Applied Physics and Materials Science

Photonics and Optical Materials

This track delves into materials that manipulate light at micro- and nano-scales. Topics include photonic crystals, metamaterials, nonlinear optics, lasers, and waveguides. Advances in optical communication, quantum optics, solar cells, and display technologies are covered. The session welcomes theoretical, experimental, and simulation-based contributions that address light–matter interactions, optical device integration, and high-efficiency photonic components for data processing, sensing, and imaging.
