The program will facilitate discussions on various current hot topics such as Metasurfaces and Metadevices, Acoustic and Phononic Metamaterials, Plasmon-enhanced Spectroscopy, Quantum and Nonlinear Photonics, Nanophotonics for Biology and Medicine, and much more.</p> <p>The conference will be organized in four days, from Tuesday 19 July to Friday 22 July 2022 and will feature several plenaries, keynotes, special invited sessions and tutorials.</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #f4661b;">META is now a Hybrid Event: Online and In-Person!</span></h2> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img class="img-responsive center-block" src="https://metaconferences.org/META/images/META2022_plenaries.png" alt="META2022 plenary speakers" width="800" height="298" /></strong></p> <h2 class="entry-title"> </h2> <h2 class="entry-title"><span style="color: #003366;"><span style="color: #008da9;">Year after year, META becomes a MUST ATTEND Event!</span></span></h2> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img class="img-responsive center-block" src="https://metaconferences.org/META/images/meta20-ppt.png" alt="META Statistics" width="680" height="346" /></strong></p> <h2 class="entry-title"><span style="color: #003366;"><span style="color: #008da9;">Videos from past META conferences</span></span></h2> <h3 class="entry-title"><span style="color: #ff7f00;">Metasurfaces for Light Management in Semiconductor Thin Films<br /></span></h3> <p><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Deirdre O'Carroll Rutgers University, USA</strong> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><em>In this talk, recent work on improving light trapping and light extraction in organic semiconductor thin films using plasmonic metasurfaces is presented. Numerous optical phenomena, such as absorption induced scattering, out-of-plane waveguiding and morphology-dependent surface plasmon outcoupling, are identified due to exciton-plasmon coupling between the organic semiconductor and the metasurface.</em></p> <div class="video-container"><object class="img-responsive" style="width: 560px; height: 315px;" data="https://www.youtube.com/v/7-Kd12T_mQ8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100" height="100"> </object></div> <p> </p> <h3 class="entry-title"><span style="color: #ff7f00;">Structuring Light and Dark with Metaoptics<br /></span></h3> <p><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Federico Capasso, Harvard University, USA</strong> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Metasurfaces can generate arbitrary vector beams. I discuss devices that enable light’s spin and orbital angular momentum (OAM) to evolve, simultaneously, from one state to another along the propagation direction and polarizing elements that virtually rotate their orientation as a function of the propagation distance. Advances in high OAM lasing will be reported along with the design and realization of two-dimensional phase and polarization singularities.</em></p> <div class="video-container"><object class="img-responsive" style="width: 560px; height: 315px;" data="https://www.youtube.com/v/p7oaHWZnk2M" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100" height="100"> </object></div> <p> </p> <h3 class="entry-title"><span style="color: #ff7f00;">4D Structured Waves</span></h3> <p><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Nader Engheta, University of Pennsylvania, USA</strong> </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Varying materials parameters in time, in addition to (or instead of) spatial inhomogeneities in material platforms, can provide additional degrees of freedom in structuring and sculpting waves that lead to interesting functionalities in wave-matter interaction. While the spatial and/or temporal variations of material parameters have certain analogies and similarities, they exhibit important differences. In this talk, I will present an overview of some of the ongoing research programs on this topic in my group, will discuss the salient features, and will forecast possible future directions.</em></p> <div class="video-container"><object class="img-responsive" style="width: 560px; height: 315px;" data="https://www.youtube.com/v/ufnuGIgWKr0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100" height="100"> </object></div> <p> </p> <h3 class="entry-title"><span style="color: #ff7f00;">Applications of metasurfaces: From multispectral imaging to optical communications and biosensing</span></h3> <p><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>Maiken H.
