The Friedrich Schiller University Jena is organizing a two-day workshop on structured light and its applications. The workshop aims to foster exchange of ideas and disseminate the state of the art in the field of structured light. By including different aspects of the vast field of structured light, the goal is to provide a comprehensive view on this exciting field, to nurture new ideas by the meeting of specialists in different sub-fields, and eventually to pave the way to new collaborations between researchers with complementary expertise.
The workshop is intended both for established and young researchers -PhD students, early stage researchers and highly motivated Master students- who want either to learn how to exploit all the degrees of freedom of a light beam for their own research, or to find new ideas to pursue along their academic career.
We invite submissions in the general area of structured light with topics including but not limited to:
Nanophotonics
Optical angular momentum and its manipulation
Structured beams for optical tweezing
Complex polarization states for information processing in the classical and in the quantum regime
Geometric phase in optics
Spin-orbit interaction in photonics
Tunable beam shaping using liquid crystals
Optical metasurfaces for beam shaping
Nonlinear optics with structured beams
Light-matter interaction with structured beams
