Nanoscience and nanoengineering enable the design and fabrication of optical sensors and imagers with properties that can surpass traditional bulk sensors in virtually any metric, for example, wavelength range, sensitivity, size, noise, or speed. These properties may derive from quantum phenomena, nanostructuring or ordering, or may rely on their length scales to visualize physical or chemical events that happen at the nanoscale. This multidisciplinary symposium will bring together scientists and engineers developing detectors that leverage nanoscale in their design and researchers using these devices to probe nanoscale systems, a task that may pose challenging requirements for the device performance. The discussion will cover the latest developments and trends in optical sensing as well as current and emerging applications of optical sensors.
The conference program will consist of oral and poster presentations on topics that include, but are not limited to:
· optical sensors and imagers for UV, VIS, IR, and THz, particularly those utilizing nanostructures such as superlattices, quantum wells, quantum wires, and epitaxial and colloidal quantum dots
·optical fiber sensors based on nanostructured coatings
·single-photon detectors and counters ·novel concepts in nanoengineered sensors
·nanoengineering techniques in the fabrication of detectors and imagers
·advanced ROICs and signal processing algorithms for increased detector sensitivity, speed, multi-color operation, and other desired performance characteristics
·interface between sensors, optics, and objects at nanoscale
·applications of optical sensing in materials science, communications, quantum information science, quantum encryption, medical imaging, DNA sequencing, and others
·modeling of photon detection.
