Synopsis

Nanophotonics is a rapidly advancing field shaping next-generation optical technologies. This TOM features sessions ranging from nanoscale light–matter interactions to integrated photonic platforms. Key topics include advances in plasmonics, metasurfaces, dielectric nanoantennas, and emerging insights into ultrafast and nonlinear nanophotonic phenomena. Developments in quantum nanophotonics such as single-photon sources and coherent control, will also be highlighted.
The program emphasizes innovative fabrication approaches enabling precise subwavelength manipulation, alongside applications in sensing, imaging, communications, and energy harvesting. Industrial perspectives on scalable photonic integration underline the growing technological impact of the field. Given its multidisciplinary nature, contributions addressing challenges in simulation, materials, hybrid integration, and device interoperability are especially encouraged.
