Motivation
In 2018 it occurs the 40th anniversary of the publication of the first Brillouin Light Scattering (BLS) results obtained by John R. Sandercock using the high-contrast Tandem Fabry-Pérot (TFP) interferometer. He applied for the patent in 1977 and he got it in 1980.
In 2018 we also celebrate 30 years of BLS activity of the GHOST laboratory at Perugia University, Italy.
The focus will be on the technical capabilities and developments of BLS (including recent advances in micro-focused scanning operation mode), but different topics will be addressed, including: Advances in the instrumentation for BLS; Spin waves, spintronic and magnonic devices; Spin-orbitronic effects and topological materials; Elastic and viscoelastic properties of films, multilayers and bulk materials; Phononic structures and acoustic resonators; Medical and Clinical Applications; Phenotyping and Novel Applications in the Life Sciences; Instrument Design and Data Analysis; Correlative and Comparative Methods; Outreach and Dissemination.

Special Session
A Special Session (afternoon of Sept. 12), will be devoted to the celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Tandem Fabry-Pérot Interferometer, including the delivery of the PhD "Honoris Causa" to John R. Sandercock for his invention and its impact on science and technology. Keynote speakers for this "Special Hystorical Session" will be Prof. Burkard Hillebrands (Univ. of Kaiserslautern) and Prof. Fabrizio Nizzoli (formerly at Univ. of Ferrara)
2nd BioBrillouin Meeting
The Event will be partly joint with the 2nd BioBrillouin Meeting, organized in the framework of a dedicated Cost Action: https://www.biobrillouin.eu/
Venue
The Meeting will be held at Hotel Giò “Jazz and Wine”, located at walking distance from the wonderful historic center of Perugia and from the University
