Nano-Optics: Principles Enabling BasicResearch and Applications

NATO Science for Peace and Security Series

This Series presents the results of scientific meetings supported under the NATOProgramme: Science for Peace and Security (SPS).

The NATO SPS Programme supports meetings in the following Key Priority areas:(1) Defence Against Terrorism; (2) Countering other Threats to Security and (3) NATO,Partner and Mediterranean Dialogue Country Priorities. The types of meetings supportedare generally “Advanced Study Institutes” and “Advanced Research Workshops”. TheNATO SPS Series collects together the results of these meetings. The meetings areco-organized by scientists from NATO countries and scientists from NATO’s “Partner” or“Mediterranean Dialogue” countries. The observations and recommendations made at themeetings, as well as the contents of the volumes in the Series, reflect those of participantsand contributors only; they should not necessarily be regarded as reflecting NATO viewsor policy.

Advanced Study Institutes (ASI) are high-level tutorial courses to convey the latestdevelopments in a subject to an advanced-level audience.

Advanced Research Workshops (ARW) are expert meetings where an intense butinformal exchange of views at the frontiers of a subject aims at identifying directions forfuture action.

Following a transformation of the programme in 2006, the Series has been re-named andre-organised. Recent volumes on topics not related to security, which result from meetingssupported under the programme earlier, may be found in the NATO Science Series.

The Series is published by IOS Press, Amsterdam, and Springer, Dordrecht, in conjunctionwith the NATO Emerging Security Challenges Division.

Preface

This book presents an account of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on “Nano-Structures for Optics and Photonics – Nano-optics: Principles Enabling BasicResearch and Applications” held in Erice, Sicily, Italy, from July 4 to 19, 2015.This meeting was organized by the International School of Atomic and MolecularSpectroscopy of the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture.Sponsors of the meeting have been the Italian Ministry of University and Scientific-Technological Research, Sicilian Regional Government, and Boston College. Theextraordinary opportunities of nanotechnology were predicted by Richard Feynman(Nobel Prize in Physics) in a landmark talk called “There Is Plenty of Room atthe Bottom” on December 12, 1959, before the American Physical Society meetingheld at Caltech. Throughout the last decade, nanoscience and nanofabrication haveprompted a remarkable progress in the field of optics and photonics. These in turnhave become important driver and toolbox of nanotechnologies, e.g., resulting innovel super-resolution approaches in optical microscopy and lithography. Such asynergic interplay has favored the development of important optics and photonicssubfields, such as three-dimensional optical lithography and microscopy beyond theAbbe diffraction limit, optical diagnostics and biosensing, bio- photonics, opticaldata and ultracompact and ultrafast optical telecommunication devices, energy-efficient lighting, efficient sustainable solar energy conversion, a completely newlevel of molding the flow of light and controlling light-matter interaction nearlyon the atomic scale, nano-antennas, artificial optical materials (“metamaterials”)assembled from these antennas, and nano-plasmonic structures. Transformationoptics and “flat optics” expand the concepts of metamaterials and metasurfaces,respectively, toward intentionally spatially inhomogeneous structures, e.g., for invis-ibility cloaking and flat lenses or flat polarization optics. The Institute introduced thestudents to the fascinating field of nanoscience and nanotechnology and provideda comprehensive overview of experiments and theory and basic physics andapplications as well as nanofabrication and optical characterization. It has broughttogether physicists, chemists, biologists, and engineers. According to the besttradition of the past institutes, the consideration of fundamentals was the underlyingprinciple of the 2015 school, furnishing the background to reach the frontiers of

research in a systematic and didactic fashion. The participants were protagonists ofthe meeting: they had the opportunity to present and discuss their research work withpeople from around the world thanks to slots devoted to short seminars or posters.Moreover, a few roundtable discussions were conducted during the course enablingthe organizers and lecturers to get immediate feedback from the participants aboutthe organizational aspects of the course, the scientific contents, and the ability of thelecturers to teach complex scientific topics in a didactic, stimulating, and inspiringway. On the last day of the course, all participants had the opportunity to fill outa questionnaire comprising an evaluation form for the course, organization, andlectures as well as to express their views, criticisms, and advices. The results of bothroundtable discussions and questionnaire are summarized in the following pages. Ingeneral, high scientific level of the course, friendly atmosphere, and social moments(dinners, excursions, poster sessions, roundtables) promoting interaction betweenparticipants (students and professors) as well as lecturers available for discussionduring the whole time of the meeting were pointed out.
