离子体和纳米光子学会议将于2018年7月8日至13日在密歇根州星期日河的Grand Summit酒店举行，在此之前将举行戈登等离子体研究研讨会(GRS，7月7日至8日)。等离子体和纳米光子学领域包括与纳米结构的光学相互作用的科学和工程。纳米尺度物体附近增强的光捕获、亚波长限制和强大的局部电磁场的前景促使人们对纳米光学现象进行广泛的研究。作为这些研究的结果，等离子体和纳米光子学的应用已经涉及到不同的学科，从化学到材料科学、生物、医学、信息、能源和通信。最近出现并将在今年的会议上广泛讨论的话题包括：量子力学效应、等离子体激元诱导的热载流子产生、等离子体激元使能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。本着GRC概念的精神，本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，以帮助吸收更多的研究生和该领域的年轻研究人员。演讲者和海报主持人将被鼓励在各种当前话题上强调进步、未发表的工作、新想法和对未来的推测。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力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.
